Where is that link for the rubber wheel that removes 2 sided tape?
Shout out from a Polish in UK!!
Neither
Can u turn and re drill the rotors
Audi all the way
Those Tail light engineers should get together with the engine designers. Imagine the repairability. 😀
1 huge thumb screw, transmission clips in place and one big wiring harness plug and the engine is out.
Hi Aaron!
Hey! The headliner! No cheating here! It's not finished.
I was gonna say. Is no one gonna mention the headliner!!
Preach! It really lets the car down. It hurts my OCD badly to look at..
I was watching it as he drove. As a tall guy I cringe at the thought of static cling dropped headliner on my hair. Glad some one else caught it too
It's, not his car, so it's probably not part of the budget. The owner is probably going to have it done on his own.
@@p-townshankzilla2654 maybe so.. But it's neither "Finished" nor "Car Perfection" ;)
Hey Alex, long time subscriber and first time commenter. I'm a 68 year old Italian man (Papa) living in New England and am a care enthusiast (fanatic). I have to thank you for your awesome videos for not only their entertainment value but more importantly the educational value. You have a great way of connecting with your audience. I can only speak for myself but your genuineness and down to earth way that you present your material is so instructional on a level that even a novice or someone that's never worked on cars can understand. I also think you have a great family and I appreciate that you are a devoted Husband and Father. I love your stories of Mom and Italy. I wish I lived closer, I'd love to come and meet you and see your shop and cars in person. Thanks for what you do and how you do it. Al
Sadly i could only like your comment because they don't have a love it reaction.
Awesome
Totally agree with your comment Sir!
Go write a book somewhere dude 🙄
@brandonb88 why? You don't like it, don't read it.
I’m 100% Polish…live just south of Milwaukee…..those guys at the Collision center are amazing!! Like you, I could watch it all day….pure talent!
Love the Audi 🙌🏻
Kurwaaaa
When this vehicle was first released, I was working at Automobile Magazine in Ann Arbor, MI. I had the pleasure of sitting in the passenger seat while it was being flung around the Waterford Hills race track that Automobile Mag would rent for their Top10. I was taking voice notes while talented race drivers on staff would wring every little bit out of it. Nice to see it rescued.
The fuel filter screw restoration changed my life!
The screw.....did in fact..............not come out again.
I will always remember where I was when I witnessed it.
It's Saturday morning. I just cut the grass and now I'm sitting down, drinking a cold bottle of water, and watching my favorite automotive TH-cam channel. I always look forward to watching Alex on Saturday mornings.
It’s not cut the grass. It’s mowed the lawn. Wow!
oddly enough i had the same routine today 😂😋
@@Tig-Wan well, what if he cut it ?
Those who mow the lawn are fun at parties
Saturday 3:27P.M. just started cutting grass. Hungry now that Alex mentioned food. 😂
I am from Poland and I live in Poland. I have been watching you for a long time. I had a feeling that the painter is Polish.
Same here!
Me too! 😂
Ja tak samo 🤣
Those rotors aren't in two pieces to allow the pieces to be replaced separately, they're floating brake rotors. Floating brake rotors can reach higher temperatures without warping because they are not directly bound to the center.
Normally, warping from overheating happens because the rotors are hot and the center is not, at high temperatures the expanded and softer metal of the rotor loses the battle with the stronger, colder centre and buckles where the metal is hottest. Floating rotors are attached in a way that allows this to happen without stressing either the center or the rotor.
An added bonus of floating rotors is that the rotor and center can be made of different materials, allowing the brakes to be lighter.
Sikkens paint was by far my favorite back when I was spraying. Good to see proper PPE being used in the booth! I lost a co-worker to polyisocyanate sensitization. Beautiful work!
There's something very satisfying about watching experienced craftspeople making their difficult work look effortless.
It makes my heart full knowing someone is giving this legendary Audi the attention it deserves. One of the greatest cars ever made IMO.
I'm Polish from Rockford, Illinois. Tons of Polish and Italian migrated here back in the day, including Chicago. Love your channel brother.
Looks like the headliner needs a bit of touch. Easy job with a spray glue and a bit of fabric (black alcantara - maybe 🤔). Greetings from Poland to all fans of this channel 🙏
Every video it drives my OCD crazy seeing that headliner. 😂 It’s definitely one of those things where you should use the correct adhesive because it sucks having to do it over again.
