That Red RS4 B7 Avant (Picture Heavy)
So after previously having a B7 RS4 Salon, we were on the hunt for an Avant. Some pics of the Salon.
We were only interested in two colours, the sprint blue or the red. The red was a deal-sealer and soon as we found one for sale we headed out to go and see it. It just happened to be for sale in Scotland so after a weekend trip we now owned a lovely red avant!
It was completely standard apart from the LED rear lights. When viewing it was wasn't in the best of conditions. The brakes seemed warped, having owned a RS4 before we could tell it was covered in carbon and the exhaust values were not opening when in sport etc.. But these things can be fixed and it was important that the bodywork was mint. It was kept in a garage and you could really see that in the condition of the car.
The first job was to get the Disks skimmed and pads replaced.
Just a few random shots
We then had our first drive to Worthersee, we had no issues with the car, didn't skip a beat the whole way there and back and was just a pleasure to drive. If you haven't done the trip before its well worth going!
Near the end of the trip the scenery was just amazing, it started to snow on the way back so was a slightly longer journey on the return back home but was a absolute pleasure to drive.
After that long trip had to give it a good wash down, wheels off and arches cleaned!
The wheels were then sealed making future washes easier hopefully...
Outside and inside all clean
Next up on the list was to get the car lowered, having experienced KW V3s before it was a no brainer to get the same again. They really do transform the drive of the car and you wouldn't even notice it had been lowered. Sealed them up too so they can be easily cleaned.
While the car was off road for the suspension change took the opportunity to clean the lenses and paint the insides black. CAF also fitted.
Once back on the road next task was to get all the silver bits blacked out, roof bars, window surrounds and front grill. (Didn't get round to getting the wind mirror's done just yet) And also added a light tint, wanted it to look OEM as much as possible.
Car detailed up and ready for the next trip to MIVW.
Ride hight slightly off with all the heavy luggage in boot.

Few random reflection shots
New wheels then picked up... love the concave of these. Not too keen on the colour but they do the job.
First day with the new wheels on at the Style Dynamics show in Hayes
Couple more random pictures at Edition 38/Westside 2016
Next up was to get the car booked in with Style Dynamics, pre cats removed, centre box removed and new flexis put in. What a difference the pre cats make with them removed!
A few random shots over the winter period
And the most recent pictures from the Club GTI meet and Ace Cafe

Re: That Red RS4 B7 Avant (Picture Heavy)
Looks awesome dude, keep it up! Did your grey one have quite a story behind it? Remember it struggling to sell on eBay for ages
Re: That Red RS4 B7 Avant (Picture Heavy)
As painful as it was waiting for the pics to load over O2's crappy network whilst sat on a train - that was well worth it!
Amazing how much of a transformation you get from a nice drop and a decent set of wheels!

Looking good!
What did you do to the headlights lenses? They look new. Or were they already in good condition but just needed a clean?

I was wondering that. Looks like quite an aggressive sand down, and then I'm guessing it was polished back up in stages?MikeFish wrote:Looking good!

Re: That Red RS4 B7 Avant (Picture Heavy)
It actually got a story once we sold it... it was the best RS4 we have driven/had, it certainly drove better than the avant (although the avant does still need some work to get it running right, Carbon clean etc) the salon had freshly been carbon cleaned and you could just tell it had been well looked after, you could really feel it in the drive. It seemed that once it was sold it became a cat c or d and I saw it floating on ebay for ages, it sold in less than 24 hours of the advert going up when we had it.
Yes a very aggressive sand down, defiantly not something I would do again! Best to just buy new ones!FaisalJ wrote: ↑Wed Apr 05, 2017 7:18 pmI was wondering that. Looks like quite an aggressive sand down, and then I'm guessing it was polished back up in stages?MikeFish wrote:Looking good!

Re: That Red RS4 B7 Avant (Picture Heavy)
Yeah sorry I didn't make that clear - saw it sold quickly and remember thinking it was absolutely mint then reappeared quickly with CAT status and loads of other nigglesameet wrote: ↑Wed Apr 05, 2017 9:11 pmIt actually got a story once we sold it... it was the best RS4 we have driven/had, it certainly drove better than the avant (although the avant does still need some work to get it running right, Carbon clean etc) the salon had freshly been carbon cleaned and you could just tell it had been well looked after, you could really feel it in the drive.

Re: That Red RS4 B7 Avant (Picture Heavy)
Bit of an update... Finally made the visit to MRC!
New Clutch/flywheel
Carbon clean
CAF
Full Decat
X Pipe
Stage 2
The transformation in sports mode is incredible, was smiling all the way back home! The sound is a lot nicer with a full de-cat and the x pipe, would recommend it. You can really hear it roar on full throttle.
And I also learnt that the car had been previously tuned, possibly by revo. Wasn't pulling bad numbers to start off with but the MRC stage 2 map made a huge difference to the power delivery.

Re: That Red RS4 B7 Avant (Picture Heavy)
Looks awesome mate. It seemed to make quite good power beforehand. I wonder if that was pre or post carbon clean. How many miles are on the car if you do not my md me asking?
Re: That Red RS4 B7 Avant (Picture Heavy)
Quick work and rewards well done. Another fast tomatoe on the road.

Re: That Red RS4 B7 Avant (Picture Heavy)
It was post carbon clean but it had a map on it (possibly revo), pre cats removed and CAF. It's on about 95K
