Hello guys! I write here in the forum, because I think to find here the people with the most experience, even if I don’t want to race. I drive an A3 (see signature) and am quite dissatisfied with the brakes. It runs very well, so that I have no problem on the AB to get the up 230 km/h (tacho!). I find however the brakes are not designed for it. Especially the wet braking behavior is bad. I don’t want to install any other saddles (Brembo GT Junior would be good), white I had thought: – other discs (holed/slit) – the so-called wet brake solution for the A3 (large air guide plates) – other linings – possibly steel flex, if you are already there I actually did not want to change the brake fluid. It should be enough for fast AB-drives, the brakes will probably never get really hot anyway. The linings still give me the biggest concern, I would like to have a brake that packs well abe What do you think about the combination Zimmermann or ATE Power Disk plus Ferodo Performance? I also heard bad things about the Ferodo, but as I said, road use, nothing more… What else can you recommend? Which steel flexible hoses are what? Maybe someone has a good tip…! da_baitsnatcha

Hello together, what do you think of a Golf 3 GTI as a ring tool? I mean 116 hp is too little in the long run? Should this also be used as a fun mobile and only occasionally used on the NS. But if also as a 2nd vehicle! Do or not

Hello, I wanted to ask if anyone here has any experience with the use of NOS. I actually only know this from PC games (NFS underground) and Fast&Furious. But the other day I’m travelling from Frankfurt to Mainz and there’s a test timer in his Civic lighting the afterburner and disappearing towards the horizon – completely left me! How does the conversion work? And what does it cost? And I heard that it can smash the engine… Thanks for the feedback!

Hello to all car enthusiasts! I realize that the actual racing experience on the race track is being gathered. However, I would be interested if you are of the opinion that by playing racing simulations on the PC theoretical experience can be gained for real driving? You can unfortunately not every day on the track but some evenings you can play simulations. Games that I feel are useful for example FIA GTR, GT Legends, Live for Spee d and Grand Prix Legends. Can you tell the real driving skills on the PC? After all, you react in the PC exactly as you would in reality, if you were on the race track. You will only be able to drive in the game as you have the knowledge and the right technology in mind, that is to say driving the ideal line, correct braking point, correct switching and maximum cornering speed. What do you think about the topic? I am very interested in your opinion!

hy…. since in racing often very deep, fast and also apparently well “legged” cars (porsche 11er) go to the start, has opened up a question with me. can a super driver (e.g. a porsche 911 turbo) be prevented, e.g. over the nordschleife hammers also really with hard limiters at the inspring? I always thought that this is the absolute supergau and in this moment the vehicle is “unberechenbar”.how can one realize in racing the springway limitation effectively, o Is it necessary to use these pu zasatzfeder to increase the spring rate or to progressively apply this? how much one-way travel must still be guaranteed, so that you don’t have a part of German roads during a sporty ride? (ideal example would be the Nordschleife again, which is very similar to the road?) I would be very happy about expert answers. gruß micha

With every discussion about sports cars comes like this, or so always the following sentence: “The Bugatti would easily stomp it into the ground” Bugatti is in this case a house number and can be replaced by Ferarri or Lamborgini ect.. Personally, the purist driving pleasure alla Ariel Atom, Lotus Elise or Caterham 7 entices me (I have decided for this one and only have to wait 7 months). However, I would like to know how it is about the sporting performance If these cars offer something for money, they are good. Or is it pure image. I realize that a lotus on the highway doesn’t have the touch of a chance, but pass or country road? How do you feel about these expensive mostly Italian sports cars?

Hello, I’m looking for a fun car for the summer (if it works with the money as planned). There are a few cars to choose from and wanted to hear which makes the most fun on the country road and the slalom group G/SE. There are some different concepts to choose from in the bar… Ford Focus RS Ford Focus ST (the new 2.5T) Mitsubishi Carisma EVO Subaru Impreza WRX STi Honda S2000 BMW M3 (e30/e36) Total costs should remain in the end below 25,000€… Greeting Stefan

Hello together! I am looking for information about the Weber double carburetor DCOE. There seems to be several types, e.g. I read from an Opel DCOE-9. What do these differ from ? Also I have heard of the Dellorto or other construction like should be (vage) ? I need 3 pieces for a row six, can you combine different ? Where can you get Venturis, nozzles etc. ? Thanks in advance Christian

Yeah, just 10 days to Drift Challenge and the Tuner GP at Hockenheimring… who’s going to do it all?

Hi, I’m just planning for the future, because I’m planning to make a real racing emblem for the road, the question now is, which car do I take as the basis for this project. I have a few criteria that are important to me, but in the framework of which I couldn’t find anything, maybe you know cars that meet my criteria, would please me. 1. Should be affordable, i.e. in used and drivingable form for no more than 7000 euro 2. I don’t want to have any S Elbst bearing body made of steel, i.e. either self-supporting from aluminium or lattice tube frame. (the point makes the search the hardest…) 3. as far as possible rear drive (front drive would be under conditions but also acceptable) 4. The car should be as Spartan as possible, so no airbag, air conditioning, electric window lifter etc. you know what I am looking for my 5th hard roof.