Sunday morning in Australia (when Alex's videos come out). Just made the kids breakfast and now sitting on the lounge with them watching our weekly dose of LSC🎉
Man between you and Chris Sullivan, you two have the absolute best car channels. We appreciate you guys!!!
Who’s Chris Sullivan?
Chris Sullivan is awesome and super underrated as well. A lot of crossover as well both have built a Lightning, Cobra, AMG, and Corvette.
@@Tig-Wan Chris is worth checking out for sure.
@@Tig-Wan@ChrisSullivan69 has one the best car channels! Very underrated
+1 here for Chris :)
Sealer is basically thinner primer that doesn’t build like primer. Primer needs sanded before painting on it if you want it to look really good because it goes on fat and makes waves. Sealer is ready to paint because it goes on thing and smooth.
Hi Alex, can you give us a rough cost of the repaint job? You used to give us cost break down in old videos which I really like.
That’s anywhere from $3k-$4k I’ll bet.
@@Patrick94GSR It’s way more than that, trust. I would say double that amount.
@@AlbertoGomezSE3P I wouldn’t doubt it. It’s why I’ll probably have to learn to paint myself to repaint my old Integra GSR one of these days, when I get a bigger place.
@@AlbertoGomezSE3PI was going to agree but then I realized they only painted the rear of the car. Sikkens is expensive but I don’t think it should have been $6k-$8k for what they did.
@@AlbertoGomezSE3Pno it wouldn't be double. If he's used them Before, they would offer cheap service rates. My painter would charged $800 to do that work.
I want an RS4. This is the definition of a street beast.
Those new brake discs are absolutely gorgeous
get one they fucking tule ❤ my rs4 would never sell it unless I had 2
I appreciate you highlighting all these wonderful tradesmen. Please continue to do so. It's nice to see more of the side cast of characters.
I always wanted to know how to restore a fuel filter screw. This channel is so educational! 😀
You've unlocked the first achievement of becoming a fuel filter screw aficionado.
My great grandfather came over from Poland during WW1 and fought for the US. So I'm 3rd generation and very proud of my heritage. Thanks for the shout-out. Those gentlemen do some damn fine work, it sucks they are getting towards the end of their careers. Hopefully they pass their knowledge on to someone.
So refreshing to see tradesmen that clearly know what they are doing, the painter can make or break a bodyshop, Lupe is solid gold!
Arizona student auto tech here. Love the content...been watching for years. Your vids help me with my schooling... extra study material 😂. Thanks Alex
As a detailer i am absolutely into that high gloss polished look 🤩
Good morning from Regina, Saskatchewan.
We started our day with everything bagels with garlic herb cream cheese.
Legit Street Cars is a part of every Saturday morning.
Perfect way to start any Saturday
dude i just had breakfast and your video gets me ready to work in the garage on saturdays lets gooooo
Hi Alex, my step-sons paternal great grandfather was Polish and actually flew with the RAF during the Battle of britain as part of 303sqn, so thats a great honour for him, I also have alot of friends whom I have worked with over the years in the UK that are Polish, they are great ppl, very hard working
Absolutely love this rebuild! I have such an emotional attachment to this car. I had an 2006 a4 as my first car had it for several years and absolutely broke the bank… but all that money was totally worth the experience of the 6speed manual Quattro. I’ve had several Audi’s after my a4 but nothing compares to this chassis and year of the car! honestly I’ve been wanting to find an b7 rs4 that was needing some live like this one. So happy to see you put this back on the road!
I had an '06 A4 as well. B7 was the best generation.
Man that rs4 is absolutely beautiful! Perfect wheel choice! Those wheels look like they should have been put on that car from the factory. Also a HUGE fan of blues on cars. So cool!
Can’t go wrong with BBS CHR’s on an RS4.
I love the Astro eraser wheels. FYI I once learned the hard way on a fiberglass spoiler that it will eat right through if it’s not metal. Luckily it was the mating surface and not where someone would see my mistake!
3m has a multi layer rubber eraser wheel. Its like 5 1/16 thick rubber disks, you can use it on fiberglass and plastic. Also a new rubber valve stem and drill works on fiberglass hatches.
