I never knew you could get subs like that. I had a flat JL Audio sub once, but yours is a great idea for a little extra bass without losing valuable boot space. Hey James! Yeh, they design the subs to be able to take stuff being piled on top of them so they're great as no risk of damaging the speak...

Update. Decided to stick in the Pioneer flat active sub (TS-WX77A) that I had lying around for a little more depth to the sound. FIts very well. Sound is good but a bit too bass heavy as I'm missing the remote control for the sub so can't turn the gain down. Even with the head unit bass down to the ...

Hi Aky, Lovely motor! I also have a sprint blue Avant and regularly visit Chris. If you don’t mind me asking where did you get the RNSE, AMI and hybrid TV tuner from? And what did you pay (pm me if you’d prefer). Very tempted to do this upgrade but not sure on part numbers etc. TIA Dave. Hi Dave, T...

Nice. Glad the project went ok for you.

Car looks lovely mate

Thanks James! Just need to get it round to Chris at CM Tuning now for a once over.

Bit fo an update. I've got the fascia swapped over from the Media Mk2 RNS-E and installed along with the AMI in the glovebox. Also finally got the wheels fitted but unfortunately the Pilot Sport 4s' are a touch too wide (265) so I've ordered a full set of 255/30/20 Yoko V105's (R01 rated). Pic below...

Looking good James! I use some of the Menzerna range as well, they're excellent polishes and like you said the 400 isn't as aggressive as you might think. I use the 300 (super-heavy) as my go to for cars with severe swirls or to polish out P1500/2000 wet/dry sanding. Again, not crazy aggressive but ...

Update:

The LED Mk2 RNS-E came through today, looks good, just gotta add it to the list of stuff to do!

As it's an A3 unit, next job is to swap over the face plates with the A4 RNS-E, so will have a non-LED A3 RNS-E for sale if anyone needs one?!

Thanks Aky. If you are desperate to keep it OEM then fine you can do the RNSE upgrade. I bought one from an A3 I think and transferred the facias and coded it to the car with my VCDS but you can get RS4 versions already done sometimes. However, a proper aftermarket unit is another world of improvem...

Mate you sound like me. I need to know everything has been done properly lol. I end up explaining to tech's how I want it done and I have to stop myself sometimes and just trust them. You will like my thread then. :) Loved your thread mate, both your cars are stunning. I noticed you put the media L...

Hi James,

Not often I read a full thread but I did! It's good to see the process you've gone throght.

I'm looking at the Maxton sides and front as well, may bite the bullet once I've got the wheels on!

Aky

Hey James, Yes, that's right, I bought it from Owain. I was originally after a B5 but when I saw his car it was too good not to go and take a look! Needless to say the viewing went well!! Thanks for the kind comments, but as it stands all credit to Owain and it's previous owner for maintaining & loo...

Hello all, After much searching around for a stablemate to my E30 M3, (looked at E46 M3, B5 RS4, E39 M5, E90 M3) I've ended up with a B7 RS4 Avant. Purchased from a fellow RS246 member, it ticked most of the important boxes especially history and provenance (has approx £36k of receipts with it). The...

Hi all,

Awesome forum!

Picking up my new-to-me B7 Avant on the weekend and looking forward to being a member of the RS community!
