thanks ;Df

The first post on this thread has a time stamp of April 07, 2008, 02:09pm and said this car will be arriving in a few weeks' time.

From nkc's responses, it appears this car has been delivered by now Am I missing something?

@kashif,

u aint missing a thing, read my responses well, u will see that i am expectant of d car too, d only thing i did was to pay for d car(deposit), so that does that have more bidding power, can be strangled out, lol . u like d car?

Sure, I love the car. Just thought you are already in possession because of your response to its rim/tyre specs.

The babe is great, no doubt. Who no like better thing

my broda,
well i have info on d tyres, so am just preparing , for d arrival of d baby.i want it to be happy

@kashif,

can see u r my broda from stocks, keep it up

nkc:

To answer some of your questions:

[list]
[li]The car comes with brand new manuals[/li]
[li]It has 16in Alloy Wheels[/li]
[/list]

lol, manual, i feel like a baby, chei, manual,

well, well ,well, siena where u dey, rims nko, i need to make plans cos for shizeeeeee, make i no mad oh

nkc:

ah, u mean 16 right or r u saying 17

manual, i feel like a baby

Yes 16in. I corrected the error above.

Well nkc, there's no problem that size fitting (225/60 in 16 rims). Thats the size I changed mine to. I bought a new set of alloys and fitted that size in CHAMPIRO (GT RADIAL) brand (about 16k per tyre 3 years ago). There's no problem that size fitting so enjoy.

I also got some chrome handles and a chrome antenna. Changed the audio system from the standard to a 10cd changer Sony system. Got a turbo gauge on my a-pillar (my car is a 1.9 Turbo Diesel) and a chip for extreme diesel performance in the ECU from Upsolute.

Also I have VAGCOM which help with diagnostics and changing some of the comfort settings of the convenience controller and the Bentley manual.

205/55x16 = 632mm (original size)

225/60x16 = 676mm (way too big, speedo will be way out, and accelleration too)

225/50x16 = 631mm - ideal replacement size.

@siena,

thanks dis is just what i had in mind,thank u , so u r saying it aint gonna touch d fenders, when i whell to d end, right?

@ fotodady,

i am in d market for pirelli, cos i need velocity tyres, and to me they r d best brand for that for those of us in naija, os we dont have much to choose from. as for ur audio, if u see mine in my old passat, u go laff me,its a wagon, and d whole boot na subwoofer, custom made.as for those chips trust me, i go get am soon, those vagcom stuff will be real good, i will order mine too, with my car, send me d model of yurs make i use check, cos am still confused, want the best.

thank u, pls sienna, add some points of upgrade for me

cos dis car must be fly

The 225/50x16 tyres are pretty much the same rolling radius as the originals. Even if the car was lowered 40mm, they won't rub the fenders.

thank u, is dis d max size i can go on dis stock rims, or is there any oda tyre size, considering d car

@siena

what do u think about, run flats, r they any good, and what d best tyre maker for extreme conditions, hot weather and speedy actions, just like d ones u use on yur rs4

thinking of having them fit it before it get here

nkc:

thank u, is this d max size i can go on this stock rims, or is there any oda tyre size, considering d car

225-section tyres are the widest I'd go on a 7" wide rim.

Run-flats are not very comfortable - the sidewalls are extremely hard. They also wear out a lot quicker than conventional rubber.

@siena

okay thanks, decided to go for a vagcom and a hex-usb-can interface, with a bentley manual 1998-2005 to match, am good to go.


hope i made a good choice?

Excellent choice there, Nkc.

