[Porkballs29]

Looking real good Adam. RS4's really do suit the Octy well. All though I am biased as I have the same fitted to mine lol.

Decided that i hadn't had the car apart for a while so was time to get it in bits again...

haha only joking when fitting the wide mouth the mastic was quite hard, not having used mastic before i thought this was normal turns out it wasn't as part of the grill started to fall in so i took it out fully.

So yesterday i took the bumper off and refitted the grill with tiger seal.

and then for the thousandth time i stripped off the throttle body and top boost pipe and repainted them.

and decided as the bumper was going to be off for a couple days it would be rude not to give the intake a bit of paint finally too...

Nice and shiny repainted boost pipe

oil had started leaking from my rocker cover gasket into the spark plug holes and also down the N/S of the engine so decided it was about time i swapped over the rocker cover with a new gasket.

then while very carefully refitting the intake without scratching it, it started p****** it down! so that was interesting, pictures of that on tomorrow

Jobs for tomorrow:

Finish fitting intake

refit bumper

fit braided fuel lines

fit booster to radio aerial

finally remove the last part of the old hands free kit!

[Adamweal]

fuel lines, radio booster, removal of old hands free kit and cleaning can wait until tomorrow as i took a trip over to pete's and then it started raining!

Oh and as seen in the last picture yes i do still need to get another braided hose finisher!
