Good news on the valves Gareth,

More people should know about your exhaust guys, they've done a great job there.

Well the engine bay needed a clean out so gave Stu a ring at Anglia Autocare who came over and gave it a good dig out. He did a great job as always. Another minor job but it was definitely bugging me.

Good job, I do love a good engine clean, do mine once a year good dose of APC and G303 aerospace protectant to finish. Let me know next time you want this done I'll do you a freebie for the petrol we've burnt recently.

Those exhaust tips will go black with the fumes, don't reckon you will notice them after a week or so

yeah it looks tight under there, i wonder why it isnt symmetrical like the b7 having a base rolling road figure is good, then you can see if your mods increase the power. i didnt mean the tips i meant the backboxes behind the tips, can you not see them through the exhaust tips?

can mrc not do the gearbox at the same time?

No you can't see he back boxes. You can make out the final flared tubing but even that is not really obvious. I will speak to MRC when I have enough money in the bank.

Strangely enough Terry I never got any pics of me with the Fiat, in fact I have no pics of me in the RS4 either just of the car and what I did to it.

Heres a super short vid of a couple of quick blips now the exhaust has settled in.
