Gorgeous car!
Thanks.
Looks a bit different again since that last post.

Had the KW adjustable springs fitted. Much higher now, higher than I actually wanted even with the springs on their lowest setting. Spacers added to the front again.
And Eventuri fitted.

Looks stunning Mike 8)
Although it still needs a black RS 7 emblem at the front, just to finish off the black theme IMHO

Thanks Rob. An RS6 badge might be more appropriate than an RS7 one though. I have a spare badge and truied to make it black with some plastidip but didn't work out. And you can't buy black badges, you have to buy the letter and number and stick them to the badge and I was a little dubious about getting the spacing right. Unless you know where I can get one from?

Sorry Mike typo error - it should have been RS 6
I had trouble finding black RS7 front emblems, but I cam across the following company on ebay that also does front RS6 emblems in black

99 Euros and 20 postage FFS that's excessive for a badge

Love how menacing your RS6 looks. I prefer it sitting slightly higher on the springs, it was a bit low for my taste. Have you noticed much difference with the eventuri fitted? I bet the induction noise is great.

Cheers :thumbs:

Thanks buddy.
Not a massive deal to be honest. Other than looking pretty, I can;t hear any induction roar over my exhaust (with valves permanently open). If my music is not blaring out ans the window is open a little I can now hear the turbos spinning up which is nice. But I'm sure it feels like it pulls much harder now. Will put it on the dyno again when I get a chance but certainly feels better, which I wasn't really expecting.

They do look the nuts. I had a day at evolve with my M3 and they done back to back tests with an oem airbox and an eventuri on the dyno. There were definatly gains on the dyno, I never had it on the road and I’m not sure you would be able to tell power wise but I was told that it made the response more crisp precise.

Cheers :thumbs:
