chrislich Posted December 7, 2015 Posted December 7, 2015 Great thread. And just to add, i hate you so so much. Such a sexy looking car Tbh I keep popping my head out the window to look at it. Such a beautiful looking car. I never thought when I first seen an r8 I'd ever get to drive one let alone own one lol. Hard work pays off. Misses gave me the unrealistic ultimatum the other night. She said "if you had to choose between me or that bloody car who would you choose?" I genuinely paused and had to think. Went down like a tramp on chips. 😂😂😂😂 she wasn't best pleased lol Sent from my SM-G928F using Tapatalk Pauses are never good. Even a hint of hesitation and thats a hangable offence. Been there 1 Quote
monkeybrain1234 Posted December 7, 2015 Posted December 7, 2015 Nice car fella. Not a massive Audi fan but I do respect R8's. Sure you will have a lot of fun. Quote
choptop Posted December 7, 2015 Posted December 7, 2015 My mate recently bought an RS. Been a money pit so far but he is highly delighted with it Quote
laytonanthony Posted December 9, 2015 Author Posted December 9, 2015 Took no chances on this one. It's in tomorrow now the seals have finally arrived. Having new oil cooler and seals, oil filter, oil change, new spark plugs, coolant flush, and new gearbox oil. Then Friday the exhaust is going on it which I'm. Excited to hear lol Quote
mouthwash Posted December 9, 2015 Posted December 9, 2015 Can you not just run it like that advert? No exhaust. Quote
laytonanthony Posted December 9, 2015 Author Posted December 9, 2015 Never got tired of watching that advert. Always brought a smile to my face, even more so now! Lol. Exhaust is going to sound unreal. Especially when the valves are opened! Quote
laytonanthony Posted December 11, 2015 Author Posted December 11, 2015 So £928 later and the car has had a new oil cooler, spark plugs, oil change, coolant change, gearbox oil, oil filter, pollen filter. Now I have piece of mind lol Quote

laytonanthony Posted December 11, 2015 Author Posted December 11, 2015 Exhaust fitted today. When I push that button and those valves open up...... F#@k me! It sounds unreal! Can't describe it! Will post a video tomorrow. Only word us "EPIC" LOL. Quote
AMT Posted December 14, 2015 Posted December 14, 2015 So £928 later and the car has had a new oil cooler, spark plugs, oil change, coolant change, gearbox oil, oil filter, pollen filter.Now I have piece of mind lol ... I nearly collapsed haha Get some vids up when its all done! Quote
laytonanthony Posted December 15, 2015 Author Posted December 15, 2015 Will try do some videos tomorrow. Weather has been shocking and these dark evenings don't help either! 😠1 Quote
laytonanthony Posted December 17, 2015 Author Posted December 17, 2015 UPDATE! clutch went yesterday lol. Luckily covered under warranty I took out, otherwise a 3k bill. Ouch!!! Going in today, hopefully be done before Xmas! Quote

Dynamic Turtle Posted December 17, 2015 Posted December 17, 2015 Surprised the warranty company covers wear items like the clutch, which one is it? Quote
laytonanthony Posted December 17, 2015 Author Posted December 17, 2015 Well the guy I know from the garage will ensure the clutch hasn't failed from wear & tear ;-) but you right it won't be covered by warranty for wear and tear. Also the dealer has offered to make a contribution if this is the case. Only problem now is that I can't have it done until the 4th of Jan! Gutted! Quote
Dynamic Turtle Posted December 17, 2015 Posted December 17, 2015 That is crap but hey think of all the port you can down over Xmas instead?! Quote
laytonanthony Posted December 18, 2015 Author Posted December 18, 2015 (edited) I was thinking more along the lines of how much money I'll be saving on fuel lol! I done £300 on my first week of owning it haha Edited December 18, 2015 by laytonanthony 1 Quote
laytonanthony Posted December 20, 2015 Author Posted December 20, 2015 After Xmas, tts performance have a twin supercharger kit for the v8 and their demo car is ready. The kit is 13k plus vat, fitted. Seriously thinking of having it done. Kicking out 760bhp... Insane, especially with 4 wheel drive! Quote
Bodyboarder81 Posted December 21, 2015 Posted December 21, 2015 ^ and then you will need a new clutch again Would be epic though Quote
laytonanthony Posted December 23, 2015 Author Posted December 23, 2015 V10 clutch, pressure plate and flywheel will be, being fitted to with stand the power. 👠Quote
laytonanthony Posted January 5, 2016 Author Posted January 5, 2016 Update. Car stripped today. Look what we found lol! 🙈 Complete clutch failure and flywheel covered in hotspots. Quite glad it went under warranty. An assessor being sent out tomorrow. Should be covered! Quote
nissanman312 Posted January 5, 2016 Posted January 5, 2016 I saw that tts one when I went up with my pal To look at his s2000 Quote
