Hi all, 

I've been told I should intro myself in the wagoneers section, so here I am :)

Bought my series 2 rs4 about a year ago with 87000kms on the clock, I was skeptical about whether that was genuine but I've found nothing to contradict it so far! I am the first Australian owner as well. 

Since buying I've changed the wheels, chucked in some BC coilovers, put in an alpine head unit, put in a hks intake, and done the boost solenoid ground mod to get around the 2 stage boost system. I've just had a 225lph walbro fuel pump put in but am currently having issues getting the direct wire mod to work for me.

I'm extremely stoked with the car considering this is my second car and the first one I've modded and worked on beyond minor servicing. 

Thanks for the wealth of info you guys have accumulated on this forum, it's been real handy.

Cheers, 

 

MG

From this angle looks very similar to my S1. You have the advantage of being able to easily slot in a Nistune chip so with that and a manual (for now) boost tap you could add a little extra zip...

Ahh they do look similar. I gotta get me a clear indicator and black weather shield above the windows. Looks good. Extra boost is definitely on the agenda and I'll have to look into this nistune chip too! First gotta clear up a misfire that I'm getting and get the timing belt done :( no fun mods for a minute :(

    • I'm pretty much healed up post surgery so I spent another almost full day out in the shed re-arranging everything to make room for all of the shit that I've taken off the car.  I need to get everything off the floor and away from the car for when I start making a massive mess stripping off the remaining body deadener and then for the the painting process.  Almost got the shed to a point now where I feel I can actually start working on the car again (clean shed clean mind or something!).  Almost 11 years of accumulated car parts, building supplies, tools, junk, etc have taken a long time to get in some sort of order again!  Most stuff is now boxed up and in the back shed if it's not car related.  Most people would still be horrified walking into my shed but it's significantly better than it was before!   For those that saw my separate post the other day, yeah I ordered one.... This version- I convinced myself to stop being a clown, wake up to yourself and realise it will take you 5 weeks to make one by which stage you're over working on the car again...  Maybe I am getting on top of my "mental ailments" and making smarter choices.... $1450 delivered which will take my miserable half-dutch arse a few days to get over having spent that much!  If I don't have a use for it straight away after my car is off it I might even see if there is a "rental market" for them.  See if anyone wants to hire it for a period of time.  $25 a week or something like that.  I'll worry about that when my car is actually ready to come off it though as that might be a while away!! There's now no excuses now for not ending up with an underside you could eat off! Away for kids sport the next few weekends so hopefully can get the rotisserie assembled ready to go for the car to go straight on it the next available weekend.    
    • I always use my Karcher, but it's only a little one that I picked up from Supercheap  The only issue I ever had with a pressure washer was when I was a kid cleaning coaches, they had a hi-po industrial sized petrol jobbie that would strip paint if you got to close I saying this, we have a fairly high power washer at work with a diesel powered heater that sprays water at about 60°c, it works great for removing old wax and road grime on the underbody after some foam cannon action, albeit from a "stand off" distance of a few feet
    • Sorry no - The sandtrap adventure ended the day, happened at the end of the last session. At that time I wasn't hearing any weird noises nor were the brakes shuddering anymore. It was only when watching the videos that I remembered I had these sounds early on!
    • Did the noise appear after your sand trap adventure? Could be something got dislodged and is playing rub rub. Even a rock wedged somewhere.
    • Is there a shroud around the tailshaft spline into the back of the box? They can rub and make a horrible noise if they are not on straight/damaged. The heat might have caused it to grow too much in one direction and rub.
