Found your channel recently because it popped up on my YT suggestions. Really appreciate your under-stated approach (many people doing supercar vid's make a big song and dance about it and you don't), the humour and good natured banter with your colleagues in the shop. I'm not into Audi, Lambo and similar - classic Japanese is more my thing - but I really enjoy your content and have subscribed. Cheers.
Superbike build gets my vote especially if we get to see a standard motor become a fettled fire breathing tyre shredder.......... I'm here for all things 'Tech Porn' and for a laugh - Carl dropping dry comments always gets a chuckle.
Would be good to see you build a Superbike. But also how about a race day vid next year so we can all see what you get up to Rick as for me, I like that behind the scenes stuff.
M8 i think u need to stick to you being you and ur business FULL SEND, SO i found u guys thru matt but ur vid style and workshop humour has kept me watching each week.
Really enjoyed your bike build videos from earlier in the year, more of those would be good. Assume not much prep on your bike to do for next season? Pi@@ing myself at the ATR/CTR bit 😂😂
Hello, great video as always, keep up the good work. My question is: I have a 2020 stage 2 RS3, it does this weird thing where is slightly pulls left and the power is very slightly reduced, only for a second or 2. It seems to do it at the same place/time after startup. Is there some sort of weird haldex calibration it does or something? I am running the staggered wheel/tyre setup, but with PS4s, so 255-40-19 on the front and 235-45-19 on the rear. I have a suspicion it could be something to do with this. I have heard it is best to switch to 235-45-19 all round if using any other tyre than the Pirelli from factory. The tyres have been on for about 6,000 miles now and no issues with uneven wear, And all other times it drives spot on. No pulling etc. Cheers, Colin Manson
Questions: what oil do you put into the diffs? Is it different for track use as apposed to road use? How often should you replace the diff oil for track and road use? Do you use any specialist lube (keep it clean) in other parts i.e. CV joints, UJs etc for track use?
Ricky, can you do an episode on your journey to where you are today? I'd be interested how you have gained a wealth of knowledge in VAG cars etc. Keep up the vids 👍
Question. Golf R blue smoke on start up, building a video diary of it puffing on cold starts to show the dealer it is not a one off. Any thoughts, forums suggest PCV or valve stem seals are potentially the culprits causing it?
Could you discuss some of the major differences between the Gen 1 and Gen 2 V10 cars. I have a Gen 1 V10 Plus and wondering the major changes in the engine and gearbox mainly. Really enjoying the content. Thanks.
Hi Ricky. I'm a big fan of your work. I have a question: During your R8 V8 buyers guide video, you mentioned to check the pull catches on a regular basis so that you can open the frunk if the battery dies. Is it not possible to bump start the car (dumping the clutch while being pushed) if the battery dies or would that damage the front diff?
Question, R8 gen1 front diff failures, reasons why they fail and do you fit a brand new replacement from Audi or rebuild the old diff with new bearings and what oil do you recommend to run in the diff ? Many thanks
Questions - Ricky , looking at buying a r8 v10 plus around a 2018 what’s to look out for in regards to issues ? Best warranty company to use and finally service costs are they high ? Thanks for you time await your reply 👍🏻
Hi Ricky, what's the story with the Subaru Impreza in the car park? Feels like it's probably something one of the boys bought and never got around to fixing! Cheers, Mark
I'd like to vote for a short series of videos showing how uprated parts go into the bottom end of a McLaren 4.0l. How to build an uprated head for same. Or a deep dive into building a McLaren transmission with Dodson parts. I'd pay to see that lot.
