What have you done to your Audi A4 B7 today?

Same difference, they all end up black anyway which is why mine is hidden.
Well today I windowed the block on the way to work.
You’re not supposed to be able to see rod bearings and the crank when you pop the bonnet
Wow. That could be a problem.

When the rain finally stopped I managed to get the new painted up S4 valance fitted, and found a very quick and safe way to get the old one off , that was a good start, fitted new S4 one , oh bummer , i'll need offset tips then.....
Glad I waited until it was fitted before ordering new tips....
I currently have 90mm tips so thinking going quad 90's now ….or should I stick with a safe set of 76mm tips.

For someone who just said they have "nice and clean" tips unlike a "messy oil burner" they look pretty dirty 
People with S4's have surely put bigger tips on and that should answer that... Really just needs some measuring which is what I thought you were doing/did, bigger is better obviously, could just save the agro and go an exhaust shop...

inside and outside are different things.....outside are allways clean , inside , well that's something else..
S4's have different boxes to start with and outlet positions are different, which is why the single outlet is on the outside edge of s4 valance when fitted with a tfsi oem silencer.

Finally sorted out the tips that will fit without messing around, and not overly expensive for the quality.
My current tips came from the same supplier and are very good quality .

Added some ‘go faster’ roof bars at the weekend... Just need a big heavy box to put on top of them, should help with the aerodynamics!
TNT man made a visit today with some nice new shinny tailpipes , very pleased with them.
Ordered them Tuesday evening , and they were here this morning from Cyprus, and the guys even supplied me with custom sleeves to fit my 50mm outlet pipework free of charge, brilliant stuff from that company.
So tommorow' s task is , weld them on and jobs a good one.

Mate gave me his old amp and 10” sub
Ripped out the stock Bose sub and used the space for the amp
Made a box which sits inside the 18” spare wheel, losing no boot space and keeps it OEM looking
Total build cost £8 just to buy some acoustic carpet, everything else was free

I too drained the intercoolers, washed and waxed!
And this, broke the rings! Any idea what glue should I be using to stick it back on? I have gorilla super glue but not sure whether it will withstand the heat.

Washed and 2 coats of wax, all ready for the winter, didn't bother with the wheels as they're going in for it to be refurbished although still haven't decided on the colour yet.
Rob, what colour you got?

I never used to be a big fan of quad tailpipes but fancied a change to the slash cut ones I fitted a few years back, so went for it.
Been out and finished the tip replacements this afternoon , just need to do some fine tuning on the L/R positions otherwise very happy with them.
They are not small but not overly large and don't stick out like space shuttle rockets...lol , well I like them .
Anyone wanting my old tips just drop me a line as i'll be putting them in the classified shortly.

My new wheel and gear knob acquired and fitted yesterday and cleaned this afternoon. What a difference the chrome accents and silver stitching makes to the otherwise rather dark, plain (but nice) interior!

After:
And the new gear knob
Im just now on the hunt for a RS4 style perforated handbrake cover but with some custom silver stitching to make a full set.

Today I fitted my new and freshly refurbed Le Mans wheels.
Really pleased with them. Just need to get some lowering springs and some spacers and then it will be perfect.

Most definitely not black mate, was thinking maybe chrome greyish basically a shade darker than factory with high gloss shine. I got until Tuesday to decide!
Today, had car up in the air trying to find out which front wheel bearing is noisy - But failed dismally as I can't find any play or looseness in them at all. If you drive along, from around 35ish onward, start to hear a steady droning sound - it's not particularly loud & doesn't change if I declutch & knock it into neutral it's just 'there'. It also doesnt seem to change if I steer from side to side (the usual way to differentiate If its Left or Right). Maybe not a wheel bearing? Any ideas anyone?
