Default Busy weekend on the car...

saddly not the RS

First job was replace this


With this


Then a mate rolled up and swapped some paper folding stuff for this


By the close of yesterday I'd got it to this point but I had to get back to my missus so left it at my mums place and stole her Focus for the evening.


By 3pm today it was done


Happy to report the de-cat has made a huge difference and the intercooler seems to be working a treat. Hope to do some tests with VAGcom to get some numbers

The cooler will be covered totally when I find some mesh that matches the RS4 grill. I don't want it on display at all

It's my plate just made the German way. And yes I know it's not legal and it's cost me £150 in fines over the last 2½ years.

How much did that little lot rush you then?? ...and will you not need a re-map to keep things safe with the new mods??

I agree it all looks too bright, would defo have got the pipework/cooler done black and used black hosing as well to retain the sleeper look.


Cheers,
Grant

pmsl, was nursing it back as the fuel light was on and my range said "You're having a laugh sunshine"

Cooler will be covered, as previously stated. I got the bits for a bargain sum as a mate had got them for his own A4 but has decided to do something else.
