How many from a b7?
How many from a b7?
As title really, are there many in here from a b7 rs4? I have been considering myself as I just cannot ignore the figures that get thrown around in here. I really do love the b7 though and I am finding it very difficult. I have even thought about keeping the rs4 as well but I just don't know if i can justify it. Does anyone have any advice even if not from a b7? If you are from a b7, are there any regrets? I have seriously been considering supercharging the b7 but i just don't think it is the way to go for me.
Cheers.

Re: How many from a b7?
I've just sold a B7 and am waiting for the right C6 to turn up. Whilst I can't offer you any specifics, I, like you, am drawn by the large numbers, motorway grunt and higher refinement of the C6 

Believe only the man who has nothing to gain from what he says.

Re: How many from a b7?
I did it
The B7 might handle well for a RS buts it's a slow old girl....with dozens of issues.
A MRC C6 is as about as mad as it gets just don't expect it to corner at speed like a B7....although VERY reliable.

How many from a b7?
Only just over 300 cars brought to the UK, so not many to choose from.

In all fairness, I have just done a stage 2 and it does feel quick but god, I can't imagine a 720ps c6. There aint much to look out for in fairness is there? Oil leak about it? Is it worth getting a ppi?RS6chris! wrote:I did it

If I do it, I would have to get a black or blue saloon with Black leather and buckets. I think I will start the long grueling hunt...

Re: How many from a b7?
Black or blue 'loon with buckets. I think that's going to be a loooong search.
There just isn't the choice with the C6. You'll have to compromise and then retrofit stuff if it's must have.

This appeals. No buckets though...doodlebug wrote:Black or blue 'loon with buckets. I think that's going to be a loooong search.

Re: How many from a b7?
That's what I thought before, mine was wrapped Blue when I got it. When I peeled it off after 18 month, the Black paint was left in great condition so bonus! Mind, there is always the risk that something is being hidden. If they are wrapped properly, people really would think it was paint. Most people thought I had mine resprayed and couldn't believe it was wrapped.RossDagley wrote:Wrapped and looks <beep>

Re: How many from a b7?
Can't comment on power on a RS4 but I found a 4 just too small the C6 is massive (I have the Avant) it works for everything loads of space for family and tip runs. Then mapped it's just mental a huge family estate with over 700bhp. The only problem I have is what to get next for under 30k
