DirtyDaily Adventures - living with an R8

[DirtyDaily]

Much like last time you had a fast Audi.
Still prefer your Volvo 240.

I'm a bit of an Audi fanboi I must confess. Still sad for the day the 240 had to go.

That looks fantastic.... Look forward to seeing more updates.

Possible help needed from AutoShiters in the mechanic trade. I think I need some bits from TPS, mainly like the washers for the gearbox, diff, engine, etc. Also did some research and apparently the 6 bar fuel filters were superseded by 6.6bar ones but whenever you search for R8 filters it always just brings up the 6 bar ones. Don't want to end up with the wrong one. Apparently there is a reusable gearbox filter also but I can't find any decent diagrams.

I'm finding the usual YouTube video guides aren't as plentiful as they would be if it was a mk4 golf for example.

An R8 on Autoshite that isn't a Rover.

What a time to be alive.

Best of luck with it! With the engine where it is, I assume its the rear bumper that will have to come off every week?

I will be honest and admit that when I saw the thread title, what I pictured in my head was a Renner 8 😎