Where do babies come from? Seriously though, what's the mechanics of increasing timing in terms of both more power and higher chance of detonation/pre-ignition. For new content it would be good to see a resurrection job - maybe a Noble lol?
B5 RS4. I have heard that the sodium filled exhaust valves can fail with the valve heads falling off. True? I would like to know as I have had one for 22 years and it has now done 102,000 miles. Should I be feeling nervous??
Soo Rick, I have a 8U rsq3 5cyl, it sounds like there’s an old man groaning under/inside glovebox occasionally-suspect air conditioning valve? Any ideas? Keep it up mate, very good channel 👍
Question 😃 Is it true that using oiled aftermarket air filters like K&Ns can cock up your MAF wires by caking them in a mist of nebulised oil droplets, or is that just Internet bollocks? Cheers!
A simple yes / no answer to the question: can you promise never to call a bike a "motorcycle", as the word just makes me want to slit my own throat? Would love to see some barn-finds on the channel. Take Karl along to lighten the mood...
Question for Techno ...Techno...Tuesday. Just had my ZF 8 speed trans serviced on my Audi S5 at 48k by ZF appoved centre. Audi don't have this on a service interval...why?
When Mitch said he's technically 29.. I have heard the argument that people count there age from when they were conceived.. so they add the 9 months they were in the womb to there age..my grandfather used to do it.
Hi Rick have you ever owned a gen 1 and if so what was the spec (I think I know of your red and blue gen two’s) but you didn’t talk much about one of them on the channel What’s a list of the worst jobs to do on a gallardo/huracan/gen1 gen2 r8? And other than max armstrong have you done any work for any other famous people? P.s Can I have one of your project cars you save from the scrappies 😂 All the best 👍🏼
More questions please and more hands on showing stuff, tips and tricks, how to's and detailed rebuilds etc, correcting mistakes, what to watch out for etc, the just update stuff gets a bit boring without any real information or useful takeaways from the video - oh look we have a car here, oh look we have 5 gearboxes, oh look we have 3 engines, doesn't give a lot you know? Just my two cents.
I've got a mk1 golf with a 16v on twin 45 webbers,I've got 3k of parts for it and 5k to spend on it I your interested ( no welding required) ? Can pay in gold sovereigns 🤫
Great video. And Mitch, if you're not crashing, you're not pushing... as Ricky well knows! Embrace it :) Q1: What are the top five things that 'great' mechanics do that 'good' mechanics (or DIY'ers) miss / fail to do? Q2: The last two bikes I've owned ('13 CBR600RR & '14 Daytona 675r) had copper grease on the caliper bolts (!) and I've also seen this over the years on cars I've replaced brake pads on. Am I right in thinking that this is a crazy thing to do? I always clean the threads and use Loctite on my MX bike (KTM 250 SX-F) because that's what KTM does as standard... but copper grease? Arnold Schwarzenegger, Billy Bolt, Mat Armstrong, Margaret Thatcher, DDE, #clickbait th-cam.com/video/bVn7sLDhZBw/w-d-xo.html
The more I watch this channel which I love its enough to make you steer well clear of these over engineered piece's of German crap that are called AUDI.
I have a 2001 dodge viper huge spec , twin turbo, line bored block wot bier caps , made 1000hp when mapped by Carl Norris , ran 200mph in a standing mile, but stood for 5years in a dehumidified garage, time I would love to resurrect it …… you might be interested for your channel?
If your thinking of building a super bike why not build one of the new pathway bikes much cheaper. As mcanns not running next year will omg be the works Yamaha team.
Are you allowed to say who the good warranty companies are? Or are they all c*ap? I had them not pay out on a claim and for the non industry people, this can be a minefield.
More of the Noble been rebuilt/build please - great videos - always a busy day !
Think it’s a big job sell it and do something with just engine work.
A super bike build would be cool.

