New Owner Oxford area

Post by **NSXR** » Wed Sep 02, 2015 7:37 am

Hi,
I have just joined the forum. Have picked up a rather nice B7 last week. First trip was a 5 hour drive home to Lands End the car performed brilliantly.

Would be interested in meeting other owners in the area if you get together any time for coffee or a drive.

I am looking to replace the RNS system with an upgraded system with bluetooth and DAB etc, any suggestions please let me know I am sure it is a well trodden path!

Will be at MRC on Saturday for a health check on the dyno, no plans to modify but want to know that there are no issues with that piece of V8 art in the front.

Welcome to the forum... FON !

Hope you're enjoying your B7 so far? What did you go for saloon, avant or cab? Get some pics up to show off your pride & joy...

I'm in Newbury so not too far from you - happy to meet up for a drive sometime. I owned a B7 saloon for 3 years and never tire of seeing an RS4...

Cheers...Sevy

FON, and lets see that Rule 1 action!

Petrol Dave is the man for RNS/Stereo knowledge, search his posts/responses....

And and be prepared for MRC to tell you that your beloved V8 is putting out somewhere between 360 and 390 brake - max.

But honestly, unless you want to be 3k poorer I wouldnt worry about it unless its a vac leak which will be significantly down on power.

These cars are beasts, drive it, enjoy it!

Thanks for the tips guys. Will look up Petrol Dave. Savy I have a silver avant. has the nice carbon bits inside. very good.

I took the car to MRC at the weekend and dyno'd it - it was well down on power but now its not! got it back tonight. They have done a fantastic job and I thought it was fast before.

Any drives let me know.
