Cleaned the RS4 - Few evening shots :)

[RobBentley]

Got a little bored after cleaning the car, decided to try some low-light shots. Figured I'd share them with fellow petrol heads

NICE ROB.
the cabin looks a nice place to be aswell.

 

[obi_waynne]

Very cool, lovely shots. I particularly like the interior shots.

Can I use them around the main site? (Pretty please!)

Wayne - If you want to use any, the full 15.1MP copies live here (including a few I didn't post above)

I'm afraid close up some are a little grainy. I had to use a pretty high ISO due to my having yet to purchase a tripod...

Fair enough - I do datacentres, servers and shizzle.. I don't get involved with content

Great pics Rob cheers for sharing. Car looks well smart.

MA = :mrgreen:?

 

[MasterAuron]

Lol green with envy boss!

 

[T9 man]

Rob, did you ever get that Milltek exhaust system fitted?

 

[RobBentley]

Rob, did you ever get that Milltek exhaust system fitted?

Literally just driven it home from my mates garage having fitted it...

Old system removed...

New system fitted...

 

[pgarner]

Nice shots there mate.

whats the milltek like on it then?

 

[RobBentley]

Same sort of tone, although slightly "smoother" sounding for want of a better description. Louder, but not hugely - but its only been on 20 miles. Like the Milltek that went on my mates Golf GTi, it'll take a few hundred miles to burn off all the crap and come good. I'll report back in about a week!

 

[trijoetri]

gorgeous!

 

[turbonutter69]

Look sweet buddy. Very nice.

 

[RobBentley]

Cheers all.

I'm taking the car up to Viezu in Bromsgrove on 9th October to see how much power its actually producing. It's meaningless number to be fair, as whatever it produces it goes like a bat out of hell, but I'm just curious.

Everyone knows as an after effect of FSi injection, the 4.2 V8 FSi engine never quite reaches the 414bhp stock that Audi quote thanks to carbon build up, but Milltek claim 20bhp from their cat-back and Celtic are confident in 30-35bhp gains from the remap over whatever the car had to start with.

 

[geraint13]

you should open a book rob ? lol
will guess at 458 bhp.
hope its more for you, but good luck anyways

 

[RobBentley]

I'm guessing around 410-440bhp to be honest.

A lot of these engines roll between 370-390 stock

380 + 35 + 20 = 435bhp

As long as I hit the 400bhp mark, that'll be good enough for me tbh.

 

[geraint13]

so how do audi get away with claimimg 414 then if they only roll out at 370-90 ?

 

[RobBentley]

God knows, I believe there was actually a legal case ages back - but its commonly known they don't produce the figures Audi claim. They *might* for about the first few thousand miles before the carbon arrives... god knows.

Viezu rolled an R8 recently which produced a 'poor' 365bhp stock. That said, the R8 isn't a slow car - the wide power band makes this engine fly as apposed to ultimate peak power.

That said, Viezu lifted the R8 to 406bhp through software - combined with 15-20bhp from an exhaust I would be looking at ~ 426bhp under that theory.

 

[RobBentley]

I'm convinced mine is a 'strong' engine though. It feels loads more than 35bhp more powerful than my remapped R36 was.. and the R36 and RS4 weight pretty much the same. It also lives on V-Power and makes daily visits to 8500rpm =D

 

[geraint13]

change my guess then rob lol.
will go for 447, with fingers crossed lol

 

[ronniecalcutta]

Awesome dude !