@siena,

thank u sir, i feel happy

@siena

suppose, i decide one day to go, 17inch or 18inch or 19inch, what maximum ' J ' should i go on each and what maximum tyre size should i go with , like

235 by 45 by 17 etc, what are my max options for all rim sizes?

thank u

Original size: 205/55x16 = 632mm (7.0" - 7.5" x 16" rim)

Alternative 17": 225/45x17 = 634mm (7.5" - 8" x 17" rim)
Alternative 18": 235/35x18 = 622mm (8.5" - 9" x 18" rim)
Alternative 19": 235/30x19 = 624mm (8.5" - 9" x 19" rim)
Alternative 19": 245/30x19 = 630mm (8.5" - 9" x 19" rim)
Alternative 19": 255/30x19 = 636mm (9.0" - 10" x 19" rim)

These are all size combinations I've used on clients Passat B5.5. Most of these cars are really low, and no tyre-to-fender / bumper contact. The Passat B5.5 wheel arches are quite large. 20" rims have been fitted, but the ride was bone hard, not a size I'd recommend.

Nkc, I also believe you enquired about power upgrades for the V6 30V motor.

Apart from a remap, freeflow exhaust and sports cats, as well as a decent panel filter, there isn't really a lot for the naturally aspirated motor. With these modifications, you'll gain no more than 10 - 15 hp, not very noticeable for the money spent.


What I do fit out here is supercharger kits. These are G2 Eaton units, and it's been designed for the Audi / Volkswagen V6 30V engines, from 2,4 - 2,8L. Power goes up to a healthy 275 hp. Thes are complete bolt-on kits, and include all the software, larger injectors, the supercharger itself and all pipework, mounting brackets, drive pulley and belts.

Without replacing the motor with the S4 / RS4 2,7 Biturbo V6 30V, (265 - 380 hp respectively) it's the most cost effective, worthwhile addition in terms of power per £.

@siena,

now yur r talking to me like yur son, first, the tyre sizes yu gave me can be run on stock suspensions and stock every evry, from those choices what d best bargain, it terms of car handling and all that, since u said 20s are stiff, which one from those is d highest i can go and still be funky.

lol, pls does yur supercharger kits, can i do it on my own, is it plug and play,because i want em, badly-380hp, is like what da f**k,i love it. how can i get em, and how much does it cost.and what things do i need to install them, are they all on d kit, waiitng thanks

380 hp is the stock RS4 Biturbo V6 30V. The most the supercharger will generate is on average 275 - 300 hp. More if boost levels are increased, but the default settings are best kept.

All G2 kits are supplied with instructions, and fitting time for a novice is typically 5 - 6 hours. Everything I've listed above comes with the kit.

Like most things that are custom built for a particular application, they are NOT cheap. The pursuit of power is expensive, you'll be looking at £3,250, plus shipping.

interesting, thats like 800k, perfecto, u said i can fit it myself, that means all i need is in that kit, cool.

pricey for now,so i will make do first with cosmetic modifications, been looking at vwvortex forums, does guys r ill, so after some cosmetic mods, then i will come for that supercharger kit, they sure make em expensive,

as for d tires, does specs can be run on stock suspensions right, choose d best for me, if it were u, thanks

also, i am made to understand that, the colour of d car is SILVERSTONE GRAY METTALIC, looking at that picture on d first page, is that d colour,?

Hard to go by the colour based on pictures. Once you pick up the car, simply post the paint code here, and I'll tell you. It's on a data sticker in the trunk, and also in the first page of the service booklet.

I'm running 255/35x18 Dunlop SP900's on my car, my rim size is 8.5" x 18".

hmmm , yurs is 255 not 235 for d alternative u gave me on 18inch rims , will do so for d colour wheni get it

can i run yur tyres succesfully,

Your size - 205/55x16 (632mm)
My size - 255/35x18 (636mm)

My original wheel / tyre size was the same as mine, at 205/55x16, so yes, you can run the same size as I'm currently running.

I personaly used it in yankee and am going back soonest. the car is well maintained and I personally used it n yankee so its clean and very strong engine and all the usual luxury,premium infiniti made leather seats, port and controlls for 6 CD changer ( although they stole the changer itself at the ports), its both a 2WD and 4WD u can switch to ever drive u want depending on terrain, it has a remote starter for hot days if u want to start it from outside so the AC can cool it.
