Another MRC400 S4 on the way...

[Dippy]

Thanks Clive, that's what I expected. I also think you are right. Whilst the stock RS4 had many improvements over the stock S4, based on the reactions of RS4 owners, they still were not good enough (i.e. brakes, suspension, shifter) and so probably a stage 1 would not be enough.

The other problem is the risk of theft, which must be higher for an RS4 than an S4.

Jeff, I also have been miffed that my insurance premium is higher than an for an RS4, but I think Clive raises a point: I think this is only true if the RS4 is stock. Once mods are declared I think most insurers would treat a modded RS4 the same risk as a modded S4.

And yes I might wish I had done it before but I won't kick myself because all my money is set aside for our house extension and that's that. Any car upgrade has to wait until I know I have the cash available.

Good man Clive, very envious that you are going for it.

[Ads4]

Has it happened yet Clive?!

[Peakz]

Oh I'm sure we'll all hear about it when it happens won't we Clive . . ?

[CliveH]

Yes, you will Paz

No, not yet Adam, but it won't be long now...watch this space...

[CliveH]

The car is now in the capable hands of MRC while I'm away.

I'll try to post some work-in-progress pics...

[GrahamS4]

Interested in the assesment of the condition of your K03s too.

[CliveH]

Me too Graham - I'll post a report on that too

[dazzer]

Good luck Clive. I would be interested in a very critical and honest appraisal of the results, paticularly differences in driveability and characteristics.

[CliveH]

Thanks Dazzer

I'll do that too.
