[@toyo-z5d]

Great video 👍🏻🤘🏽💯

Your answers are a joy to listen to.

[@REPerformanceUK]

Thank you for watching

[@marcstreiff6067]

I just discovered your channel.. Brilliant insight into Audi world... I'm old school, 2004 B6 S4 & 2005 C5 allroad. Both were bought 8 & 7 yers ago respectively from previous ownership who cared bout maintenance & all. Currently speccing out the allroad's build list for the 2.7T & Yes the Tiptronic will be upgraded to a better slush box cable of handling 500+ hp / torque.. Being in Sepo Yanks land it is frustrating to see what the US DOT never allowed us to get......Cheers..

[@karlsumner5594]

Loving it! These are a great watch - thanks for posting them up.

[@REPerformanceUK]

Glad you like them! Thanks for watching

[@dennisreid4428]

What makes Carl happy? listening to all the crap cars you've owned. he nearly had a smile on his face

[@MBSJQ]

Great content as always bro

[@pinderwagen]

Dunno why, but I do enjoy your walkabout in the yard. Interesting to hear what you are doing with customer cars. You mentioned frame difference on the GT. Is that extra bracing, lighter or something else?

[@TheCerovec]

Friend of mine rolled his skoda 120 in to the field also,some random people helped him to flip it back on the wheels and he drove it to work the same day. It's was full of mud,but like really full of mud and he only broke the spoiler and that was it 😂 Now he got nostalgic and he's building another one with fabia engine.

[@tocsa120ls]

Thanks for the Gen1 GT explanation. I kinda get why they are still in the +100k range. Mate's not wrong about not f**ing with barnfinds unless you really really want that car. A buddy of mine found a 3.0 Granada Ghia that was parked with 47000km in a barn. Under a cover. It had one dull spot on the side where the sun shone on it for 30 years. Pulled the car out, new rubbers all around, resealed the engine and started using it as a weekender but there was a rhythmic thumping coming from the driveline. Rebuilt the tailshaft, new tailshaft bearing. Still thumping. Rebuilt the axles, new wheel bearings. Thump-thump. Rebuilt the gearbox. Nope. Pulled the rear axle and they found one half of the ring gear that was out of the oil rusted up.

[@Phillc748]

I had a mk5 golf tsi 170bhp. It had a rebuild by 50k under warranty so I get what you mean about piston eaters but I LOVED that car, it was amazing to drive

[@user-cb8ue5eq2s]

Will you ever do a full race prep video or winter strip down and rebuild on the R6 or Josh R1 just a insight in to the level of work that needs to go into bike raving?

[@alexbroadbent1300]

If my memory serves me correct Peter Cook (owner of J&S Accessories) used to own a white GT Coupe with the race pack, didn't buy it from us in Crewe but we used to look after it for him and I remember it having the kill switch on the scuttle. Boy used to run it hard as a track car

[@benndickenson7974]

nice to see you to see you ...nice... @rick..... grind off the top mate you will feel liberated, hit the gym and give Carl his own videographer your performance will increase.. Loving the vids, you lot make my day. In italy the wife would have full ownership... Excellent channel

[@tonyrobert4259]

Liked very much. Wish you were in Toronto Canada. B7 RS 4 owner.

[@johnnyballbag8916]

My first car was a Fiat Uno aswell. 1.1L in a sh1tty off white colour. Still remember the plate C999 UPJ. Jumped a bridge, ripped the fuel line which p1ssed all over the engine/exhaust and set the front alight. Engine cut out, I coasted to a halt, got out and watched my car burn until the fire brigade turned up. Got towed home by the old man with no front end on it and no brakes Good times

[@brymohan01]

Great Video... I have an RS3 and I enjoyed your build videos. maybe one video can be aimed at common fault codes.

[@todellery9760]

Use car vertical to see. Where bank last. Serviced or mot ‘ If they do bikes Great channel 😊😊

[@steffydog]

Cheers Kate and all, great video as always, thank you 👍

[@REPerformanceUK]

Our pleasure! Glad you enjoyed it.

[@Neil_Brewer]

Any luck with the black R8 with the misfire? Could it be a snapped valve spring?

[@Andy.001.]

