With all the methods of getting the rear of the car to rotate that I've discussed and having at least 2 degrees of camber, the front tire roll over is not as bad as you might think. Why? Since the...

You do know that 60% of an RS4's weight is on the front wheels, right? You just can't divide the total weight by four. APR has their blower equipped RS4 doing impressive quarter-mile times and they...

B-L-O-W-E-R

The only way the sensitivity of the RS4 wouldn't bug me to death was if it had another 100whp on its worst day.

When I drove it to work every morning, I used to guess if my local...

A common error made by the tech is over-pressurising the system. Early tools used on the RS6 can be converted to work on the RS4. I have a suspicion that the gauge on the tool is labeled in a unit of...

Sorry, we're not much past swapping brake pads or changing oil. Maybe if we had a pic of just where off the engine it came. As long as you're at it, what did the intake valves look like?
