Thanks guys! I'm still thinking of paint schemes. But at least I finally got to break the motor in and drive it around a little.

Well, I think this build is close to dead. I really don't have anywhere to drive this thing and it's quiet loud and annoying for my neighbors. I'm glad it's helped some of you out though. Please feel free to ask any questions and good luck!

If anyone is interested in owning this car, I'll be posting it in the "sale" section within a week or two.

Haha nice! VW? The RS4's are fun little cars.

Yeah it's a 2nd generation GTI. Mid-engine RWD conversion

Build thread is here if you've got hours to spend reading

I wish they made an Audi RS4 body, just so it'd really be an RS4. Then again, I'm really partial to the VW/Audi family, having owned 5 or 6 of 'em by now.

After a few inquiries about part numbers I've realised I didn't include them in this thread. So here is a list of parts and their numbers.

I gathered this list from another forum member and also found it on HPI's forum.

I'm pretty sure they are the Integy MSR11 78mm shocks.