There was more over taking In the last BSB race than in a whole season of F1..

[@neilbathe7752]

Great episode - really love the walk around, but love even more Karl the "realistic" staff! I do really enjoy the engine shed work - but appreciate that you feel it could get monotonous for viewers. Personally I loved content from Subi Performance when he uploaded in English, as it was a similar level of precision engineering, measurement, checking, measuring, rebuilding, torquing, measuring, repeat... My recollection of his skills with sealant make me cringe when I see other channels use it like bathroom silicone applied through a fire hose...

[@kansum3326]

Mmm that Scooby is worth a few bob in the UK too, 25-30k if it's a runner

[@raykaufman7156]

The alternator probably won't work on a dead bump start because it needs a reference voltage to excite the field winding before it will start charging.

[@neilwiltshire7345]

Interesting and informative as ever. Keep up the good work guys.

[@REPerformanceUK]

Much appreciated! Thanks for watching.

[@ianb768]

Hi Ricky, great channel, so easy to watch. Question, what's the easiest way to check if an R8 has been clocked? I've been told, best way is with OBD tool, but how expensive a tool do you need if that's true?

[@TheLeeattwood]

Good finger work. Very interesting about the GT

[@nickmurray721]

Be interesting to know your thoughts on the difference air temperature makes either performance of a turbo

[@GazMoby]

Hi love your chanel one of my favourite channels on KZbin I've got a question for the master engine builder will a rs4 b7 engine fit on vw zf 8 speed gearbox if it won't how would I get it too really appreciate your input on this one much appreciated keep up the good work ❤

[@wqr5gne1]

Hi Ricky. Thank you for answering my question about the bump start. I have another question: Can you remap an r tronic gearbox to make it shift faster? If its possible, are there any drawbacks?

[@The_Devil_Riser]

I once saw a bmw m4 get crashed on Manington round about 😂 his talent ran out where the kerb/bush began

Question for you as you spoke about bikes, I am looking at getting a new sport/super bike with £8k budget. You seem really knowledgable, what would you for? Been looking at a blade sp 2017

[@bgj2940]

4:20 Johnathan is selling his Samoa Orange R8 GT. It will be on Bring a Trailer very very soon. Keep an eye out. The only issue is it's a US car so it does not have the true bucket seats. It might be listed with the McLaren Senna seats though, not sure if hes going to take those out.

[@dirtygrill]

US R8 market is like 2-3x more expensive than the UK market.

[@bgj2940]

@@dirtygrill 100% the UK folks don't value these at all. Crazy, especially when you consider the huracan market.

[@dirtygrill]

@@bgj2940 most cat values in the UK are depressed. Especially LHD European cars as the Japanese stuff picks up as soon as it can be exported to NA. Can't complain really, I have a V10 R8 whereas if I was still living in the US I'd struggle to afford a Golf R. 😂

What's the ball park figure for a engine rebuild on a b5 RS 6 Avant ?, Basically I'm looking for the car now & I would like to know what budget I need for a totally standard spec motor.

[@alwhite270]

Question if I may. I really wanted a v10 rs6 but I’ve actually been put off by watching your content. Is an S8 5.2 equally as bad for repairs and common issues ?

Question: Should i sell my 1299S and buy an RSV4 RF. want to do some track days

[@SH-ONE]

Hi Ricky. Question: I want to buy an R8. Is there a way to know if a car has been tracked and if so, will that mean the car is worn out (engine wise), or can they handle being driven hard regularly? I have no idea how to find out whether a car has been looked after to treated poorly. Can you comment on how to think about this?

[@louieperez806]

Hello Ricky, what do you think of the Gen1.2 R8 Competition?

Quick question, what do I do with a stock exhaust that I replaced? Does anyone buy those?

[@firebladelover7]

You might rag on Honda's,but they are innovators and better built than yamahas, and old Honda's are starting to cost the earth. Don't know why you hate Honda's, early Fireblades 1992 to 1997are awesome, 2001 to 2007 are awesome. And the new blade 2021 on unreal road bikes and that just blades. Rc30/Rc45. Sp1/Sp2. Nc30/Nc35. NR750.Rc213 vs. Cbr 600 rr. That's just my favourite. No one can deny how good these bikes are.
