RS197 Albi Blue

So, i've bought myself a 197! I used to be an Audi S4 owner until last year when a house purchase beckoned and had to sell it. But the time has come to purchase a toy again and a 197 seemed about right really.

Got this last week, relatively cheap as it's due belts next year and its got the usual 2nd/3rd crunch, not too bad yet, but is looming! Purchased the car with the synchro hub kit anyway, so will fit in due course. I will be aiming to be doing track days next year, so will be doing some light stuff to it to make it track ready, not going full out on it though! Brakes and tyres will be first on the shopping list and then see what else follows that.

The car is pretty clean though, on 105k, with just a few bits of paintwork needing a bit of tidying, front bumper mainly! It's had a few mods already, Milltek resonated cat-back, Ramair induction, H&R springs and 20mm spacers on the rear

Anyway here's some photos:

And my S4 that was my pride and joy for nearly 10 years!!

First minor job ticked off tonight. The Ramair filter wasn't mounted anywhere, so was just dangling around in the breeze! Contacted Ramair yesterday and they sent me out a bracket in the post, FOC! The filter needs a clean, but at least it's mounted and held solid now.

Some more jobs ticked off the list yesterday.

- Had the tedious job of removing all the sticky back foam from the bumpers from previous number plates, due to me always wanting a shorter plate! The only issue with a shorter plate, is it reveals the screw holes in the bumpers, so that will need sorting at some point.

- Sunstrip fitted, simple but effective.

- Removed all the old excess audio cabling from a previous amplifier that was in the boot, which also meant getting the head unit seated properly as all the cabling behind it was pushing it forward!
