It's here! PDI will take place today and I'll be taking delivery of the car tomorrow morning.

Let the modding begin!

Dealer sent me this photo last night while I was playing golf - Somehow I prioritized that over going to pick up a new toy. First world problems, I guess

All tucked away post PDI in their lockup last night (it passed). T-minus 3 hours



Stay tuned!

Tick, tick, tick, tick.

Remember, despite what others might believe, blue IS the best color!

I was at my dealer today and they had a Navarra Blue RS5 in the showroom, First time I had that color up close. Really nice.

Also last night - Since Audi in their infinite wisdom decided to not offer an RS badged all-weather trunk mat, I made my own. Fit isn't perfect but I figure I can address that with a heat gun later if it really bothers me (it might).

Requirements:
Weathertech A5 trunk liner
Import Image Racing "Audi Sport" stickers
Carpet knife to cut out spots for the tie-downs (I think mine was actually for cutting synthetic turf)









Stay tuned!!!

Last mod the other night - I removed the stock 6.75" subwoofer in the spare tire area. You really need a soldering iron to remove the factory wires directly - I recommend going this route (rather than cutting) because the factory subwoofer wiring is pretty tight without much slack for a DVC sub with a larger magnet. You also need to "break" the Kicker "beauty ring" to get it to sit correctly inside of the factory plastic enclosure.

Replaced with:
Kicker 6.75" CompRT (48CWRT672) - DVC, 2-ohm

Also added:
Bruce Miranda/Mironics subwoofer splitter cable (thanks buddy!) - This will be necessary when I take the next steps addressing the factory B&O system over the next few days/weeks







Stay tuned!

ECS billet aluminum dipstick







Stay tuned!!!
