Re: New tyre decision

Although mine were 19's, I changed over to Eagle F1's and it transformed the car (for the better).

Gutted :( no doubt he wont be, I shall write his introductory piece; Evo Dec 2013 After my time with the RS4, being handed the keys to a Focus Estate may seem like punishment for not reaching my targets (how much oversteer I can achieve on the way to work being one of them).

Re: Evo says goodbye to their RS4

As Dean stated the End of Term feature on the RS4 is in the Nov issue which came thru the post today. Apparently Dean is a fan of the B5 RS4 which is ironic seeing as it got the same sort of reviews from Evo when it was launched. I presume Dean hasn't formed that opinion from driving one because wh...

Re: Top Gear magazine Long Term Test RS4

Dean, do you witness frustration by the drivers during a shoot when they can't get Audis sideways for the camera? Nope. We all know they won't do riotous power-slides out of every slight bend on the road, unless it's an R8. It does make our jobs harder to make Audi's look dynamically exciting though.

Re: Top Gear magazine Long Term Test RS4

I couldn't find any custard so you'll have to put up with a bottle of table salt from the office. There isn't a good overview of the car park from the office and so I just picked a recognisable car for you... http://farm3.staticflickr.com/2875/9608226140_6fc4f6f448_c.jpg http://farm4.staticflickr.co...

Re: Top Gear magazine Long Term Test RS4

Dean There are appear to be other cars on your fleet that get more space for updates than I've ever seen about 'your' car It would just be nice to hear more about your overall thoughts given you have probably done more miles than many/any true owner Understood. If I was a reader i'd like to read mo...

Re: Top Gear magazine Long Term Test RS4

Evo have never done a review of the rs4 other than the pointless small write ups in long term tet - I can't understand why not? Unless I missed it completely but I don't think so... We reviewed the B8 RS4 at launch in Germany - Jethro Bovingdon wrote the piece and it was the lead driven of issue 17...

Re: RS6 C7 better than RS4 b8 ? Harris seems to think so...

Had an RS6 for a few days now. I prefer the RS4. Bombastic as the '6 is, it's too wide for our narrow roads and so you can barely use any of the performance available. Ride and steering does seem marginally better but the box is slow and I much prefer the RS4's powerplant too, who doesn't love revvi...

Re: Individual Setting

Quick question if poss please : In individual settings, I set engine to dynamic to open exhaust valves, but if I then drop the lever down to get the transmission from S to D, it then seems to close the exhaust valves again.. Anyone know if there'a a way I can get around this so I get the softer "D"...
