Mike's big RS4 modding project

Need more pics Mike !! Stop teasing

Lol, I wasn't teasing, my phone was over exposing the shots in the fading light last night so they look the wrong colour. I was hoping to get some better pictures this afternoon but I'll stick a couple up now anyway.

Bad lighting so they look a different colour.

I picked mini graphite Matt.

Mike do you want some wheel nut caps/covers? I have some I bought for the RS6 but never fitted brand new in packaging. Can post them to you if you want them? Useless to me.

Funny you should say that. I was talking about this yesterday when I picked them up. I have all the caps I just took them off because I don't like them. But I noticed they looked odd without them once they wheels had been refitted. Del said you can buy black ones so I might look if I can find any if not I'll probably spray mine. If I spray them a spare set might be handy though. I'll let you before aitp.

Yeah mine are black plastic. Just shout and I'll bring em

How is yours so low at the back? I've got KW springs on mine but its nowhere near as low as that, have you done something else or have i got dodgy springs?

Thanks

[MikeFish]

My back is just wound all the way down. The front is not, but needs to come down a little more.
I also have a couple of amps and a load of sound deadening in the boot. I normally have a big subwoofer in there too but it wasn't in when this photo was taken. To be honest, the sub doesn't really make it look any lower so maybe the amps (which weigh less) don't either and it's just down to the springs.
Who fitted your springs?

Ah, they're already black? That would be useful then!

Or it might be the dead prostitute I keep in there.

Must be that then haha it might just be a combination of a little extra weight and the 20" wheels maybe make it look lower. Going to take them off and check they're sat right when i find the time and can get on the ramp

Cheers

Yes the 20s help. See the photo at the top of page 20 to see what it looked like last week with my 19s back on.

Actually, I've just remembered the actual conversation I had yesterday at Prestige; it wasn't about black caps, it was about replacing the actual bolts for black ones. I just had a quick look on ebay and it looks like there are loads on there so think I'll do that instead.
I just need to find the actual length of the OEM bolts. Searched and found someone saying they are 27mm but can only find 26 or 28mm ones so far on ebay.

I got my black locking nuts from virdee

Hey Im Trying to follow your thread but cant see why you removed the milltek for the standard what was the reason

Also the only sidelights that work on the RS4 100% no error are these no others work

Hi rs4xenon.
If you mean the Tubi back boxes with milltek centre sections, I removed them because they were extremely loud and I kept getting stopped by police. Although it was quieter with the resonated centre sections I was still getting too much unwanted attention. I love a loud exhaust and loved the sound it made especially with the non resonated section but thought I'd try and see what I could do with the standard exhaust. I still prefer the look of the quad pipes though.

[MikeFish]

Whilst swapping my nuts over for the new black ones I thought I'd quickly record the exhaust noise as it sounds now.

It is only a quick vid filmed in the dark (and at about 10pm so didn't want to go too crazy).



Pretty good for £110 I think!