I also learned the hard way on a plastic rear bumper 😂
I'm polish from Poland and I am watching your channel since garage videos! I love your content and you are my favourite mechanical youtuber :D I am always waiting for the new uploads. Cheers 😎

I'll tell you what I enjoy the most about you and your channel. And it is how meticulous you are about doing the most perfect job possible. The cleaning is unbelievable. No left over screws, no scratches, obvious ones anyway. It should be how everyone works on anything. You just excel at it naturally. Love your channel, you make it awesome.
I watch your videos because you're a real tech. I have been a tech for 20 years. From some of you videos you mentioned your age so we are the same age. ( don't forget to stretch and take your ibuprofen and hydrate). Many moons ago when I worked at a European specialty shop, I was told that the grey coating was an anti corrosion and break in coating for when you bed the pads.
Alex have you ever thought on buying a Volvo wagon, fixing it, detailing it and give it more power? I would love to see some Volvo content on the Channel and I'm sure you would love to hear the Volvo 5 cylinder roar!
An 850R would be awesome
@@Masterplan15 it would be cool, but they are expensive 😭, it would be better for Alex to buy a P2 Volvo with a T5 engine, they are more plentiful than a 850R especially because they make the same amount of power, yes the 850 is more simple, but the P2 looks better in my opinion and are cheaper
@@Masterplan15 well, Alex will choose anyway, but lets hope he gets a Volvo wagon in the meanwhile
Awesome video Alex! That body shop is so much better than 90-95% of most body shops that I have seen around me. Top end repair, no doubt!!
Considering they use Sikkens they definitely are.
Would you rather drive an Audi, Mercedes or BMW?
Bmw on top
Mercedes
Non
Toyota celica as advertised by Scotty Kilmer 🤣🤣🤣
Mercedes 100%
😂@@sleepysamk1400
Don’t know if someone already said it, but the exhaust was active. You pushed the sport button on the steering wheel or on the central console and it would open up a flap in the exhaust to make it sound better. Also the sport button changed the way the accelerator requested torque to the engine. I found some documents regarding this car and the engine and I’m really glad I did because I love this car
Alex, I love your channel. There have been more car channels than I can count that I have followed since inception (for years) and recently they have all taken huge branding/marketing changes. Their channels are trash now. You're killing it! Your taste in cars is great, your content is always interesting, and there is a TON to be learned from your videos. Keep crushing it and providing the content that you enjoy and your fans love.
Thanks brother! Appreciate you watching!
What's your favorite Audi of all time?
The old 5000 Quattro with the BBS . 007 drive one (Timothy Dalton)
I daily a 500hp S5. And would only change it for a 5 cylinder. Quattro life.
This one funny enough.
I’ve always loved the look of the S7.
I really like the RS3
Headliner???
If you are using body filler with hardener containing isocyanates, please, please, please don't smell it. It should be treated like 2k paint as the hardener is toxic
I had a 2014 RS5 and it was a dream car for me to own when I was young growing up watching Top Gear (original). I saw Jeremy in the first RS on the show and I fell in love. I decided to do a Stage 2 tune - yes, on an NA engine - with the TCS tune as well and I all I can say is WOW! If you want to see the revs REALLY slap up once you have your engine healthy, it is wild what this tune did to the car!!! Highly suggest!!!!!!
Yea especially if it’s the JHM tune is so nice on the RS5 engine and transmission.
I am a professional paint mixer currently like Lupe, it’s a very satisfying job. We use spectrophotometers to colour match customers cars which allows us to use a paint system to find best matches for paint across different brands, it’s great for matching paint on older cars as with common colours will have had multiple shades while coming off of different production lines.
To answer your question….I would rather crawl on my hands and knees over tacks than drive any of them.
He said drive not own.
@@Oo-IIII-oO Apparently you didn’t bother to read my post entirely. I also said drive…🤷🏼🤷🏼🤷🏼
Somewhat funny answer I guess, if a bit predictable.
I almost always watch around 5:30-6am Sunday morning. So I sit back and drink a cup of coffee or two while I take in the latest build.
I'm genuinely crying happily looking at this car! I'm 28 years old and this is my dream car with a dream color 🥺♥️
Hope you can own one. Great car and they will be collectors cars one day.
This is one of the best looking Audi's ever made, seeing it on camera doesn't do it justice💯
Fucking right it is love mine brother very $$$ to maintain but man what an epic sedan :-)
all your work = is like german factory trained = in America = 100% total top quality !
