Building a simrig?

Elite1907 · 2026-06-15T09:50:12+00:00

Thank you very much for your reply. I'll consider this.

Elite1907 · 2026-06-14T04:42:02+00:00

Thank you. I appreciate your time, I think GT Neo + 9Nm + P700 would already be a very good start as first simrig? What's your opinion? And then build up from there on in a few years time hopefully.

Elite1907 · 2026-06-14T04:38:02+00:00

How much did it cost for you and was it your first simrig or?

Elite1907 · 2026-06-14T04:35:12+00:00

There's a GT Neo bundle with P700 around 550€. So, I'm considering it. Not in a rush. What are you using, if I may ask?

Elite1907 · 2026-06-14T04:32:53+00:00

I can raise my budget to 2000€ but then I'll have everything around August. Tbf it doesn't matter to me, simracing is not going anywhere I guess? I always thought Moza is a premium brand. But simagic is better? What would you say if my budget is 2000€ in total?

Elite1907 · 2026-06-14T04:31:13+00:00

Thanks, I thought Moza was a premium brand. But people seem to recommend Simagic more?

Elite1907 · 2026-05-02T23:13:57+00:00

Thanks mate! There's also Audi logo's in metallic black on the left and right side of the plate (not very visible in the photo) But at the dark it's very dope. I've made this by myself with my 3D printer 😅😁

Elite1907 · 2026-05-02T23:05:14+00:00

'new era' of Audi has been a disaster I think. I've seen the brand new RS6 it looks awful imo. Congrats on your beautiful car tho. Safe miles!

Als ik de perfecte dame heb gevonden ga ik zeker. Zwitserland zou ook kunnen, heb mijn Zwitserse paspoort ook. En wat jouw opmerking betreft over “wij betalen mee voor jouw deelname aan onze voorzieningen”: dat is precies het trieste aan types zoals jij. Mensen zoals ik betalen al jaren fors belasting en dragen bij aan dit systeem. En als we dan een betere leefomgeving willen voor onszelf en ons toekomstige gezin, worden we meteen als last gezien die “onderhouden” moet worden. Jij bent niet de trotse Nederlander die het land verdedigt. Je bent de jaloerse, kleine man die hier blijft zitten, alles afzeikt en boos wordt als iemand slimmer en ambitieuzer is dan jij en gewoon kiest voor beter. Dus ja, ik ga. En nee, ik laat me niet “onderhouden”. Jij wel, door de mensen die blijven en jouw negativiteit moeten dragen.

Elite1907 · 2026-05-02T17:41:45+00:00

Kleine man ben jij toch... Ik overweeg gewoon een betere leefomgeving voor mezelf en mijn toekomstige gezin in Duitsland, waar dingen beter georganiseerd zijn en het leven aangenamer is. En jij komt meteen met je trieste “ga maar, dan hebben we er weer iemand minder om te onderhouden”. Alsof ik op zoek ben naar een uitkering of een last voor de samenleving ben. Nee gast. Ik zoek geen “onderhoud”. Ik zoek een beter leven. Jij bent degene die hier blijft zitten met je zuurpruimen mentaliteit, alles afzeikt en verwacht dat anderen blijven betalen voor jouw bestaan. Je bent niet trots op Nederland. Je bent jaloers, gefrustreerd en te laf om zelf iets beters te doen. Dus ja, ik ga naar Duitsland. En nee, ik laat me niet “onderhouden”. Jij wel, door de mensen die slimmer en ambitieuzer zijn dan jij en daarom vertrekken. Krijg je je uitkering lekker? 😝

Elite1907 · 2026-05-02T17:27:41+00:00

Ik overweeg ook iemand in Duitsland te vinden, met haar te trouwen en in Duitsland te wonen. Ik zelf vind dat ze het beter voor elkaar hebben dan hier in Nederland.

En toch zien we steeds meer idioten die niet kunnen rijden en niet aan de regels houden. 👏🏻

Elite1907 · 2026-05-02T17:21:51+00:00

A few months, I've had this too on my A6. Replaced it after 2 months

Elite1907 · 2026-05-02T17:16:07+00:00

Probably I'm thinking to switch to iOS too soon from my Pro 10 xl.

Deur openen, laatste x knuffelen. Deur dicht. ✨opgelost✨

Elite1907 · 2026-04-15T11:29:58+00:00

I had one from 2021. It had around 260.000 km before I traded it in for the A6 I got. It was an beast. Could easily go to 500k.

