Pretty sure some female activists would get together and get the add banned saying its sexist to women portraying them as going after guys with nice cars.........cause that doesn't ever happen......

Audi over Lambo? :D ok...

Lambo has a rather short sports motoring history... Audi has um... virtually none :)

??? Ummmm, ever heard of the Audi Quattro? The car that dominated world rally and brought 4 wheel drive systems into the limelight.

Not to mention Le Mans and DTM racing. Didnt Audi win the Le mans proto race with their new deisel engine?

Audi are a big name in motorsport.

Not to mention that Audi, VW, Bentley and Lambo are all owned by the same company, along with Skoda and a few others from memory.

RALLY not F1.

Besides, we are talking about the R8 here, a newcomer.

I didnt realise that "Sports Motoring History" was an F1 exclusive comment? Im pretty sure Le Mans and DTM count for something as well. Having a car hold together for 24 hours of wide open throttle and to a budget cap i would say is pretty impressive. Design cues and innovations are more likely to filter down to actual road cars from Le Mans than from F1 also.

The R8 was based off the gallardo chassis originally and it sports the awesome V8 engine found in the RS4 that has proven itself to be quite an amazing piece of kit. Not to mention that Lambo only really became a practical and quality brand since Audi took over and instilled some quality to go with the Italian flare.

Ah f**k it. Ive gotta say something. VW OWNS Audi OWNS Lambo. Lamborghini were going bankrupt and VW bailed them out and started with a new slate, there in filling the void in their luxury sport category branch of their automotive tree. Lambo is exotic and VW saw plenty of value in that - its not every day when youre a massive automotive conglomerate rolling in money and suddenly find an opening into one of the most passionate and lucrative automotive sectors...

Modern day Lambos are amongst the top sports cars in the world.

I think its fabulous. You have all the engineering integrity from a German manufacturer mated to the flair and passion of Italian design.

Anyone who thinks Lambo has lost it's soul will be spoken to - Lamborgini is alive and well because of VW.

Also, anyone who thinks they'd take an Audi over a Lambo needs to be checked in. Just the mention of the brand and the decision is made. Audi design is great and all...but...well, Audi is not Lambo, FFS, and will never be. That is why, again, VW bought Lambo.

Having said that, Lamborghini was in F1 will almost no success. Audi on the other hand has already been spoken for. Lamborghini will always be the pick for a street driver but Audi knows more about the track. The thing thats funniest is, they feed off each other so both levels of input go into the car.

The net result? Its a tie..

But i would take the Lambo badge over an Audi badge - EVERY SINGLE TIME.

nicer at the back than the original Gallardo, but a touch fussy at the front. don't really rate the wheels, but that's easy enough to change

would that add pass australian car advertising laws?

not a chance- it shows a car doing illegal things on public streets (drifting, speeding, crossing un-broken double lines)

Nice ad, nice car (though imo italian cars are butt ugly). Would have an R35 over it any day >_>

Are you serious? R35 GTR is a piece of art machine as far as technologygoes, but surely it can't rival the gorgeous lines of Ferraris and Lambos!

For track Id go GTR, for pure prestige and the name Id go with the Italians any day.

      Hypergear Turbochargers and High flow Services Development thread

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      Here's one I help build and tuned a decade ago, Garrett  GTX3071R Gen 1, T3 twin scroll 0.83 rear housing. Went from larger 272 cams down to smaller Tomei Poncams to help with the low end. S13 non VCT motor. Car was purpose built for the track, hence low down was the focus. Note the actual dyno chart shows lower boost, however the EBC and boost gauge showed 1.9Bar (Ignore the torque, I was young and didn't know how to set derived torque)

      Hypergear Turbochargers and High flow Services Development thread

      By hypergear · Posted

      I’m doing some side developments on SR20det S13 engines, its one my hobby cars used it to compare flow capacity of some smaller size wheels. SR20det is one of another JDM legendary engines I'm sure there are plenty of SR enthusiasts on this forum, I will share results some common turbo configurations here. a quick run down of what the car is: Wide body 180sx Type X with black top engine (blue). It has: Stock bottom end Haltech 1500 ECU 5-0 motorsports trigger kit Kelford SR20DET Beehive Spring with Titanium Retainers Kelford Cams SR20DET S13 188-B 268/272 Cams G25-660 Turbocharger in T2 .64 rear housing internally gated ARP Head studs MLS head gasket 1000CC ID injectors Walbro 450L Fuel pump Front mount cooler kit JJR’s 3 inches turbo back exhaust (its too short for the 180sx it had to be extended) Pump 98 fuel Hub Dyno tune So far made 270rwkws at 22psi full boost by 4500RPM. Engine is very knock limited hence a pretty bad looking top end. From previous experiences it seems like SR20dets are happier with bigger size turbine, some thing like a GT30 would make way better top end, but on same time response is lost. It won't be a problem with S15 VCT engines. I'll be testing alternative turbine housing, turbine wheel and possibly dump pipe options for extra flow to resolve the problem and of course E85 would resolve all the issues.

      Wow the colour matched hard top completely transforms the car. Are there any nice front lip options for the car or is that off the table?

      Generally yes but for some reason I've been ruthless this time around!  I might even need to do another tip run after the way I've finally been able to hit the delete button on shit I've stepped over, stepped around and tripped over for the past 10 years!