Awesome, thank you!
Ok, new segment idea: Karl's Kold Klose.
That last spot was HILARIOUS! 😆
Superbike build gets my vote especially if we get to see a standard motor become a fettled fire breathing tyre shredder..........
I'm here for all things 'Tech Porn' and for a laugh - Carl dropping dry comments always gets a chuckle.
Hi Rick where did you learn to tune the cars or did you teach your self
Thanks mark
I knew exactly what ATR was, and you need to do a video on it.
Proper motor 😁
11:40 I think you should do one "click bait" video as a spoof 😂😂. It would be hilarious! And might possibly get more subscribers.
Would be good to see you build a Superbike. But also how about a race day vid next year so we can all see what you get up to Rick as for me, I like that behind the scenes stuff.
M8 i think u need to stick to you being you and ur business
FULL SEND,
SO i found u guys thru matt but ur vid style and workshop humour has kept me watching each week.
Thanks for watching.
Keep doing what your doing always interesting factual funny and see work on cars most people would never see
Really enjoyed your bike build videos from earlier in the year, more of those would be good. Assume not much prep on your bike to do for next season?
Pi@@ing myself at the ATR/CTR bit 😂😂
Very enjoyable as always 👍
Thank you.

I’ve asked before and I’ll ask again, what’s the crack with the STI type R in the corner?
Can we have more noble content plz? Loving the idea of a bike build! What about a spin off bike channel?
So hyped for barn fInd stuff!
Car or bike,I’m down with either, I’m a retired VW/Audi tech and still ride a sport bike.
Would love both or either of the Fizzy and/or the super bike... Bit worried the super bike would be a crate engine and "just" assembly...
Same here - I would love the sueperbike build if we get to see the engine build.
I want to see you fix a Broken McLaren and build the Superbike, but don't forget the Noble 🙂
Question. Golf R blue smoke on start up, building a video diary of it puffing on cold starts to show the dealer it is not a one off. Any thoughts, forums suggest PCV or valve stem seals are potentially the culprits causing it?
Tech Q. What are the differences between the CZGA and CZGB engines and does this affect tuning options and power outputs? TY.
As your channel grows you will get people going back through all your videos even the ones that tanked at the time
Loving this channel
Great work guys , your very unique content is addictive!!
Thanks so much! Glad you’re enjoying it.
Rick what is the single best upgrade you’d do on the R1 2cr brakes?
Could you discuss some of the major differences between the Gen 1 and Gen 2 V10 cars. I have a Gen 1 V10 Plus and wondering the major changes in the engine and gearbox mainly.
Really enjoying the content. Thanks.
How about a Nissan pulsar? I’ve one I’ve most of the bits to get it back together. Life’s just getting in the way of finishing it.
A GTI-R Pulsar Stephen? 😈
@@REPerformanceUK yes lots of nice bits on it, used to be my track toy. Video of it going bang is on here lol.
@@Stephenc4877drop me an email with details on mate. Ricky@reperformance.co.uk
Great vids as usual 💯💯💯
Question. I have a RS3 8Y and want to know if it’s worth installing catch cans to minimise carbon build up? Love the content btw.
Hi Ricky. I'm a big fan of your work. I have a question:
During your R8 V8 buyers guide video, you mentioned to check the pull catches on a regular basis so that you can open the frunk if the battery dies.
Is it not possible to bump start the car (dumping the clutch while being pushed) if the battery dies or would that damage the front diff?
Can we see more of the Lads again please Brill
Question, R8 gen1 front diff failures, reasons why they fail and do you fit a brand new replacement from Audi or rebuild the old diff with new bearings and what oil do you recommend to run in the diff ?
Many thanks
Another great video, happy with bike or car here. Keep well guys 👍
Techie question! What in the mag ride units fail? Seals? The welds? Do they only last *so* long? Enjoy the nerdy knowledge 👍🏻👍🏻
What’s the plans for the three door Subaru tucked away in the corner of the car park ?
Bike build would be ace 👍
Hi Rik
Is it possible to replace nearside gearbox halfshaft bearings without removing the gearbox.
Gen 1 R8.
Steve Gee.
Questions -
Ricky , looking at buying a r8 v10 plus around a 2018 what’s to look out for in regards to issues ? Best warranty company to use and finally service costs are they high ?

