Is then any value in keeping your RS4 standard? Now its becoming rarer will values be hurt by modifying?

You could look at it differently.....

My car.... goes, stops and sounds better than it did when it was standard. As every modification is a tangible improvement......why would you pay more for less?

I can't answer weather my car will be worth more or less because I've modified it (I've done the usual stuff; ARB's, DTC, remap, Milltek, gutted pre-cats, short-shift, 8 pot Brembos, AWE boost gauge, after-run mod, and whatever else I've forgotten), but I do know I didn't buy it to sell it, I bought it to drive it, and it drives much better now than it did when it was standard.

HTH.

to have an rs4 and not mod it is just plain wrong !! in my book anyway !! as saf says mod it and enjoy it ! .... only downside to modding the rs... is it gets bloody addictive !! :biggrin2:

Definately needs modding. They are quite dull standard IMO.

modding is definitely the go but many buyers will always prefer an unmodded standard car that probably has been driven more lightly.

Well I'm glad to say after a vag-com sessions with Kieran it appears mines running at least 420bhp and is running very well. I thought it felt tight :) He's trying to convince me to sort out an 'autospeed.us' exhaust :boots:
