Audi S4 NOZ comp

As some of you already know, I felt the wish to take part in a bit of tuning as well as fletch recently did

I've tried by myself but without any comp, I don't feel comfortable with the fact and the results of course too. I always need something like a challenge.

So I read about NOZ' Audi S4 No-Aero competition where I spontaniously signed up in.

My first few thoughts about tuning were quite disappointing because I saw how difficult it is to get a car run well. And I chose a No-Aero that might be a handfull to much for a newbee like me. But I kept on and tried something more. I still have to be honest and say that I still do not really understand what the whole changes and adjustments result in. Funny thing is, I notice that the car drives different, but don't ask me why and how it does

I set my first few times in this IMO absolutely beautiful Audi S4. There are 4 tracks that the cars wil be driven on, Mugello, Motegi east, Suzuka and Silvertone GP.
I tweaked a bit today morning and set the following for now:

Mugello long: 1:51.963
Suzuka: 2:04.289
Motegi east: 1:24.135 with .3 penalty! So a high 1:23 is no problem I think
Siverstone I didn't try the track yet because I hate it But I need to.

I already asked Drew to take a look at the car and am looking forward to his comments. I appreciate them, you know that! (I do the same with "your" Chrome!!!)
Also fletch I already got "envolved" a bit to be able to send in a nice looking street painted beau!

I hope I won't disappoit you with my ship in fr the contest and if it looks like the other contenders will be too much better, I'll have to open another department at 787, next to F.B.I. and fletch's LoL.

If anyone wants to comment or has any tips in tuning a completely no-aero car, feel free to say a word.

Thanks for your attention and best from Germany.

I'm done with the S4 now I think. I just drove a 1:51.590 at Mugello. Stil .4 better than my previous with the S4 and still .2 penalty. I send it to you now. I mixed our tunes a bit and I feelit sticks (as far as this car can) to the pavement now even better than before ou"mixup". Maybe the stiffness helped me gettig better.

I send it back to you first before it's going to NOZ.
About the paint... of course I have no problems with the small decals that are on it, but should I send it locked anyway? Because of the 787-wings for example? If yes, we have to arrange a trade

I will only be at home today until 7pm GMT+1 because of Silvester - Day before New Years Eve - Party all over the world hehe!

I wish you ALL the best for 2009, no added financial cisis-issues and health for you and your family!

GT

Well GT you know my feelings on this car. I like it that it is different and it looks pretty sharp too. The only thing that would make this thing better would be better braking. But it is still a nice ride and I guess it is something like a true street car. So I hope we do ok in the contest. If not then I blame you LOL.

I hope it will at least take part in a kind of way in the comp. I do not expect winning cause there are are some good guys on board tuning the Audi. But however, I was kind of satisfied with the result. Okay maybe because of not knowing thr others outcome
Better not blame me, I'm faster in the states than you could believe lol. Lets make it the way we talked about in the xbl messages haha

Very silent these forums...Bret still on vacation?
Our EVO 8MR gots reselled with noticible higer prizes, even no-buyouts. I try to stock the ah a bit wih cars, but thats a bottomless pit (((

Yeah it is quite here. I don't know where everyone has gone. But about the Evo 8. I have kind of given up on putting up the old cars unless somebody asks for them just because of that reason. If you just put them up then some ass buys them all and it is really a waste of my time. So I just wait till somebody that will enjoy them asks me for one then build it up. Saves the anger.
