Dane's new RS4

[billym3]

Very nice car mate.


Pads wise I'd go for ebc blue stuff NDX pads or rs29s.

 

[Dane]

Thanks chaps, black rings are staying though.

Pads are only going to be replaced by ds2500s they done well in the past

Thanks bud, the lights contrast all the black to good effect me thinks.

It might go for a run at inters but not many runs as the new standard clutch is only just handling my torque ATM.

Yeah I got some stills from the vid but they aren't very good I'll find them for you anyway though

Stunning car wanted one of those myself but just picked up an 07 s3

 

[Dane]

Thanks bud It's pretty awesome!

Coilovers and new control arms have arrived, new top mounts being ordered tomorrow.

And new wheels have been purchased....

 

[Dane]

Suspensions done! Excuse the dirty car it rained lots on the way back!

Very happy with it so far might need adjusting slightly as it settles

 

[ScottD3]

Very nice mate.

What wheels did you get?

 

[Dane]

Cheers bud, the new wheels are of a porsche nature but that's all I'm saying

Car looks great.

 

[Maverick1]

Man this thing is Horn. I always wanted one, but in Australia they are rare as Hens teeth. I've only ever seen one before down here.

 

[Dane]

Thanks chaps, sending my new alloys off for a refurb soon

 

[Dane]

Bits!

[Dane]

So the wheels are done, just waiting on black centres with coloured badges and some h&r adapters, who knows what they are?

They are all gloss black no silver rim, that's just the Light, I'm very happy with the finish, I've bought brand new wheels that had worse paint! And all in 36 hours


Plan is to seal them with a few coats of auto finesse stuff and swap the rubber over from my b7's with the tire fitters being punished by death if they mess them up.

 

[S3 Rav]

Oohhh very nice Dane!! Get some pics of them on now!!!

 

[Dane]

Thanks bud I'm still waiting on adapters fom dpm

But in the meanwhile

Wheels are all ready, sealed and new centre caps.

Cheeky clean pic next to the golf;

I can't find Audi centres in this size, plus I like the colour of the centres, helps break up the black

Fair enough, looks good either way!

What's your next plan for the car?

 

[Dane]

Well sort this out first

Then repair a small kerb scuff and finally end my exhaust ticking by fitting my nice new shiny Wagner 3 inch downpipes with 100 cell cats.

 

[BigWillyStyle]

Ahh bad times. I've had the same happen to me on Avon tyres!

Will look forward to the update mate.

 

[Dane]

Little pre ADI clean and freshen up.

Changed the rear rings too, as opon machine polishing the boot, turns out my old ones were just painted black.. Damn previous owners....

Old

Miles better IMO

 

[ANDYTQ]
