Over the last few weekends I've
Painted two sets of alloys

Poly bushed front end
Fitted new rear arb and brackets

Wrapped grill
Just an oil change, new tyres to be fitted and a good clean and I'm ready for adi

Just need to wire it into the glovebox area.
With I had a auto dimming mirror.
Whats the deal with the camera, forward facing? Whats it for?
need to get it under the lip of the roof so the sun doesnt screw with the pictures
looks great, I fancy one of those except can imagine it would incriminate me some of the time!!

Are the subframes painted/powdercoated or new ones?
I got it done local to me but paid too much and it isnt the best job in the world either so wont be recommending them.Look good where abouts did you get them done if you dont mind me asking?
Oh, another thing I've done today is finally learnt how to multi-quote posts!
Can you share, i dont know how to???
scott surprised it took you this long to pull it apart
what you running through av plugs then
RNS-d mate.Nice progress Scott, is this D or E? Is there much ahssle getting it wired in?
Well ive just fitted the meyle control arms took me the majority of this morning as the n/s/f track rod was siezed solid, soaked it in tunap still wouldnt budge got it spinning but that was were the rubber bushing was so pulled the air chisel out and shocked the rod on the locking nut and it came free but was still tight coming off all in all everything came off with ease even the top pinch bolts !
So then i set about my poor brakes started bleeding them and the n/s/r and o/s/f was hardly pushing any fluid out even when pumping the pedal with the nipple open so got the fluid sucker on both off them and it seemed to pull the fluid through i then set the tracking for just the front wheels as the rear seams to be all in line will get it 4 wheel aligned when i tackle the rear bushes.
Now everything feels fine except theres a knocking noise if i rock the steering at a stand still it was there before i did the arms im thinking the UJ is shot on the column/rack whats it like to change the UJ as the tracking is straight but slightly to the right but if i straighten the wheel slightly it pulls slightly to the left so im thinking i need to tighten up the rack/uj before i try and track it up again ohh and the brakes seem to be alot better now !!
looks like an engine bay should ...gorgeous.A few little bits done, mainly this.... Engine back in, colour coded RS4 y-pipe, rs4 accordion MAF and airbox. Everything cleaned up as reassembled and fitted the RS4 carbon engine covers. Looking good i think?
