RE: Max Mosley

Can't say i'll shed too many tears if this results in his departure from the FIA presidency. The man is an intransigent, tin pot dictator (dare I say a "little Hitler"). Anyone recall how he totally disregarded the 200, 000 + fans at Indianapolis a couple of years ago when refusing to entertain the ...

Any normally aspirated 911 up to (and possibly including) the 997 is certainly not going to feel quicker than the RS4 in a straight line. I've owned a couple of 996s, a C4, and an X50 kitted Turbo. The latter was MUCH quicker than the RS4, the former, I would say, was marginally slower. In terms of ...

I believe they can also do complete wheel resprays if required.

Well, I had the damaged wheel refurbed today. As it turned out Dave didn't come in person, but actually sent a colleague by the name of Jon Salmon. Jon did a great job on the wheel. You genuinely cannot see where the damage was, and the paint matching is first class. Overall a top job, and a top blo...

Looks like a top quality piece of work. One small note of caution. Given that the purpose of a splitter is to "modify" the airflow under the car, is there a danger that by incorporating a scoop. you could have unanticipated effects on the airflow, and possible alter the high speed handling character...

RE: Anyone know how to reattach an RS4 door mirror

That's what i thought, but it doesn't seem to want to pop back. Have applied as much pressure on it as i dare, and it won't go back into place ??

RE: Re: RE: How many B7 RS4s was produced?

Wow, that's not many at all, and probably bodes well for solid residuals.

Anyone know how that compares witht he number of E46 M3s in the UK ?? I'd imagine that the number will be a lot higher. Obviously, early E46 M3s are now as cheap as chips.
