Picked this up the other day.

Spec is:

HR Coilovers
Porsche front brake conversion
Stainless exhaust with a decat
MTM remap
Rotiform 19's. Not of a fan of the 'scene' or 'dub' wheels whatever you call it but brand new tyres all round so they can stay!

Drove to Somerset to get it so it was a 400 ish mile round trip. Car performed faultlessly, until the engine light came on 50 miles from home. After reading the paperwork when it was mapped it said 'drained tank and filled with V Power'' so im guessing its because i put cheap fuel in! Hasnt come back on since.

A few snaps

Cheers guys!

I did wonder about the tyres, but they are new so they can stay until I decide what wheels i want.

Few vids for sound

Car looks great and the spec is awesome. Not sure why someone would spend all that money not to mention mapping on 99 ron to then fit the most budget nylon tyres for sale though?

I would sell the wheels and get some standard s4 items with oem (or better) rubber
Same person that thinks the wheels need changing rolleyes

In all fairness the wheels look ok they do suit it, but i will still get something more OEM at a later date.

Im quite suprised how big the boot is. Catered for 70 people (i overcooked by about 120%) and it swallowed it with ease



New rear lights arrived today!

Had the car on ramps today. Stock downpipe is still in place with the pre cats, small diameter (stock) size pipe leading to the 3'' exhaust. So i think a 3'' DP combo is in order!


Received my facelift headlights in the post, ive made a start wiring them in. Well ive got them wired in, they just dont sit flush at the moment, more wing surgery required!
