Is there such a thing?

I’ve had AP arch guards on an F80 M3 which have reduced stone chips up the side of the car a reasonable amount.. but I’ve never seen anything similar for the RS4.

Been up to about 165 on a deserted road in my ST205 Celica GT4, someone pulled onto the motorway from a sliproad a loooooooong way down the road... but I reached it very quickly, put into perspective how quickly I was going and as someone mentioned, even 100mph feels positively pedestrian after that...

I know what you're saying Paul, I think Mike summed it up well.. its a question of taking a gamble unless you find one thats had the problem rectified/uprated. The other way would be to know a cars history in detail and know how it has been treated by previous owners.. but thats pretty rare, special...

Hahaha, it would appear the stakes are comparable anyway Mike!!

This thread isnt meant to tempt fate for any of you guys out there.... :o :P Dazzer, I'm based in East Scotland (Tayside/Fife). Not bothered about travelling for the correct car to be honest, I've got potential overnight bases around Gatwick, Manchester, Leicester and Bedford areas!! :D Cheers, Grant

Jeeezo, didnt realise it was an engine out job, that'll explain the labour costs then!! :o Ok, definitely no point in sticking standard stuff back into it if the cost of upgrading isnt toooooo much more. :D I know my way around an engine bay, comfortable servicing my daily runner myself.. but specia...

Ok guys, thanks a lot for the response... To be honest, I've always thought that if an OEM part fails and the option to upgrade is there, it makes more sense to do it rather than stick back 'potentially' problematic parts again. Considering that reconditioned KO3's would cost 800-900 to do. What sor...

Ok, I'm aware that the answers here will depend on individual circumstances.. but looking for a more general answer!! What sort of life expectancy would you think a pair of stock B5 S4 Turbos would have if they are being used to run Stage1 Boost Levels (quoted power is c330bhp and 400lb/ft) of gener...

Never knew that Greers did any work on Audis?!

I'd be interested to hear the outcome of this please mate...

Adam, are you a member on PF mate?? Just the S2/325i thing sounds familiar...

A gentleman would conceed that because you were here first, you get first refusal on any cars that come up for sale.... Thats what I assume a gent would do anyway!? :P:lol: Nogaro Blue just sets it just that wee bit apart from the rest of the A4 range IMO.. Dont know if you've seen it or not, but th...

Thats fine Mike, thanks for letting me know.. Bet there'll be more effort going into the MX-5 sale than the S4 sale!!

Thanks for the welcome guys... :) Daz, only difference is the price of the MAF's on these cars... but you dont buy them if you're going to have to skrimp and save to run the thing so I'm prepared for an increase in cost of parts!! I'd prefer an Avant, I'm a big fan of the sleeper look and extra flex...

Mike, can you e-mail me some photos and a spec list to grantfarnan@yahoo.com please.

Hi Guys, Gonna give you a wee bit of background info.. I'm 22, from Scotland and have been car-daft since I was able to pickup my first matchbox toy!! :lol: I've been through various performance cars in my few years behind the wheel some of them include, an RS Turbo, a couple of Civic VTi 3drs, 205 ...
