My new financially irresponsible purchase - this time in the form of an Audi RS4 B7 Avant to keep myself entertained whilst I wait for my 130...

My neighbour has one of these with the Miltek exhaust, it sounds phenomenal!
Enjoy |

It's packing the Miltek's also
Click image to enlarge Not much to report Col on the 130, frustratingly - all still there waiting for Stagshaw to assemble it! I was told in summer 2023 that there was no doubts they would have it finished before Christmas... there was no progress made in that time. I won't be giving them many more chances as I am tired of being mislead, but I am too busy executing my project this quarter to deal with it

An MRC Stage 2 remap and "de-flap" is on the cards for sometime in the future. 1st thing though will be a new set of Michelin Pilot Sports on all corners! It's currently sitting on out dated Pilot Sport 3's from 2017
 , with the only mods being the resonated Miltek's and a bluetooth adaptor to factory head unit. Other than that I intend to keep it rather stock looking and unmolested. Although, I am toying with the idea of slapping my Stedi Type-X Pro spotties to the front for those winter drives and touring of Scandinavia...? Stuart

yeah you need the decent rubber, just to get the power to the wheels. id look at stage 3 if there isnt much more needed.

not really sure any RS4 will ever be a 'sleeper'...........the phat arches for starters are a dead give away

Looks very good to me. How much HP?
Audi is a great product IMHO, Wifey has an RSQ3 which she absolutely loves. |

Had the B8 since 2016 (same engine), it's been bomb proof other than a misting front damper hasn't done many miles but it's rapid up to 50mph in any situation, have had PS4S on it for the past few years and they are great.

some unsuspecting boy racer in a corsa or a fiesta wouldn't really twig until its too late
My little metro GTa 16v had the 16v badge on the back, matched the colour of the car funny enough, and people just thought it was a metro with a spoiler on, until procta wounded up over 4k RPM. me and my dad had dropped a vvc 160 lump under it.  Defender TD5 90 ---/--- Peugeot 306 HDI hatch back

Love the B8 RS4 also, but I just don't get the same enjoyment as I do with the manual.
Really hoping to pick it up this Tuesday or Wednesday from near Wales Stuart

Holy
 ! It is fast - much more so than I remember. Don't think I'll be needing that stage 2 any time soon...

It looks absolutely cracking! Dream garage material for me, I desperately need a house with more space… and more money!!
