Not as quick as the Evo, but it's never going to be, especially with over 100bhp less, but drives superb, it just feels so solid. Don’t get me wrong with 265bhp (watch this space) it still shifts a bit with it!
Wasn’t too impressed with the guy selling it as he had half washed it so it was covered in water marks and paw prints from his cats, really great condition to try and get a sale! Anyway I looked past it that and decided to go for it, didn’t get the 17" Avus wheels in the deal but then I don’t need them, plus I got him to chuck in the load liner and dog guard.
So after 7 hours of cleaning yesterday (that’s just the outside, although the inside is pretty tidy, she now looks like this:
Work that needs doing:
Nearside rear wheel bearing, hopefully being done on the right side of £100
Brake pads, no doubt uprated, again hopefully n the right side of £100 (can anyone advise on this?)
Looks like someone might have taken a screwdriver to a bit of trim on the driver’s window running up the 'B' post shouldn’t be too expensive.
Small dent below the fuel filler, mate gonna sort that as that’s his profession, reckons on £25 for the job.
It does have a few scratches etc, but then its 9 years old and has done 107k miles, not that it feels like it!
Mods I’m doing:
Full window tint, hopefully next week, for security reasons and to keep the temp down if poss to help the hounds out)
Update S4 badges from the B6 Avant, hopefully by Wed
Panel filter (again can anyone on here advise what to go for?)
Full Miltek cat back exhaust and custom remap by MRC, £1200 but should see 330+bhp
Fit all the equipment such as satnav, DVD, reversing camera etc from the Evo.
Got to wait till next Mon but a trip to the licensing office in Wimbledon means "66 WYD" can go on the car with shortened plates, plus get a years tax at the same time.
Poss cosmetics Inc some carbon fibre trim on the interior, and maybe get the different aircon panel to allow me to use the heated seats (any info on these bits gratefully received!).
Looking for new wheels already and these on eBay have caught my eye: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... 0144579423 Opinions? Not even sure they'd fit to be honest.
May well change the grill over to an RS4 one or get one from eBay (again could anyone here advise?)
Even considering new headlights, although these maybe a little over the top http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/HID-Audi-A4-S4-1- ... dZViewItem
