Well it is a work in progress now Phil after i went to change a couple of broken rear springs.A few pics of her,one before i started and some of her at the moment.I have boxes of bits starting to clutter up the place so the spanners will have to come out again at some point. :lol:

As she was completely standard

Sorting out the broken rear springs and a few other bits aswell,excuse the ABS sensor that got chucked
IMG0325A.jpg
Thought i may aswell sort out the front while i was there

Had a bit of an experiment with the front grills

Took her outside for a quick wash and to try some different wheels and then back into the shed again for some more bits.
.A long way to go yet,but i hope so far to have cured the factory"pig on rollerskates" type handling :shock: :lol:. Now i can start to add some go faster bits :D

Nice colour. Be careful you don't just throw money at it. The B5 makes good power with a map and exhaust. The B7 RS4 brakes with Pheaton cooling ducts work very well. If you plan on doing track days, then let some sticky tyres. Sorted :)

The money i throw at it will be well spent i hope.I have a good idea of what mods i plan to do.I don't think it will be tracked,but i have a stack of RS4 parts some of which i will use and some i will sell.Braking and handling were my main concern to start with.It has fairly standardish brakes at the moment,but they are brand new,so should do the job for a while.I rather fancy the BBK Porsche Cayenne set up, when i change them.All good fun though putting it together.When i pull the engine i will be able to sort out the remaining mounts i want to change.I just have subframe, tranny,diff and engine to do now,and that will be the lot.I only want to do it all once. :lol: All advice welcome though.K04'S will be the biggest outlay,as i want a new set,of B/W's :shock: :lol: .I was going to use the RS4 TB,TBB,fuel rail and injectors but have decided to go another route now,so i will probably sell those.I'll post some more pics of things i get up to when i have time :s4addict:
