These any good or not? Do you like them?

>>28453641 (OP)
They're good.

>>28453641 (OP)
They make for a good locomotive.

>>28453641 (OP)
gotDAMN bruh dat shit zatarains red ahh beans n RICE on GODS f.a.m. fr fr 100% lmaooo

>>28453648
Picrel is the stock ride height and wheels of a 2001 vw s8, by the way

>>28453654
Looks better.

>>28453667
They both look bad for different reasons. The modified one looks fucking hilarious while the stock one looks goofy and does need a slight drop

Torsen center diff with a 40/60 f/r split. Probably good.

The old 4.2 V8 is a stout motherfucker, the zf shitpile autotranny not so.

>>28453672
You are the most irritating, autistic motherfucker and it's for the best you'll die a lonely catlady.

Never ask a kraut shill where his timing chain is or what material their cooling systems are made of.

>inb4 some German autists defends having their wallet raped

>>28453641 (OP)
I don't think the old timing belt/port injected audi V8s have any major issues and the unlike the RS6, the n/a motor in the S8 doesn't make enough torque to kill its transmission
they are surprisingly light too, due to the aluminum unibody

>>28453681
Kek cry beancounter pussy

>>28453641 (OP)
Ronin?

>>28453641 (OP)
vws are GAY as FUCK
Just get an E31 850CSi, E38 750i, E39 530i, LCI E90 M3 Competition or N54 335i. W124, W126, R129, W140, or W201 already godsDAMN

>>28453683
The auto boxes had a design/assembly flaw, but if you somehow manage to find a manual those have the legendary 01E that drag racers throw 600+hp through without any mods.

>>28453682
These old V8s have a timing belt.

>>28453693
Or an F10 M5 Competition then put in a built motor, upgraded turbos, cooling, and suspension since you're already trying to get a modified car

>>28453648
Are you suggesting only minorities drive this car

>>28453694
they didn't sell manuals in the US but people swap them a lot
there's a nice one for sale on autotrader right now lol

>>28453693
>muh gay

>>28453681
If you wanna bitch about these, bitch about the fact they eat coil packs or the intake manifold flap actuators that like to shit themselves.

Some car reviewer of the time said they were the best sport sedan no one ever heard of.

That said, as previously pointed out the ZF 5HP24 has a 100 percent failure rate of the "A" drum (picrel) in which it splits horizontally along the snap ring groove. On a positive note that means you probably won't find an A8 now that hasn't had that problem corrected. Well, except for the really low-mile examples that you would need to be looking for in order for the car to be worth anything at all.

Also, as previously mentioned they do have a problem with the 2-stage intake runner flap breaking, not just the actuator (though that too) and that does cause enough driveability problems that it has to be corrected which wasn't cheap back then when you could still get parts. It might not be fixable at all now due to no parts, don't know.

>>28453641 (OP)
i like how it looks but like all german cars the quality is bad

>>28454116
I wonder how viable it'd be to 3D print replacement flaps out of, say, glass fiber-filled nylon.

>>28453641 (OP)
I preferred the Mercedes in Ronin.

>>28454154
That is a properly gypsy car

Should i buy? I wanna croozemaxx

>>28454154
Something very fast. Audi S8. Something that can shove a little bit. I'm also gonna need a nitrous system.

>>28454828
Just get an S-Class already godsdamn

>>28454154
I would like these if they didnt have 3 front bumpers.
Its like the e90 bmw mustache, like off-putting car facial hair.

dunno if I'd say they're good, but i like the design era for audi and a few had some banger engines

>>28453648
>zatarains
trash taste. Vigo is way better

Definitely one of the best looking big body cars
