That site has so many good videos. I wish the camera was in the Audi though. Rather be looking at the TI.

Speaking of Audi wagons, just yesterday I saw what had to be a 70yr old woman get into a Audi S4 wagon, I was just awestruck as to how she survives behind that wheel.

that didn't make sense. Looked like the audi was gaining on him fast from the start, the Ti owner saw it gaining on him, punched it for 4 seconds, and then let off

audi wagon is the most stylist in my opinion, but it is still a vw. I was thinking the same but just purchased a 325it touring wagon. kinda slow but it handles awesome and has a ton of room. pic not mine

Yeah...that was me.

Details: His battle wagon was running a GT28RS @ 23-24psi on 110 octane that day.
It wasn't a bonofide race by any means (didn't even know he was gonna post these up).

He had just got the A/F tuned for the upgraded turbo (after several months) and we were heading to the track to see some results. Before we left, Josh said, "Here's a camera...takes some vids of my car".

I said, "Alright, dude, but I am not going above 100". (I am not much into street racing.) All of this took place on a long stretch of interstate (speedlimit of 70). The vids were of 60-90mph pulls.

Now, the video can be deceptive. I let-off and even braked when I hit 90mph (I like low insurance rates), so there is a "sling shot" effect that makes the Audi look like a rocket ship. The Audi was a good-bit faster than my hatch, but nothing like the video leads you to believe.

They were more or less supposed to be videos to show-off his newly tuned Audi.

He's got a ton of torque-to-weight over me so with both of us having passengers...I was on the losing end. I could feel an acelleration loss with a passenger. Had we been without passengers and I would have gone to higher speeds, I think I could have slowed his pull a bit better.

But whatever. The audi was faster.

Afterwards, I drove his audi at the dragway. On high boost, it pulls harder than my old Lightning.

Those vids are from like April. I have since sold the 330ti and traded in the lightning for an '05 EVO MR. Here is a vid from the MR vs. Audi race (I am in the left lane). http://videos.streetfire.net/Player.aspx?fileid=48FAD7AE-5A7E-4234-AFF4-3B87374D5C84&kw=29&p=0

I redlighted by .018, but he cut a good tree, so it was close enough. The video is crap, but I put about 2+ CL's on him by the end and was still pulling (The MR traps a bit higher). My MR just has a full 3" exhaust and K&N drop-in filter.

He has since sold the audi (see a trend?!!!!).

Hey Sean

I was told you did a diff swap and kept your 318ti flanges in the diff. I've got a 3.46LSD from a 5 series to put in. I plan on using my 318ti flanges. Can you confirm that the 318ti flanges work fine in the 3.46 6-cylinder housing, and will hold up?

Thanks
Eric

I took the grease covers off the ends of the axles to fit them in. It's nasty looking, but the output flanges are cup desgined, so I packed some extra grease in the CV joint, and seal the output flange and axle together with some silicone. It's not the best solution, but it's "How I roll".

I probably had 40-50 passes at the strip, not to mention Auto-X's and funny-business, so durability wasn't a problem. This was with a E34 M5 clutch, too, so the diff. got put through heck and back.

BTW, the diff I used was from my '86 535i (3.25LSD). It had about 150K on it. No probelms at all. BMW over-engineers their drive-line.
