glowing manifold?
 

just been watching this video on you tube (its not of an audi) but i was wondering if all cars do this with the exhaust manifolds?

:eek:

heres another turbo this time .. :yikes: lol

Not surprised with the Ford 6, brilliant engine:smilewinkgrin:
I'd take the XR6T over the XR8 any day... I may have lost you with that, but I'm sure there are a few BA (04?) Falcons in the UK:confused:

My Alfa boxer would have the headers glowing after a spirited drive, and the flatmates 2L Alfetta gets a healthy glow on after a good squirt:nod:

You can get this to happen on most all cars simply by holding the revs up on the rolling road and applying a heavy load to the wheels, rather like driving up a long hill.
Soon makes em glow cherry red.

Back in the early 90's I took my old GT to Southern Germany and Switzerland. One night stopped for Petrol outside Ulm, having spent a straight hour at over 120mph, popped the bonnet and under the inlet manifold was exactly that.... Looked like a bar fire sat there.

Here's an old pic I found of Steve T63's turbo on his S2 after a short stint around Nottinghamshire..... Not good qualty as i took on my OLD Nokia phone but you get the point!

A few nights later we went a nip out in the RS4 my compnay had - here's the front discs - the rears were same too!!

Used to get the front discs dlowing on me old GT in the mad bad old days.....then on the journey from one pub to the next, we'd stop and pee on em.........I know sorry but it was in the very early naughty nineties.

That's the old school method of hot axle box detection on trains... Doesn't really fit into 2009's society though.

I can remember coming home a couple nights with the rotors glowing.
Naughty monkeys, my bro and I.
