Hi Siena,
Just a little bit curious this project car your working on is it LHD? and do you intend ship it home ? i ask as my experience of the standard RS4 is that its lower than the standard A4 estate, the suspension is real hard great on the autobahn, somewhat challenging on British roads and completetly impossible on Niaja roads.
If you use it in the UK and you stretch that power keep the german plates on, it might just save your licence, otherwise try the M6 toll i suspect they have an unspoken rule to look the other way if you hit the high notes.
Otherwise great car and great project, stay Blessed.
Thanks for your comments, brother. It's a UK-spec car, and RHD. I don't intend to ship it to Nigeria. Yes, it's lower than the standard A4. I attend regular track days, and quarter-mile sprints all through the summer, mostly during weekends. So, come the week, I've got all the bile out of my system, and no need to go mad on the public roads!  |

Wow, i am so impressed your "PIMP MY RIDE" (CABLE TV SHOW) expert doing Audi RS4 project. You remind of my former two-years male best friend, who is deaf, former body shop/auto repair fixing up his used car himself. I forgot which model/year (he sold it). Now he fixes up his Harley Davidson sport biker as hobby mechanic!!!
My dad used to be licensed mechanic, still today he commits as hobby on weekend. Too old for pimping my ride stuff, only focus on classic Dodge pickup truck as well as modernized bulldozer tractor and farm tractor he like to fix up that he went to the auto auction purchasing 3 wrecked school buses that he can take "3 engines" out for those pickup truck/tractor fitting. Three empty school buses are used as "storage shed". My parent's property are big enough with 10 acres land surrounding house and two home-made giant working gargage shop. My dad also was licensed home builder/carpenter too.
I wish I could hire you to be my "PIMP MY RIDE" to spice up my old car (4th car purchase) turning into brand new one.

Uspry, sounds like your dad's quite a guy! It IS interesting, watching a car evolve, turn into what you want it to.
The Americans love the RS4, it was never available in the US, the regular A4 / S4 was though.
You dad's lucky though, I'd give a lot to have that sort of space surrounding my property, but maybe later, who knows?
What make and model is your car?

Children will have to eat brake pads, and wash them down with hydraulic fluid, or oil! Well, it's what I do for a living, so my car must showcase my work. It's not a car I'm ever going to sell either! |

Pictures of my previous project car, a 1987 Audi Coupe quattro. Original 2.2 5 cylinder 10V engine (136 horsepower) was binned in favour of a 2.2 5 cylinder 20V turbo, from a 1995 Audi RS2.
With a bit of fettling, replacing the original KKK-k26 turbo with a huge KKK-K29, 4 bar MAP sensor, Sport Quattro exhaust manifold, custom chargecooler, capacity increase to 2.5, topped off with a revised ECU map, power was increased from the RS2's original 315 horsepower, to 426 horsepower.
I managed a 3.98sec 0-60, the car weighed about 1,325 kgs.
Some pictures, different colours! Originally Panther Black Metallic, then Kiwi Yellow, finally she was Audi Inca Orange Pearl. . .

Took me days to get it to fit properly, as fibre glass isn't particularly nice to work with. . .
