Re: Turbos!!!

Some of you may have seen my post, possibly just below this 1, basically whinging about the lack of dramatics from the rs4, now my rose tinted glasses had worn off. I've been thinking at work today, about boost applications, without spending more than the cars actual value and considering realistic ...

Re: A few annoying things with my car

Small update on normal / spirited road driving. The esp thing worked a treat! So thanks to those that suggested it. I honestly can't believe how much of a difference it has made, even to sedate town driving. Before there would sometimes be some undue (I want to say clunking and banging but not that ...

Re: A few annoying things with my car

Thanks for the responses. I will have a go with esp off but I had it off when at Snetterton and I'm pretty sure it did the same, unless I nursed it through the gears. The evo might be laggy if you just floor it at 30 in 5th but then you just change down a gear. It's not on the go throttle response t...

Re: A few annoying things with my car

Thanks for your reply.

DBW - drive by wire

Yes it's got a revo stage 2 apparently.

Didn't realise you could fit springs to the DRC so will look at that. I had considered kw coil overs but wasn't sure how involved removing the DRC would be.


Yes my miltek is resonated and valved.

A few annoying things with my car

Hi all, I've had my car about 6 months now and I must say, it has been brilliant. However, now that my rose tinted glasses are starting to wear off, there are a few things that are annoying me to the point where I'm thinking of selling it. 1. Dbw throttle response - it can't seem to respond quick en...

Re: Audi Legends B7 RS4

Although a good watch, am I the only 1 that found it extremely bias? I know that we're all proud of our cars and like to hear that it's the best thing since sliced bread but....... In my opinion they tested the car in all of its wrong areas and to compare it to cars like evos was ridiculous. Where t...

Re: B7 RS4 Picture Thread

Thanks. It's pretty much the spec I wanted (ceramics, buckets etc etc) plus a miltek exhaust and revo stage 2. Ive got a few plans for it. Probably darker colored wheels, black optics, carbon interior (instead of brushed ali) and probably get the revo replaced with a proper map once I've carbon cle...

Re: Snetterton 9th november track day

Haha, I'm sure it would but it's also worth 100000 times more than my evo. I'm also after some end of season bragging times and as rs is unfortunately no where near as fast, the evo is the weapon of choice I think.

Re: What's involved in a carbon clean

That's awesome gents, thanks very much. Doesn't look anywhere near as bad as I thought it would be, especially being able to blast it clean!

I might buy a gasket and knock up an adaptor on the mill at work before I go for it.

Thanks again

Re: Snetterton 9th november track day

Might be tempted but I'll be taking my evo. Don't think I'd be particularly fast trying to baby the Rs around there Haha!
