My Rs4 Project

[Rick_RS4]

Ive been busy this weekend,

removed aux rad, removed all silver trim, removed mirrors for spraying, de tango'd the corner markers, and made a custom cold air intake.

[sonny]

Good work there Rick. Just one question, have you blocked off the whole of the front intake, if so this may effect the break cooling as the duct takes its air feed from here

cheers, the brake cooling ducts are fed from the vent scoops in the undertray

[sonny]

ok thought it was taking from the duct. Will take your word for it.

So did you remove the airbox flap ?

[Rick_RS4]

nothing there



yeah flap removed and vac pipe bunged up, still left solonoid in just incase it throws a code.

[sonny]

Have you took it for a test drive yet, if so notice a difference?

[Rick_RS4]

not driven it yet, im waiting for the wing mirrors to get back from the sprayers.

[sonny]

what you having done?

[Rick_RS4]

what you having done?

mirrors body coloured, and then wheels done when the new tyres arrive.

[sonny]

Nice one. I was tempted to do the same to my cold air feed, the naca style ducting will give you the very best of rammed air, giving me ideas!

i didnt do any logs before but ill log inlet temps and inlet g/s in a couple of daysto see if its made much difference, for a 3rd forced inlet could be made to the one that goes backwards down the wing.

Looking good Rick

[Rick_RS4]

thanks Jules.

bit of an update

went to a rolling road day, had a great day but not so great on power managed 381bhp (this was before CAF mod) heres a couple of pics that a mate took.





i fitted an A8 rear 'ring' badge as the standard one looks a little small and lost on the boot.



since then i sent the mirrors off to paint, theyre back now and on the car, I have wrapped the centre caps black to match the wheels



the wheels have been acid bathed and powdercoated high gloss black and fitted with new vredesteins



heres a teaser pic of it all back together, to say im pleased with it is an understatement, it looks so mean now.

will get some better pics in the week

[sonny]

You have been busy Rick, cars coming on nicely.

Where is that rolling road?

[HYFR]

381PS isnt bad?
