My Rs4 Project

[Rick_RS4]

Have you performed a 3rd gear 3k-8krpm WOT run?

yes

What's the result, how many seconds?

roughly 7 seconds? does this seem right? taken from the timestamp

Looking good Rick, cant beat the nice moody council garages, I used to keep my RS4 in one when at my old place.

Stealth

I really like it alot

Do you have a before log as the intake temp is very very low which will skew the results.

max i saw was 31, it was 12-16 befre the max 170 g/s that was lastnights run,

last time i logged it was 159.72 g/s with inlet temps 23 and AAT 28.

what blocks do you log when out?

thats pretty much bang on - about a 20c difference is give or take 7-8% more dense and you've got a 7% increase in air mass.

done a couple of small things today,

first i wrapped the numberplate surround (black ofcourse) not a fan of unpainted plastic on bumpers etc.

and secondly i fitted LED numberplate lights , i bought some 9 led festoon bulbs and fitted them non canbus, the bulb holder looks too small an area really for hot resistors so i opted for a seperate resistor, i wired the resistor in and fitted it behind the trim panel in the boot, job done, look so much fresher now.

pics of these tomorrow

Does look the dogs all in black - love it! It reminds me of KITT - no offence intended - I just love the look-liked KITT too lol!

i ordered a couple of badges to revert back to chrome,



the pic below from top to bottom

Front grill rings
front grill rings
Rear rings A8
Rear rings RS4

A8 s are slightly larger, part numbers if anyone wants them

no pics on the car as it was nearly dark.


oh and to get the front badge off you dont have to remove the bumper, you can just squeeze a finger behind to move the tabs behind, whilst pulling from the front.

just a couple of pics since the height has been sorted out





i decided to give the old gal a polish last week


started off washing the car, wheels off etc, then poorboys clay bar and quick detailer, followed by poorboys black hole, then a layer of collinite, going to try the purple dodo juce wax this weekend,







i had the calipers done in red and re logo'd as the black was getting tired.



exhaust plans are in motion and going to look at some wheels possibly tomorrow

I like it nice stance - I see you've also done the wing mirrors black, looks good with black optics

What wheels you going for? black I presume

[Noyjatat]

What is the cars set up to achieve that stance Rick?

Coilovers or springs?

What height did you drop front and rear?

Spacered?

Looks great buddy

Cracking b7 bud and I really like the red brakes who done them for you? Looks a great finish.

thanks, yeah painted them and the baseplates as the baseplates were a bit bubbly, going to try some 20s on today in silver, not standard audi ones and nothing set in stone yet so you will have to wait

cheers its running H&R 10mm rear 6mm front, on kw adjustable spring kit, rear is just about standard SS+ height was and front dropped to match, not sure in exact drop, i have actually raised it about 20mm since i first did it too.

Okay great - silver could be interesting. Please post some pictures up (if possible) as I would be interested to see how this looks as I have a similar setup

On the KW Coilovers - Do you have much left in adjustment at the rear? Only asking as some people have said that this kit is at maximum to reach the SS+ height. Thanks.