54:11, How about that G-Wagon next Alex? LOL, the one behind you :D
LSC is my favorite car TH-camr because he cleans everything he takes off.
That's funny I'm Polish and been watching you for years living from Australia and the minute I seen this guy I was 100% sure he's Polish haha! They are really solid with their work! Pozdrawiam!
Gloss - is the answer 👍 I have watched Alex from way back when he first started and nobody does this stuff better. Thanks for keeping it real.
He got some sweet volvos there. Always love to see US spec 740s
Hi I’m Polish 🇵🇱 but permanently living in central Scotland 🏴 from 2010 I’m watching your videos from E55 series starting. And yes I am that guy who asked you few times for metrics measurements like Nm, crank HP 😁 best regards from Bydgoszcz Poland where I actually am on my holiday 👋
Great episode.. shout out to ohare for allowing you to record and be involved in everything with body work and painting!!!!!
Audi B7 RS4 owner here. The stock exhaust is valved. Pressing the S button opens the valves and I believe improves throttle response.
I've ALWAYS loved these RS4's! What an amazing daily for the midwest too!
As an RS4 guy I loved seeing you rescue this car! You should buy it!!!! Thanks to your inspiration I took my RS4 Cab out for some top down driving today!
Appreciate you still doing long form content that I can enjoy at work without flipping videos every 20 mins. Awesome car brother!
Polish for the win! Love the videos. It's always a highlight to my day when I see a new video posted. Inspires me when I watch to get a project of my own and start tackling things I haven't done before.
I had a 2008 RS4 in D Grey but always loved SB. This channel is woefully under subscribed, should be 5M subs! Love it.
Thanks, Alex for the videos on this Audi. The car turned out beautifully and yes, I'm a big fan of the color. I hope this beauty goes to a good home. Phenomenal job by you and the body shop. This awesome 2007 car looks better than some of the 2024's that are rolling around on the streets these days.
Nice mini-series Alex, your video's always drop late Saturday night here in Sydney Australia, so I always watch them first thing Sunday morning, great way to start my Sundays, and the meal of choice is breakfast...
Thank you for saving this beauty! Has always been one of my dream cars!
Alex, from what i have learned the 2 pc Rotor Concept is not regarding replaceability of the ring, but because of the different expansion of the ring under heat/load compared to the hub element. Different materials, more of a lose coupling.
They’re suppose to dissipate heat better.
I had the 4.2liter V8 in my Audi A8 around 2002 all aluminum body Quattro! What a great ski car. I took it to seven states skiing in one year!
The RS4 was an aspirational car for me, early in my career. Had a buddy with this exact blue in South Africa, so this restoration's been quite personal Alex. And honestly, including the body work and wheel resto - just loved it! Great vid, even if I'm biased!
REALLY well done Alex. Love the car, love the colour, and love your work. So good to see the end of a miniseries.
Alex, man you in a paint booth brought back so many memories for me as a kid. My dad was a painter for 40+ years and I remember watching him outside the booth painting cars. I even have his old paint jacket that he won in a paint competition. If you ever see this message I would love to send you a picture of it.
We did a color science workshop and it was some seriously interesting stuff!! Like you said Alex, the colors that you would never think of to make shade variations and adjustments would end up nailing these environmental stage changes spot on. What was even more interesting was depending on the tone of metal flake, it could be an entirely different color combo to achieve the same exact shade adjustment. There is a very cool science to it and there are some paint folks out there that this stuff just makes complete sense just the same way a gifts mathematician can just see the solutions as if they were picture images. Awesome stuff. 👍🏻😎👍🏻
FYI - the ASTRO 400e and 400e-ar are the decal removal tools he was using. Only about a dollar more for those two pieces on Amazon, and I'd trust a well know ASTRO brand over knockoff stuff any day, especially for less than $2 more.
You can find the same discs with Brembo parts code for like $450 each. Also if/when it needs a throttle body, it's the same part on the Z06 corvette. "Silver blade" corvette throttle body. Get the GM part number and save $800-$1000. Also, half polish here. Fond memories as a kid visiting relatives in Berwyn. Little old ladies wearing babushkas towing their carts around.
we use these rubber wheels to get rid of the glue when removing the balance weights on wheels as well. works like a charm
14:00 I was like damn that's gonna be a fast switcheroo😂😂😂😂
I really enjoy your videos and appreciate what you do. I aspire do the same thing and more. I have a lot to learn but im excited to do that! I absolutely love cars and bikes. Ive been a professional detailer for decades, but ready to evolve into more of my true passions. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge and doing it with a sense of humor!
