New car arrived.

FL RS7

Way too dirty to get decent pics. Terrible weather here at the moment.

Looks good, have you got any plans?

Not a huge fan of the puddle lights but regardless, are they not the wrong way round? Surely they should read right when you are about to get in the car?

Cheers

I always make mine parallel with the door but it's personal preference I guess.

Back in a big RS then? What made you pick this over another RS6? Lighter? Or just something different?

I didn’t realise you could move them. If I had them I would have them like you say or to read straight when the door is fully open.

Op, please turn yours so they read right when you are getting in

All but one set I've ever had have been fully adjustable. One set you could only move 90 degrees or so until I took it apart and turned it 180 degrees.

Thats a pic I found online. My lights run with the door.

Only about 30kg lighted than the RS6 so nothing in it really. I just like how they look. Fantastic value for money and quite a bit easier for the wife to navigate the car up through our archway into the drive. The RS6 with it’s flared arches makes a big difference.

Cancelled the GTR. Some changes at work in the very near future and did not want a £85k GTR sat on the drive, just in case.

As for my plans. Will go stage 1 and some wheel spacers and see from there.

Gone for DRC this time. Good bit harder than air but definitely corners flatter. Hard to tell how well it handles as it’s got P Zeros which I don’t like.

Forgot how crap these are on fuel. The F10 M5 was a good bit better.

looking forward to seeing the upgrades as always

Of course

I am looking forward to a spin in your RS4 once you get it more though

Will do if they ever open the order books again
Like wise in your RS7 with extra RSness

Yes any time.

Did a bit of logging last night. Crazy exit temps on stock 1.2bar of boost. Charge cooler does a good job of controlling the temps. Equally you can see how poor the stock intake is at keeping temps down. It was 2.5 degC last night and intake temps still around 20DegC. Need some mods I think.

Sorry for the small size. I am not a excel guru

What did you use to make the logs in the end?

VCDS. Sample rate is better with the new settings but still not great. Nailing it I 2nd gear its every 300rpm, in 3rd its every 100rpm so not too bad I suppose.

Here he goes ...
