lol , i missed out on the 18th/4 r/r day because of reasons beyond my control (another story!) so im looking forward to adding my pennyworth
im hoping for more than 365bhp .
After a long conversation with Doug at MRC www.mrctuning.com im taking my car to Paul Weston www.westontuning.com for a power run . i have been closely following a number of treads on this forum and i've decided to bite the bullet as it were ,if its above my hoped figure the plan would be ...MRC clean up (and mod),fcustom remap ,intake ,miltek,shortshifter,poss clutch upgrade ,ARbars ,coil overs, a few cosmetic and ICE mods if not then i will have to think about replacing my much loved rs4 , tis a matter of cash invested v returns ,i'm sure other owners that demand the most from their cars have already or will face this dilema ...but we will see
roll on tomorrow (excuse the pun)
ps to cap it off im test driving a r8 in the morning before i go ..lol

How much is a power run at Western these days? Last time I went it was about 90 quid! :shock:
I want to get my S2 done again, but am not paying that price lol, wish there was somewhere else in or around Northamptonshire :?

Is LSV at Wellingborough / Silverstone not close to you or are you on the other side of Northampton? They have a sealed cell Dyno Dynamics rolling road. Website is www.lsvuk.com, it says they are in Wellingbrorough which would be hamdy for you but they also have Unit 10 at Silverstone which is where their r/r is and it used to be WRC Technologies / Race Solutions. Chris Davies who runs the branch is very knowledgeable on r/r's
