Hello & My MRC'd RS4

[rs4blacked]

@rs4blacked: Yeah, that's something I asked Doug about and it is just a bolt off/bolt on job, to swap the downpipes. I only did the decat because the MOT is not due for almost a year, but I may switch to some 200 cell cats down the line too.

I am considering the Milltek high flow cats and when it hits 50k I might give it a birthday and do what you have done to yours as the supercharger kit at a total cost of £16.5k is a tad too much to think about.

[Muneer]

The work I had done is definitely worthwhile, it feels like a very different car
The supercharger is something that I'm looking to get done in a few months actually, for now though I just want to enjoy the mods that have been done to it thus far.

[lengster1]

Well done,there like chalk and cheese when modded to this level eh? Sprint is alway fast anyway though lol

[Muneer]

Thanks and yeah, they definitely are. As Sonny said, this is how they should have been when they left the factory.

[Timster]

21? TWENTY F*CKIN ONE ?

Jeez

[Muneer]

Heh, yeah.

[j1sgo]

Nice numbers, i bet non-res and no cats are pretty bloody loud lol

Also a good thing knowing all is running right, i will get mine up there in a few months too for much the same without the exhaust (just going to gut the downpipes).

[Muneer]

It is loud and in sport mode, all hell breaks loose. It's nice above 2K revs, but between 1-2K there is too much drone, which is why I'm getting the non-res pipes swapped for resonated ones at MRC soon.

[TimDogg]

Probably a good call Muneer as the non-res does get louder with age. 21 eh? Bro, I don't want to be impolite but a lot of young guys get killed driving cars like these as they give you such confidence. My father was a police traffic officer for 37 years and drove all the new BMWs, Volvo T5s etc and picked up dead people who thought they knew better everyday from road accidents. He died last year from complications resulting from alcohol abuse and stress but before he died he said to me that it was a waste to die on the roads and that seeing people getting killed needlessly for those many years had taken its toll. Be safe out there bro - you have bought a car that will look after you to a point but after that, physics takes over. Basically, when you get it wrong, and we all do at some point, it will go wrong very quickly as you will be at a much higher speed than you would be in a normal car. Keep it chilled buddy, I teach young guys to fly fast jets in the RAF so I see this a lot, I don't mean to patronise - I have a Sprint Blue too,but don't want to see another RS4 wrapped around a tree - take care and use the forum here for support, it is in a class of its own.

Muneer - nice results there - listen to Timdogg as well

I dont meen to be rude so please dont take this the wrong way - but what the f*** do you do to be able to afford a RS4 and all the mods at the age of 21 ?

[Muneer]

@TimDogg: Thanks for the thoughts/advice. I completely agree with everything you said there. I know most drivers my age think we know everything and do tend to show off.
Just recently I heard about 2 19-20 year olds local to me, that had passed away due to the driver pushing his new Fiesta ST and his capabilities to more than their limit. He overtook a vehicle on a tight a road (at some speed) and drove straight into a tour bus, full of people. No one on the bus was hurt, but the car was totalled and the driver and his friend both passed away.

Things like this do drive home the fact that all cars out there are machines which can kill, and the RS4 is one which can do this quite easily.
I have a lot of respect for the car and what it can do. I won't lie, I have put my foot down a bit on empty dual carriageways when I'm on my own, but not at any other time as my worst fear is killing somebody innocent, due to my actions.
I've been driving for almost 5 years now without a single accident *touch wood*, but I know I still have a lot to learn and experience, which will come with time.

@spikeyboy101: Thanks and not rude at all. I run my own web development/social media company. We own and operate various websites, which generate revenue through advertising.
http://www.damnlol.com/ is our flagship site at the moment, which receives over 40 million unique visitors and 600 million pageviews monthly. We work directly with brands like Nike, Coca Cola, Apple etc and social media companies like Facebook

Too true, Since I became a HGV driver my driving has changed as I am soo much more aware of what is around me, the amount of bad driving I see is mind boggling.

Yes I am a reasonably quick driver but that is only because I am always aware of what is around me and drive to the conditions. I was cruising at 40mph (in the truck) on a dual carriageway the other day when temp was -4 the amount of car drivers that passed me doing I reckon 80+ was just silly, black ice and they'd be f**cked.

[Gazzaton]

Roundabouts seem to be the worst, the number of people who don't know how to navigate round them correctly is unbelievable, had a few near misses

[guffy]

Nice thread, if I wasn't up in Aberdeen, would have been to MRC myself by now.

Surprised MRC said 382bhp was just down to carbon build-up, would have been interesting to see a plot with just the ports cleaned...

OP comes across as very level headed for 21, more than I was at that age, struggle to remember that far back though

[Chrishumes]

Can i ask how much just for the port clean and does anyone else do it? So 20-30bhp lost coz of it??
