Pete's OEM+ A3 Black Edition

[rdfcpete]

Hurry up and get those AP's on Pete  

Its gonna look Amazing mate  

Looking like next week dude. The rears will be a bit shy in the arches still but some BBS will put that right  

any more pic

Lovely Car! more pics?:]

Very standard at the moment bear in mind. Totally an OEM+ WIP project hence the dirty car and amateur photography 
With the AP's it'll be track low, which is what I'm aiming for. The good thing with the RS4's being 7.5J is that there shouldn't be any danger of rubbing.














And first fuel tank milestone, broke 600 miles to 55 litres/£77/141.9p ltr.

Very tidy! There is a black edition down the road from me, always worth a stare! Nice choice of mods too!

You know your car is sick Pete, they always are !!

Cheers for bringing over the dvd's for the sat-nav btw mate. Sorted the heated seats aswell 

See you sunday for the coiley's

^^^^^^ Thanks all

Have - but, I'm not too worried as the RS4's won't be on for too long and the new wheels will fill the arches more healthily 

Well, coilies and air filter went on today. Going to wait for them to settle in then re-visit. Happy with the rear so far, front needs a bit more tapping with the lowering stick I think.

Work began:





The 'never dirty' BE RS4's 








Few last minute rushed photo's showing the drop

















Pics aren't great but you can see how some wider wheels would compliment the arches in a stronger fashion and also that there's more room for drop particularly the front, some at the rear. I'll look at this next weekend when they've had a week of driving.

Cheers.

I've got some lovely wheels mate that will fill those arches properly. (18x8.5J ET45)

They'd suit the Audi too.

As new (boxed in garage) and to you....going cheap, (no tyres) 

[rdfcpete]

Thanks anyway Carlo, but Bimoto's aren't for me on the BE  I've still got my Turini's sitting in boxes and they'd have gone straight on if I wanted a motorsport look again.

Set my heart on CK's. Looking at ordering before Christmas I think.

Thanks Neil  Feels very nice to drive, the steering isn't quite as light now but we're talking margins over 4,000 miles of use.
I'd argue it handles better than my GTI did out the box and you can turn in even more confidently now with the coilovers on and it's only running Hankooks at the front, ContiSport2's rear.

I'm hoping a map will straighten the torque curve a bit which is the next thing I'm looking at... Having the power in one lump is fine but if the lump can be prolonged a bit, it'll be useful.

Looking good... Where did you get the coilovers pete, i'm trying to source my good womans younger sister a set, for a mk2 leon

It looks spot on there chum, you want it a bit lower?

Have you thought about a set of spacers, to bring the wheels out abit
