Re: Jonys RS4 Project

Looks great mate! Thanks for sharing!

I am about to do the headlight mod too.....did you paint just the chrome bit at the front edge or the inside section too?

Re: BaCoN's B7 RS4 (plus some car history)

Cheers Guys!

Next mod is underway after one of my headlights died so Trups has been hit-up for some gear! - why replace when you can upgrade? :rocker:

Re: Possible head gasket

Both my Aux radiators were leaking on the back sides only (so not visible until removal of belly pan) and the only sign was a 'sweet' smell every so often (mostly when going up hills slowly when then car was warm randomly!)

Re: BaCoN's B7 RS4 (plus some car history)

Jan 2016 Long time since an update so I thought I would post something! Exhaust has been in for a while. Essentially it was a resonator delete mod so it was relatively cheap but sounds lovely! Just louder than stock, no drone, and looks factory - all positives to me! Since then it has really just be...

Re: BaCoN's B7 RS4 (plus some car history)

Well I had an awesome day yesterday with the Impreza NSW club at another one of their Wet Skid Pan events out at Eastern Creek. A really good way to learn some skills and a safe environment to play around a little and learn the limits and abilities of the car. Not sure if anyone else has spent much ...

Re: BaCoN's B7 RS4 (plus some car history)

April 2015 - Bilsteins Installed So far so good! The car is definitely firmer but still comfortable. It feels more direct and planted on the road and is alot of fun on the twisties. I haven't played around with the adjust-ability and hoping i can turn it down slightly (no idea what it is set to). Ov...
