Tidy looking motor.
Nice one.

[MikeFish]

Nice. Just need some spacers and a detango.

[Rick_RS4]

that looks tidy

whats the spec

[stu148]

just standard spec
but to be honest not sure if I like it ,after owning subarus and evos for the last 15 years


I'll give it a week or two and if I still feel the same I'll sell it

it's a nice drive and nowt wrong with it but totally diff to what I'm use to

this is how I felt about buying one , wanted one for years
but it don't feel right
and Defo not living up to my expectations
, I'm doing a 1200 mile jaunt round Germany in the next two week

ive had Subaru's and evo's to mate but you will get more comments about your rs than any of scoobies and evo's ,ive had mine for 2 years now and still enjoy the sound of that v8

[MikeFish]

Disconnect the exhaust valves and rev it. That'll help sort out the sound. Are you sure there isn't something wrong with it like a vacuum leak? Any way of connecting a pc or tablet to see how much air its sucking in? That'll give you a good idea of any power loss problems without a dyno.

[stu148]

there's nowt wrong with the car

was just expecting more from it

do you mean the exhaust flaps ? like it's in s mode

[MikeFish]

Yes. Even in sport mode the valves aren't open all the time. Disconnect the hose from each valve (behind the backbox) and plug the hose with a screw and cable tie. Takes about 2 mins and improves the sound as the valves remain open all the time.

[stu148]

is this ok to do ? or will itchy k up a ecu light

[MikeFish]

Yeah ifs fine, no warnings or lights. Just block the pipe to makes sure you don't create a vacuum leak and maybe a bit of tape over the valve connection to stop any crap getting in. Quick cheap and sounds great whem you give it some beans. Most noticeable if you are standing outside with your foot inside revving it hard.

Nice wheels Mate
Cheaper tax on that being an 06 I should think as well
Enjoy

[stu148]

no unfortunately not it's the high tax
but so was my evo so no worries