So glad this car is in your hands, Alex. I’m always in the market for a sprint blue B7 RS4.
I usually don't eat watching your vids, but today I was finishing up a load of scones I baked over the weekend with some clotted cream and strawberry jam.
I'm a Finnish/ Swedish man living in Sweden. We have a lot of polish people Living here and it's a hard working people and very clever to find Solutions to problems.
so glad you decided to make a video on this car such a beautiful car whenever i have some time later this week im watching this episode!
Love how he’s in a full CSI get up and you’re just intere with your hair uncovered waving your arms around 😂
One trick on screws into plastic is to turn it backwards until you feel it drop into the thread groove, that way you don't cut a new thread every time you screw it in. It makes the threads last longer. Fix that headliner. :)
Mechanic from the uk here those fuel filters have pressure regulators in them hence a great idea to change it and I only use MANN filters as they are OE and made in Germany also noticed you didn’t show removing the rear carrier bolts they aren’t exactly fun great work buddy do most of these type of vag cars daily and drive one my self
In the north of west australia the mining Toyota hiluxes used to get very dusty MAF sensors. Always throwing p2006 manifold runner stuck closed. The hot wire ones we used contact cleaner and the newer style MAFs required short but several bursts of compressed air only. Very cool to see explanations in your videos now Alex.
I own a b6 s4 that’s in a very similar color with rotiform wheels! It is my first manual and first v8! It is timeless and gets heads turning anywhere I go! Great videos!
@LegitStreetCars Factory mufflers have a valve that opens with the S button, hence the air lines in the bumper, that is why you didn't notice any difference when you hit the button in the last video. S button changes the sound of the exhaust to a much deeper tone, uses more aggressive fuel maps from ECU and on some models pumps air into the driver seat side bolsters to pump them, up for a tighter seat feel.
I'm 50% polish. Love this video and this car. It's my favorite model of Audi.
What a car! Loved this series, we need more cars like this! 👌
I have learned a lot about working on cars from you, thank you!
Listen, the whole " Guys who fix/paint/bodywork etc stories " ..... This needs to be in every video :D. Love it. Awesome series on the RS4 ( one of my personal favourites, wish i could afford one, I own an S3 3 door ) and also legit one of my favourite auto channels ever on TH-cam..... Ever. See what i did there 🤣. Keep it up Alex 🦾
Great video Alex, a nice change of pace, refresh everything that I thought I knew about body work. Thanks
Great quick turn around, love the RS4, Glad you didn't have to sort the DRC or the Oil Cooler lines, as they are not fun, and like you said, Chain at the back of the engine is not a fun job. Sure you have been told, but you have had many many comments, as you are a popular man lol, the exhaust vacuum lines are there from the standard Audi Sport backbox, when working the vacuum holds one exhaust flap in each tail pipe open, and when you hit sport, it closes the valve, most get stuck over time if not maintained, so its a mute point, but if you want a choice, a bit of oil and patience can free them, but from time dot, in UK in any Avent, Milltek was the way to do to release the V8s full sound. Keep up the great content. Been following since the high mileage M5, and still loving the content.
That's 1 of the best audis ever made my cousin brought 1 bk in 2007 and I loved it ever since amazing car
Well at time of watching this video, I'm drinking some brews and chillin and watching on my TV. Love the videos even tho I'm not a Mechanical type guy , but I do love cars in general
Gosh this is what you call a thorough complete job such an awesome video
I haven't looked forward to sitting in front of a screen on Saturday mornings this much since they stopped doing cartoons on tv when I was a kid! Thanks for making Saturday mornings great again.
Just a heads up, the 3M eraser wheel will probably be cheaper, found on Amazon. I detail cara for a dealership and that's what I use. They are awesome!
I'm Polish too and let me tell you, the stuff they did in Poland back in the days, cars came out better than new lol. To show how good Poles were back in the days, there was a joke I've heard long time ago:
A man had his metal roof blown off by tornado. He wanted to get it fixed instead of putting a new one on so he took it to the closest body shop to have it straighten out. 5 days later he gets a call: Sir, I'm not sure what you did with your car but it's fixed and it's ready for pick up 🤣
