No seano really good .... The youngest guy/kid did the job for me and he treated my te37s and car with with nothing but respect :-) although I was hovering over him the whole time ....as I have had some crap experiences with tyre and rim shops in the past !!

Haha beers are always included but best of luck with trying to drink the fridge dry!

I usually use Bob Jane but only take the wheels and tires in there for them to fit then put em on at home. But i need a wheel alignment i think, not sure if i trust them with my car

good to hear, was he a tall/skinny bloke?

haha i didn't watch the bloke that did my allignment at tyrepower but they did a good job and took care of the car.

that would make me nervous, but if he did a good job then it's all good. I bet everyone would of been starring at your car in there, most people in Mackay aren't used to seeing cars that aren't commodores.

I have a Canon 550D, facebook absoloutly destroys the quality of the photos but, I upload them to Flickr because it doesnt really affect quality. I have about 500 photos from F1 but unfortunatly most of them are from behind the fence I was sitting at, but anyway, learnt from our mistakes this year and will get seats at the back so I can zoom over the fence next year :)

The Merc's run an AMG Motorsport 5L V8, amazing looking and sounding engine, I might upload a video, they really sound better in real life then they do on TV.

I might try and upload a video

Might buy a 60D next year

Took an A4 for a drive here in Townsville today half hoping it would talk me out of it a bit. But wow what a nice car to drive

Useless information for most, but just throwing it out there. Only car related thing I've done. Not enough time really to see any of the Townsville guys because of my busy schedule :P

If this rain F*@#'s off I can get a start on my engine next time im home. About time I did something about it.... then just have to get the link tuned

Nah was at a used car lot, was red, wasnt sold on that lol. They tried pretty hard..... I bet i get phone calls tomorrow

All good, I'll wait for one in white :)

Haha yep if he's clued on he will stay in touch with you. Do they come in sort of an Ivory Pearl white or just standard white? A4's look awesome lowered with a nice set of wheels, i particularly like the white/black combo

just a solid white gloss, nothing to special but effective. Look great with the S-line mags and LED lights which are the 2 things I want on the car. Full S-line kit will be the go but can live without it

Probably wont lower it, it was so nice to drive in standard form I wouldnt want to ruin it

Weird with the CVT, driving along sitting at 4000rpm constant with my foot down. Was pretty speedy for the size with the 1.8Turbo

Yeahhhhh I havent been talked out of it at all lol

    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
    • OK, if it idles at 1000+ with the AAC, its not an idle airflow problem. The cold start valve just gives extra air when the engine is cold, but you have enough air without it to idle at 1000. I think you are back to a fuel problem, sorry. Can you see the fuel pressure staying constant or does it drop as the revs drop to a stall?
