Since i couldnt find an audi airbag for almost a year now, i decided to get a golf 6 gti airbag which is the same from the back in my opinion ! Everyone said it cant be done yadda yatta yadda, its dangerous you can blow yourself up, static build up can trigger the explosive charge etc.

but i went ahead anyway.

The golf 6 airbag and the audi airbag cover

Then i took it apart ! i didnt blow myself up in the process yay ! i made sure i had an anti static brace on just incase

then put everything back together again

looks legit

and Done Tadaaaa !

Tickets for the Kyalami 9 Hour Intercontinental GT Challenge race in November are now available:

http://www.kyalami9hour.com/

Various types of General Access tickets seem pretty reasonably priced. Things get a little steep when you go to the VIP/Hospitality tickets. Looks like they’re also planning some camping facilities as well which could be interesting. Price of that is still TBC though.

So car is in for the following

Induction Kit
De-cat
Performance rear exhaust
Mapping

Can’t wait to get it back.

On another note, this weekends racing was fun.
Had a strange fall, was just off the line and bit too hard on the front brake. Someone else said there was a something on the track, but I did not see anything.

Are you ok? Did you hurt anything?

hahaha I am 100%. That is a routine fall :stuck_out_tongue: There were probably 5 other crashes in that lap.
Luckily all the gear and protection on the bike does its job very well.
Picked the bike back up and caught up to a few guys again

BUGATTI Chiron breaks through magic 300 mph barrier.

So got my car back…
This thing is going to get me into so much trouble.

With the induction kit and dump valve it sounds like a snake is trying to eat you every time you lift off the throttle

Richard Hammond and James May get Seb Vettel to decide which car he would prefer to take for a drive: Hammond’s much loved 1963 Opel Kadett “Oliver” (that he bought in Joburg for the Top Gear Botswana special) or May’s “orange” Ferrari 458 Speciale.

Due to the fact that i had major issues winding back the piston when i changed the rear brakes last, i have decided to replace everything with new parts this time. New pads, discs as well as new calipers which i imported from china that ended up costing half the price compared to their cost locally

Noice!!! $$$?

not alot spent, the rear brakes only account for 25-30% of the total braking system of the vehicle so i dont bother going premium on the rear, the discs and pads were about R1000 and the calipers ended up costing just about 2k for both shipped to my door, wereas goldwagen wanted R2200 per caliper and the audi agents were smoking green stuff asking close to 4k per caliper
