To all A5 ( S-Line Package or not ) owners out there.. watch out when driving hard, cornering and hitting those brakes FAST!! Your vehicle comes equipped with very soft springs in the front which CAN and WILL bottom you out due to vehicle’s low clearance and potentially damage your OEM plastic skid plate which WILL result in destroying your oil-pam and loosing pressure fast. This has happened to me when going 80-90mph on highway..!! I suggest you replace those springs immediately or report it to Audi.

Nice color! Let me know if you are able to fix the ‘speed limiter’ in your car, I got a 2008 full equipped A5 in black/cinamon and I love it but I hate it when around 129mph the car slows down. How about that exhaust system? did you gain any HP??

Thanks

Very nice car, Ryan. I look forward to seeing what mods you have planned for the future.

Thanks for all the great comments guys. The car is great but like every car I own, I don't let them stay around for long but there are still some more mods to come for this car!

Ryan - the easiest way to get rid of that pesky limiter is to get your ECU reprogrammed. REVO, Unitronic, GIAC, APR, etc etc etc will all boost power a bit as well as remove the top speed limiter

bumped the vmax on my 5cyl Jetta from 130 (indicated, limited) to 141 (indicated, aerodynamically and power limited)

There is something about the shape of these cars that really appeals to me. Looks like you had alot of fun! Was it the V8 version?

Ryan,
Closed roads....LOL...OK I believe you! Congrats on the new ride, Audi's are sweet rides! My son works for Audi and I get to drive all the new ones (and I don't even have to buy them!...but I also can't keep them....rats!!!)
Good Luck with the new ride!

Ryan,
I'm jealous. Your new Audi is absolutely stunning - and, from what you say, the beauty is more than skin deep. Unreal.

(on closed roads of course) so Ryan how much of that statement is true??? And yes i agree that the 130MPH limiter needs fixing, specially with that car. Then after its fixed see how fast the car will go (on closed roads of course)
