Must have mods

Post by hector8 » Sun Oct 11, 2015 11:12 am

Hello

I am pretty new to the B7 RS4 scene.

Currently my Avant is standard bar 8mm spacers all around. Enjoying every minute of it so far. Driving home last night I was just pulling into our house and I literally said "I flipping love this car" .... to myself. :kissmyrings:

Just wondering what your list of must have mods are no matter how big or small, cheap or expensive.

Mine was already modded when I bought it, but I think I get the most enjoyment out of, in order:

- MRC stage 2 map ( S mode feels like you have a turbo!)
- Centre resonator removal and valves stuck open
- Audio upgrade: pioneer Apple CarPlay head unit, JL 3 channel amp, JL sub, focal front components (rears disconnected)
- KW coilovers

Lots more you can do depending on personal choice...lots of ideas on the forum.

1. MRC Stage 2 map
2. 2010+ RNS-E plus AMI

Tried a non-res exhaust but hated the drone, so I've gone back to a res Milltek.
