I recently imported my RS4 from the U.K. to Australia and there were only 2 modifications I need to make to the car. Firstly the driver side mirror needed to be completely flat, and secondly 3 child seat anchors needed to be fitted. According to Audi Australia (and a couple of the guys on ozaudi.com...

I believe the import duties are very different (virtualy nill) if it is your personal car which you have owned for at least 6 months or maybe a year. I have owned the car for almost 2yrs but I my understanding is that I still have to pay customs duty, GST and even possibly Luxury Car Tax. (This def...

that cauz your govt wants to protect the local car industry. I see though that this is about to reduce, which'll mean cheaper RS's for AU. Kiwi, how much is an RS4 in NZ (if there's any for sale), and is it worth the effort to import into AUS? Are there any RS4's for sale in Australia at the moment...

Sounds about right. (I just thought it was a shed load of wind resistance holding the car back. )

So what is the top speed of an unmodded RS4? I hit an indicated 170mph (on the dial) last weekend in France before traffic dictated that I slow down.

The quality of the toll roads over there was suburb. I couldn’t imagine doing that sort of speed on any road in the UK – too much traffic & too bumpy.

I saw this report as well. It looked like a Misano S4 Avant (B6) to me.... still it was a good looking motorcar. (Esp. when it was airborne!)

To avoid this happening again I would recommend locking nuts (De Gard), and an aftermarket alarm with tilt sensors. Tilt sensors aren’t necessarily a guarantee of safety. My sister-in-law has just had her wheels nicked off her brand new E55 AMG (see attached), which apparently had these fitted. In ...

Personally I would never feel confident driving with a wheel/tyre I know has taken a decent impact. I couldn't agree more. One of the 'Police Camera Action' type TV programmes recently showed a pursuit vehicle doing a 1080 degree spin at 120mph (through traffic!) after a tire blow-out. It looked ab...

I rounded a tight corner on a narrow backroad (aren't they all in England) to find a on-coming car over the central line. Managed to miss the car but not the concrete curb. I must of only be doing 50mph when I scrapped the wheel, but with soft alloys... well the damage to the rim was significant. Ho...

There are a couple of companies in this country that are perfectly capable of doing a 100% job.

After hitting a v.hard immovable object in the weekend (ouch!) - I now need one of my front wheels refurbed. Can you please post details of these companies?
