Back to work... After our recent road trip to Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps and the Nürburgring, we knew we still had a few creases that needed ironing out, mainly to fix the inconsistent power figures that we had before the trip. These issues meant we had to limit the power to around 355bhp. Even at this power the car performed better than we expected on and off the track over the course of 1115 miles. If you haven't already seen our vlog on the trip give it a watch: Not long after arrivin …

This one blog is summarising 2 Video's of our Audi A5 3.0 TDI Project! Part 14 and 14.2. Back in Part 8 we travelled over to John Sleath Race Cars to carry out a series of upgrades on our car whilst on the dyno, taking it from 228bhp - 340bhp in the same day. Since then a lot has been happening, and not just with the car... We have recently purchased our own 4WD Dyno Dynamics rolling road. This is something we have had planned for a while but when one came up at the right money we could not refu …

As we plan to run our A5 on the track and have a trip to Spa and the Nurburgring planned in a few weeks time, we thought it wise to install at least a half roll cage, and from past track car experience, we wanted bucket seats and harnesses too to stops us sliding around! We had a look online and nothing that was easily obtainable (most cages were in the USA) or reasonably priced, so we decided to speak to Matt at Slide Motorsport, as they made the cage in our BMW. After a bit of discussion we re …

Part 5 of our A5 BuildWe are now on to the Exhaust System. This is a common modification our customers do, both from a performance, aesthetic and acoustic perspective.A quick look at the stock exhaust, it is 65mm (~2.5") to 55mm (~2.15") and has 2 small boxes right at the back, but is still pretty quiet as the DPF is also a large silencer. It also has twin 3" Rolled Slash Cut Tips as standard. The standard grade of stainless is very poor and we see a lot of cars with rusty ex …

On to Part 4 of our 3.0 TDI Quattro Audi A5 project car vlog.In this vlog we perform our own custom remap on car as well as testing the before and after 0-60mph times on the Racelogic Performance Box to see what difference this makes in the real world, as opposed to the pub bhp figures that can be produced by a dyno. Its a must have item for any enthusiast that wants to varify the upgrades they are doing are worth the outlay. They can also be used as a driver training tool with a little dat …
