Hi there, just a quick hello we are an Engineering Company down in Sussex one of our areas of work in Automotive and we have produced gear box braces specifically for the S4 and RS4 models.

We are looking for someone to test the finished product and give us some constructive feedback on the braces, we would preferably like somebody localy to ouselves as we would need to fit it, we are based in Crowborough East sussex, if anyone is interested please contact Kylie via email esp.engineering@talktalkbusiness.net

Also we have some Stainless Steel Billet gear knobs again for the RS4 and S4 models these have been engraved with a 6 speed gear pattern and Audi Motor Sport Logo designed to make a short shift gear change smoother, again are looking for someone to test our finished product to give us feeedback. Please contact on the above adress provided. MORE DEVELOPMENTS IN THE PIPELINE

Ah, yes this will be my fault.... This is the man(Known as Liam) that has developed the drive train stabiliser from my old S4, Ive seen pics and it looks good! Id be testing myself if I wasnt so far away. Mentioned previously here:

The extra mass in the gear knob inexplicably seems to make a difference to the shift. That S4 Liam has I fitted the tanoga short shift to while nice, it was a but notchy.... So I'll be having one of those knobs I think... Liam you need to get some picture up mate!! (or are you waiting till after testing???

So you local lot, get testing so I can get buying!

Oh.. You should see if you can do anything for this subframe issue:

Not local, but all sounds very interesting.

I take it the DTS must be either cheaper than or superior to the competion?

Likewise the gearknob sounds good too. Definately need some pics!

If you are interested in fabraction for the B5, perhaps something to address the rear subframe/ARB issue being discussed on the forum currently?

Thanks Everyone for your brilliant response, we have a couple of testers in mind now so watch this space and we will have all feedback on here 1st hand. I will get some pictures up on here today of the Gear knobs, and i will do some research to see how much we will be selling them for.

Also if anyone knows of any specific parts they are looking for and having trouble finding then let us know as we are open to new suggestions and happy to look into making more products

Again thanks for you interest