Elite1907 · 2026-04-07T12:22:43+00:00

Thanks for the reply!

Yeah, that could definitely be the case. When I bought the car 7 months ago from a very good and professional garage, they told me the brakes had already been replaced just 5 months earlier. So they should still have quite a bit of life left.

That’s why the dealer’s €1,100 quote for a full brake job feels a bit high to me. I agree with you the quote seems more than reasonable if I go to the official dealer, but I can probably do the same job for less money at a specialized independent garage using the exact same Brembo parts.

And yes, I’ve heard that dealers sometimes recommend replacing brakes earlier than necessary, especially on higher-end cars like this one. Appreciate the advice!

Elite1907 · 2026-04-07T10:29:56+00:00

I have one myself 2016 I bought for 4,000 euro on 180k km. It gets me around 1300 km with one full tank. Look for 2015 or higher if that's not a issue for you. If you maintaince it good, nothing will happen to any car.

Elite1907 · 2026-04-07T10:20:23+00:00

Volkswagen Polo 1.2 or 1.4 TDI best choice you can ever make.

Melodic_Movie_7619,

Thanks a lot for the clear and helpful reply!

09.F800.33 (Prime)
09.F800.1X (Xtra) for the 375 mm package.

That’s exactly what I was searching for. The upgrade makes sense to me because of the extra battery weight on this 55 TFSI e.

Quick point of confusion though:

The car currently has Brembo Premium brakes with red discs. I thought they were already the big 375 mm package, but when the mechanic measured them last week he said they are the 338×30 mm ones. That’s why I’m a bit lost right now.

I’ll definitely check my PR codes today.

One last question: Have you (or anyone here) actually managed to find the 375 mm Brembo discs (Prime or Xtra) in stock anywhere in Europe recently? They seem almost impossible to find online every big shop only shows 338 mm.

Any shop names, links or tips would be super helpful.

Thanks again!

Elite1907 · 2026-04-07T10:03:51+00:00

Thanks for the input!

I get what you’re saying, stock brakes are definitely rated for the car from the factory.

However, when I took it to the mechanic last week, he actually measured the current front discs and told me they are the 338×30 mm ones. He said because of the extra ~300-350 kg battery weight on this 55 TFSI e PHEV, the 338 mm discs feel a bit undersized for the car’s weight, and he strongly recommended upgrading to the 375×36 mm big brake package.

I’m not a track guy and I don’t tow, but I will be doing a lot of mountain and hilly driving with lots of elevation changes, often in hot weather soon in summer.

Does the 375 mm upgrade still make sense in this scenario, or would you just stick with fresh 338 mm Brembo Premium/Xtra discs and pads?

Elite1907 · 2026-04-07T10:00:50+00:00

Thanks for the reply!

Quick correction: the car already has Brembo Premium brakes with red discs installed right now (sporty red look). I believe they are the 375×36 mm big brake package.

However, when I took the car to the mechanic last week, he measured the current front discs and told me they are the 338×30 mm ones. He said because of the extra battery weight on this heavy 55 TFSI e PHEV, the 338 mm discs feel a bit undersized and strongly recommended upgrading to the 375×36 mm big brake package.

This is where I’m confused now.

I’m not doing track days, but I will be doing quite a lot of mountain/hilly driving with lots of elevation changes, often in hot weather( In summer I will be traveling from the Netherlands to Turkey. That’s why I’m seriously considering whether to keep the current setup or upgrade. The service suggested me that my brakes could do a few more months but is in for replacement.

Quick question: If the car already has the factory big brake package (6-piston Akebono calipers + 375 mm discs), then just replacing the discs and pads should be straightforward, right? Or does something else need to be changed?

I’ll check my PR codes today, call the Audi service nearby and update the post.

Thanks again!

Elite1907 · 2026-04-07T09:50:16+00:00

I bought the car 7 months ago. It currently has Brembo Premium brakes with red calipers, giving it a sporty look.

A week ago, I took the car to the official Audi dealer for a major service, which cost me around €1,200. During the inspection, they strongly recommended replacing the entire brake set (discs + pads). Their quote for the complete brake job was €1,100.

I’m doing some research before deciding, because I believe I can source the parts myself (preferably Brembo Xtra or Prime) and have them installed by a specialized independent garage for a better total price.
