Because its not some thing you like why hate on it. But my car is fine as it gets treated very well. No my car is not screaming as it is the weight of may be two people that would sit in the rear. O and yes i have ST coil overs all around.

no explanation for the 400 extra pounds and it is a wast. Some may say what you do to your car is a wast. but you keep doing it because its what you want to do. Some may say why have all that extra power under your hood its a wast because your not F1 driver.

why do you need another alt and what are bls?
The extra allt is for the sound system i have for SPL comps. 300 amps of power.

I'm glad others have also seen the humor, but the more threads like this I see the more disappointed I get re: the C5 scene

The next thing the person will be doing is 'slamming' their car to the ground and adding a rear lifted spoiler
if this is the case you should be upset all S models from audi. they all have spoilers and are droped a couple of inches for better control and handling.

I actually have a C6 s- line with kw v1 coil overs, so completely understand the improved handling one can achieve through a well thought out suspension system.

what I was referring to is the folks that have there car practically scraping the ground and whereby every speed bump and pot hole is the equivalent of a crater. As for the spoiler I've recently seen a ludicrous c5 that had a something on the back which looked like it came off a pikes peak special vs. a German city sedan.

I'm all for expressing oneself, however not sure what the motivation is behind this ' upgrade', since it seems far better results can be achieved that not only make more useable power but just a better overall vehicle

where to start... well first off, its waste. not wast, i dont know what the **** a wast is, but i think the word you wanted not once, or twice, but THREE times, was waste.


secondly SPL comps? seriously they still have those? sheesh car audio was soooo 90's i didnt know anyone wasted their time with that crap anymore.

hope you didnt spend more then a couple hundred on all of it, as SPL grade can be had from china for pennys on the dollar.


We are sad for that audi because its such a horrible fate for it, one it would never have endured had it not been bought second hand :/


dont get mad because we think 400 BLS (whatever the hell that is) is stupid to put in your trunk.



Bottom line, polish (not the sausage) up your spelling and we would be apt to cut you more slack

I still want to know what the 400 bls refers to. We figured out it's not 400 pounds so it must have something to do with your stereo.

(I get the extra alternator so you can disturb those around you with that incessant thumping. You know scientists have proven that repeated exposure to loud bass tones turns your brain to mush. Eventually. I'm just saying.......)

Default Weight is not always bad...well maybe it is

400lbs for stereo equipment I would have a hard time justifying. However, I have seen a few armored S8's and one armored C5 S6 and they were slick cars that handled their weight very nicely without too much modification besides the standard stuff you would do for any work of that type. The nicest part is that they were total Q Ships and unrecognizable for their modifications from the outside. Very clean jobs. Oh and significantly more than 400lbs.