Hi Ricky, what's the story with the Subaru Impreza in the car park? Feels like it's probably something one of the boys bought and never got around to fixing! Cheers, Mark
Would be great to see you do a bike video
mate...the sunnys 🙈😎
I wear them to try and keep the combover in place! 😂
Enjoying the car common fault reveals Rick.. do the odd bike vid, stick to the cars mostly, imo.. good Q&A show 👍🏼
Why not do a 2nd channel for the bikes I have bikes myself but I watch your channel for the car stuff
I'd like to vote for a short series of videos showing how uprated parts go into the bottom end of a McLaren 4.0l. How to build an uprated head for same. Or a deep dive into building a McLaren transmission with Dodson parts. I'd pay to see that lot.
Can you show your favourite tools and why
Whats with that Subaru 22B? 😎
Where do babies come from? Seriously though, what's the mechanics of increasing timing in terms of both more power and higher chance of detonation/pre-ignition. For new content it would be good to see a resurrection job - maybe a Noble lol?

Keep it up mate, very good channel 👍
Good to mix up cars and bike I think lol
I've got a question. on the 5.2 v10's what's the difference between a BXA and a BSM engine? also a series on building a superbike, would be mint!
The tune, engine mount brackets and a couple of coolant hoses. Other than that, they’re exactly the same.
Question for next week Ricky, Can you recommend a beard trimmer and is yours broken? 😜
Question 😃
Is it true that using oiled aftermarket air filters like K&Ns can cock up your MAF wires by caking them in a mist of nebulised oil droplets, or is that just Internet bollocks?
Cheers!

I would love to see some technical engine stuff that i could do to get power out of a na engine
When Mitch said he's technically 29.. I have heard the argument that people count there age from when they were conceived.. so they add the 9 months they were in the womb to there age..my grandfather used to do it.
I should of said that lol but it's because I'm 30 this month
Would that American YT Channel be DDE by any chance?
Hi Rick have you ever owned a gen 1 and if so what was the spec (I think I know of your red and blue gen two’s) but you didn’t talk much about one of them on the channel
What’s a list of the worst jobs to do on a gallardo/huracan/gen1 gen2 r8?
And other than max armstrong have you done any work for any other famous people?
P.s Can I have one of your project cars you save from the scrappies 😂
All the best 👍🏼
More questions please and more hands on showing stuff, tips and tricks, how to's and detailed rebuilds etc, correcting mistakes, what to watch out for etc, the just update stuff gets a bit boring without any real information or useful takeaways from the video - oh look we have a car here, oh look we have 5 gearboxes, oh look we have 3 engines, doesn't give a lot you know?

subaru in yard 🧐🧐🧐
Bike here you can build. Not usual stuff either. Cult classic superbike. Rusty tank, injectors and fuel lines. . .
I've got a mk1 golf with a 16v on twin 45 webbers,I've got 3k of parts for it and 5k to spend on it I your interested ( no welding required) ? Can pay in gold sovereigns 🤫
❤
Some more rs6 😂
Crack me up. 😂
Tune a FS1E......
Bikes bikes bikes
Hey came for bikes cars ok😂
Let's start a Karl fan club, his misery is hilarious.
Your best Name drop Jesus works here !!!!!!
Great video. And Mitch, if you're not crashing, you're not pushing... as Ricky well knows! Embrace it :)

You in the UK? Definitely!!
Stick a v8 or v10 into an Octavia or something 😅
Is the RS6 owner interested in selling? 😁
You need to sort out the camera work!
Question for ya lads, How does the rolling machine get calibrated and how do you know if its not running right? Rob
If your thinking of building a super bike why not build one of the new pathway bikes much cheaper. As mcanns not running next year will omg be the works Yamaha team.
Dont forget about saving parked BIKES.
Those of us who "get it" can see your passion for 2 wheel stuff. Analytics arent everything...
Don't be shitting on the ATR's now. They're a much loved bus.
What i am hearing from this video is don't get a convertible R8!
First !!!😂
Are you allowed to say who the good warranty companies are? Or are they all c*ap? I had them not pay out on a claim and for the non industry people, this can be a minefield.
Bikes are boring.
