Default Audi S8

This one is kinda a weird one, China is slowly picking up regarding automotive aftermarket, there are some really nice ones, but they are all in bigger cities, so we had a call with a guy asking for an EVO12 kit for his Audi S8, and asked for one of our own mech to come in and do the install.

We are like, ok, where is it? it turns out to be quite the inland area and the owner was quite an interesting one.

We sent the mech in with all the tools + computers for drawing brackets, and 3 days later, voila.

When you are willing to pay everything shipped overnight! basically they took the bracket off and measure it, send the file in, we make the bracket, rotor hats, and got 'em done, the shipping charges was pretty impressive to say the least.

hmmm, thats pretty cool. I know my brother was looking into some brake upgrades for his '00 S4. I believe he already has the brembo calipers but is looking for brackets and some upgraded rotors.

Wow, that is VERY impressive.

I don't want to think of the costs.

its not that bad, last time I went to Shanghai you'd blend right in with one, but this guy is in the inland, like REAL inland, now, that's hardcore.

Speaking of gangsta, I recall I visited China in the early 2000's, it was a business trip with my father, and that's when alot of HK triad started to develop right pass HK, we were driving towards Macau for the fun of it, and you get off the hwy ($40 for toll!) and you suddenly see a tiny resturant with Maybach, Jags, Ferrari, Lambo parked in front of it, needless to say, we didn't go in there.

You shou'dve taken a few pics, shouted some words into a cellphone, and thrown a smoke grenade.
