Re: How noisy is a non res, non valved miltek?

i want more noise but not so much that is drones all the time and is generally just too loud. I had a non-res valved fitted by MRC and like the increase in volume EXCEPT for the drone between 1000-2200rpm which I found totally unacceptable as I had to completely change my driving style to avoid it....

Re: Tyres - Recommendations?

My problem is my current 255/35/19 Michelin ps2 are rubbing the arches (with spacers on or off ) and I was hoping the 275s might not rub Something's not right with your car. I had 255/35x19 PS2s when we were in France a few years back, and my Avant was fully (yes really, fully) laden with as much w...

I have original Super Sport + suspension and have run 265/35/19 for a week to test out and found them ok. Audi checked again last month and found nothing wrong, thing is t...

Re: Top job at mk upholestry

Wow, that looks great
Do you think they have replaced it with stronger leather than the original?
Just wondering if it will wear off as quick?
