Help!! EVO SST TRADE C180K

[Oakleykoh]

CHipping not expensive leh. ABT tune can get 210hp (160hp in stock form), & they claim same emmision level as stock, not to mention comes with real warranty. But must use 98 Oct fuel (not all pump station have).

 

But the most important thing is I find my current car in stock form very well balance, & I appreciate the engine for what it is in current stock form, so I am sticking to it.

 

I didn't even intend to get an Audi, just a small ford Fiesta, as first time driving on other side of the road, & not used to driving condition in Germany. My thought was to get a small & simple car, so if I hit my car here & there (which I already did a few times in my current car), its not so bad.

I was almost decided on the Fiesta but decide to take a last test drive on the A3. Sold by the audi after test drive.

 

In Germany, test drive is very interesting, they let you test drive for 30mins-1 hour...alone! Take down your particular & hand you the keys. Just explain a little on the gears & off you go.

 

But I am glad I got my current car. I think I will have a hard time shipping funiture home with the little ford. Coming from a 400+hp Evo, the pick up from the A3 is surprising not bad. The top end cannot hold a candle (afterall this is not s3 or RS3), but low end the acceleration is smooth & rather punchy with light tap (50%) on throttle at low rev. It does go out of breathe at high rev, not like my evo that pull hard to redline.

 

But in all honesty, for normal driving, I think its ok.

 

but my craving for speed is not over, as I am eyeing on faster, more luxurious car already, but not so soon. I am eyeing the new BMW 5er. Maybe I try a diesel, to feel the torque!

does ABT provide the dyno chart to show the gain?

And does ECU remap (full data logging) void warranty and it is so easily detected?

 

What I got to know is that ford focus ST can gain up to 50bhp and 95nm torque just by ECU tuning =)

C180 Kompressor will be at 20bhp and 18nm torque increase.

I do not know many details. I do know ABT provide warranty for the engine for 1 or 2 years. It's located 400 km south of where I live. It's a reputable company, & the mod are legal & approved. My car is also out of manufacturer warranty period, but I have 1 year mandatory warranty from dealer which have 7 months left.

 

But I am not so keen on modded these days.

 

Just a good fast car with with options & color I like, thats it.

Eh, you are too humble, I only can afford 1 cheapo car.

 

Wanted to get a 2nd hand S13/4/5 car to play with, but now have to abort plans.

 

 

all cheapos, only one is decent..... all add up total value = less than half the car most guys drive here...

I am also a fan of the s13, s15! Where are they nowadays? Kept away like treasure by their owners? Really rare on the roads now

 

My cheapos are many "ranks" below these models.

There are very few available on sale. Evo 6 (Tommi Makinen's edition ) is even more rare , would be a gem to grab as a collector's item for weekend driving.

 

My only car is also ranked below yours as well leh.
