Also, going to Chasers Motorworks on Monday. Ordering in a Nistune board and also booking in my 90k km service with them.

All up, including service, supply of board and tune should cost me $1100. Hopefully they'll look after me... Cant wait to see the difference after a tune!

Chasers seems alright, a lot of nice show/ race cars are always in there. My old office in the same strip. Good bunch of guys but that was 3 years ago.

Let us know how you go with Chasers and the work they do. I would be most interested.

That looks like a nice car. Very rare combo of black, factory RS4s manual and sunroofs. These cars don't come up very often in that factory spec.

thanks mate :) i'm looking at possibly a new front end though... just have nfi what to look for at the moment!!

i wish my rs4s was black :(

I love black, but its a bitch to keep clean!!

That won't fit your car as it is for a series one and you've got a series two. Check out Import Monster, I got my NA grill (pretty much the same as the one in your link) through them for about $180, and it only took about a week to get from Japan to Tassie. One like this:

Thanks mate. That should fit straight into my S2? Or do you need to modify it further to fit it?

That should fit straight on as far as I know. Series 2 grills have the holes for the fog lights, series 1 grills don't. Apart from that they are pretty standard as far as I am aware. Mine just fitted straight on when I got it.

Seeing as I'm located in Deer Park and fairly close to you, happy to let you take mine off and trial fit it on yours to make up your mind. :thumbsup:

Mine is the second grill and painted black but it now is a bit flakey, suppose it'll still give you an idea how it'll look.

I have the second one on my white car, but it has been painted black with the badges unclipped, so no chrome.

I'm happy with it on a white background, might be too much black for a black car.

It came like that imported, but I did notice you can get similar mesh at all the auto (and hardware?) stores :)

never had a problem at all, had the car well over two years now, and not a single problem from the po-po

(considering I've got a carbon fibre hood, bov, fmic, pod, no cat and 3' turbo back... :D)

they prob like... hmmmm volvo... nice volvo... now where's the skyline that has that bov.. *turns head*

I vote get the mesh and see what you think dude .. I think it looks way better than any of the stock grills.

If you are not too sure better to spend less cash and get it looking a little nicer while you make up your mind.

Although most member seem to have stock grills so I'd keep yours

Heres the front of mine with the series two grill if you want to know exactly what yours would look like

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
