i am selling my 1997 rs4 stagea, its white, auto, rb25, 115,500kms, 2 12 inch pioneer subs, panasonic head unit, genuine stagea floor mats, 19 inch chrome mags and also 16 inch original mags. 3 inch exhaust from turbo back with varex remote control cannon. white pearl paint (silky snow i think), has dual sun roofs

Bad points: it has asuspected cracked piston ring in cylinder 1, has had a leak down test whichshowed the cylinder having lower compression with air leaking past the pistonand not the valves (about 20psi lower than the other cylinders), have added aoil catch can to collect any blowby temporarily. Turbo has blown, have not yetinspected but i believe it needs replacing completely. Has some very minor dents inroof from hail. Has minor damage on front passenger side of vehicle (bumper only, Quater panel has been repaired) as well assome other minor scratches etc on bodywork. Currently has 19 inch mags of which2 have hairline cracks and slowly leak, also has a set of the standard 16 inch mags which needcleaning. The motor does start and run smooth and doesn't blow any oil whenidling or being driven sensibly.

The car is being sold in emerald qld as is where is for $2500

will be getting some photos together

    • Starter motors used to use the weight of metal (magnets) to provide torque. Now they use (more) current instead. This. It's completely normal.
    • So thing that had me stumped, but I think is OK....is that when it was up in the air, in neutral I had it running to bleed to coolant while I put the wheels back on. I noticed the rears were turning (slowly) which I'd never seen before 20250928_163512.mp4     Because there had been an issue with clutch slip due to pedal adjustment on the dyno, I assumed there was still and issue so spent some quality time upside down under the dash adjusting the pedal....but no matter what I did the wheels still turned in neutral. Even disconnected the master cylinder to pedal rod and same. In despair, I even removed the clutch slave so there was no chance of any preload causing it.....still happened. So either: 1. Something is not right in the bellhousing, or 2. Its a thing sometimes with cold, thick gearbox oil Internet says it might be 2, I hope so!
    • OK, few more things sorted and it is ready for a shakedown on 10-Oct, with one weird thing. Changed the run in oil and filter for the good stuff. 8l came out, about 8.5 went in with filter so that looks all good. Changed the starter (again), this time for a brand new one, works good. Interesting that the Taaaarks one is shorter than factory but spins harder, I guess electronics have moved on a little in the last 30 years. Will be nice to have a bit of extra space under there. Put the timing cover back on, and noted where the cam gears were set as a record.  Will need to double check the timing but it is pretty close. Also put the coil pack cover and intake snorkel back on. Exhaust Inlet Changed the water out for coolant, bled up nicely. Removed the rear brake pads (well worn factory sumitomo ones!), gave the hardware a good clean and reassembled. I've put bendix XP on the back again because the price is excellent at $150 a set and they worked well on the V37. Front pads have plenty so no issue there
