  • When is an A3 “basked ??????

    Hi, I have read the tuning measures several times can reduce the value of vehicles. From when does this impairment occur ? As soon as a spoiler lip is on the vehicle ? As soon as the chassis is changed ? Thresholds are installed or does it already have a foil grill on it. I get the money that I put in the tuning parts at the resale actually partly out or even reduce the resale price. Please don’t get me wrong now (especially madze, ic h find your pelican totally beautiful, the same goes for DSGTOM + which I have now forgotten.). Please have a few thoughts on the topic and tell us about your experiences, such as when selling back to dealers or private individuals. Has the tuning paid off or even had a negative effect? From when is an A3 “basked” in your eyes. Many greetings g-j

  • Edelbrock vs Rochester

    Edelbrock gegen Rochester As perhaps some have already recognized on my website: The poor sow! Has ́n Edelbrock 1405 on a 307Olds-Y 7A engine on it. Of course also without Edelbrock suck-in spider! Drives nevertheless, but I want to put it together again as it was 1986. According to my findings, what one of the previous owners did not let the yellow of the egg to say the least. I also do not have a dog-percent idea of the matter (maybe not The whole exhaust gas recirculation is missing. The whole vacuum dryer is not connected. There is also no connection Lambda probe – carburetor – catalyst. TV cable (trottle valve) cable or kick-down cable is not connected. My plan is first to connect at least the TV cable (trottle valve) cable / kick-down strip, so that nothing happens to the transmission (THM200R4). Here would be a picture helpful, like with E In the next step I would change the carburettor. Maybe one of us has a Rochester left or we will exchange it with each other. I have listed all the necessary information on my page under “Motor” . Greeting ALTAVATA

  • Chevy Tahoe or Trailblazer?

    Hello together, I would be happy to hear your opinion and tips on the following. I’m looking to buy a Chevrolet Trailblazer 4.2 or Tahoe 5.3. I’ve read and learned a lot about the Tahoe. Only about the Trailblazer not much yet, e.g. some points I’ve heard say that the Trailblazer is qualitatively worse than the Tahoe. Are there restrictions on the autogas conversion at the Trailblazer? What can you advise me to do? Thank you Madiba

  • Align hood, gap dimensions

    At the moment I have two problems with my 66s Catalina. However, since they are quite different, I start extra threads. As can be seen on the first picture, my gap between the bonnet and the fender is equal to zero. Unfortunately, this caused the paint to suffer. On the other hand, the gap is small, but present. So I solved the screws marked on the second picture and tried to make sure that I can put the fender on the outside. r does not work. After that, I used a protective disc between the bonnet suspension and the fender (see picture 3) (please don’t stone me for it), but it didn’t work either. How can I increase the gap! Maybe that’s no problem for the others here, but since I have hardly any screwdriver experience, I just thought I was asking. Somehow you have to get to the topic.

  • 472 Cadillac Big Block

    In the summer I bought and imported a 1970s cadillac DeVille Convertible from Los Angeles. After he was finally here in the fall, I had the opportunity to drive around a bit on short-term marks. Among other things also at my brother’s wedding. Now everything is ready, that he can for the H-mark by the Baurat. Everything is in a quite good condition, also the cover is brand new, but what I was a bit surprised then was the consumption of fa 40 liters ( ok almost only short distance ) ! Is a standard 472 in it. I would be interested in a few experiences, what such a big block normally consumes and how the consumption can be optimized. Have in winter enough time. e.g. the installation of a noble brock or Hollyvergaser brings something or similar ? With a photo of my Caddi, have not much more. Inside he has leather red. Thank you already for your experiences Gruss Bjoern from HH

  • Welcome of the Cadillac SLS after the start

    Hello guys, I have a question: Every time I start my car a welcome of the Cadillac SLS appears in the field below the ads in which among other things the error codes etc. can be seen. Is it possible to change this greeting? In my case it only shows “driver 2”, in French. (The car comes from Luxembourg) Under the position 1 is “Bonjour, M. Rettel” to read that I would also leave it that way, but under Pos. 2 I would like to change the text….know someone Greetings, Mario.

  • 3.2 driver !!! Where are you??? *scream*

    It’s like a witch. I’m going to drive my already 1 year and in time I’ve seen on the road except my, not another A3 3.2 yet? The probability that I get summer flu is probably higher. Sure in the vicinity of NSU and IN will drive a lot, but here on theändle??? So here’s a call to all 3.2 owners Post times where you come from. Maybe with car color. The thread should not be arrogant, imagined, discriminatory towards other A3 drivers. I’ll start with Haßloch/Pfalz at Ludwigshafen/Rhein Mauritiusblau Pearl effect PS: I’m working on my 3.2er homepage on a member map like Samy801 already has. But it takes n bitsl because it still doesn’t work that way.

  • New A3 – Questions about chassis, radio, cruise control

    I recently tested the new A3 and now I want to order one. 3 questions I have: 1. Normal chassis: Did you also notice that at 180 on the highway the vehicle is very swinging when the road has regular bumps. With us the highway is brand new and still somewhat wavy – always at regular distance … And at high speed the vehicle rocked up properly … that didn’t feel good … you have similar b So the Golf IV with normal chassis doesn’t do that! 2. Radio: Did I understand what’s right here: I can’t buy the new A3 without a radio, otherwise I can’t build in any other things afterwards, because various things (antenna, cabling, loudspeakers, speaker cover in the doors etc.) are missing? 3. Tempomat: Does the actual fuel save (in the same)? Or can I achieve the same effect without a cruise control by driving on the motorway? h have read something of 0.3 liters of fuel savings when driving on motorways with cruise control. Thank you in advance!!!!

  • Wants to ask because I can’t believe it.

    Hello guys: My new intruder C 1500 T is a great thing. Chewed at the beginning of August 2015. I’m generally happy with it. Well. I’ve done the experiment several times and I can’t believe the result. I can’t fill up until I can’t go any more. I can’t drive until the tank is empty but without a drop of gasoline. That’s 221 km. Here it’s not too much or too little Spri. The problema I’m refueling until I can’t go any more and I can’t ever go into it anymore. but the tank is 18 liters according to the seller. IS THE POSSIBLE Suzuki has drunk here and Intruders C 1500 T sold with three liters of small tank as indicated? And if ya. What can you do about it? MfG Angelo

  • First motorcycle

    Good evening together I’m new here in the forum and wanted to ask you about your opinion and experiences. I’ve met 1 month of my driver’s license and thus one of my biggest dreams. I’ve already tested 5 machines once the kawa zx6r the honda cbr 600rr the yamaha yzf r1 rn09 the susi gsx r1000 k4 une the kawa z750. To my person is 1.93 tall 24 years old and have a wide cross and weigh 93 kilo. The problem I have is that I can handle the 600 I have almost over the tank and after 45 min already realize that my knees hurt me well a naked is not so 100% my own I would like a super athlete. The r1 and the k4 have told me very much about sitting much better than the 600 he. Since I’m a starter the 150 ps are way too much to me although the mind tells me the bike drives only as you want to drive it. I think about a throttle but I don’t know if it’s so good. Now my question is euc h what advantages and disadvantages the r1 and the k4 have or you have experiences. Mfg Marcel
