...Does he have to stop at the airport to refuel? I wonder if I can get buy with premium....Hmm...

Supercharging the 2.8 seems to be the better option. I know there's a supercharged 2.8 floating around this forum. Maybe look into that.

Having worked at a bike shop for quite a while, I will tell you that Thule's quality is second-to-none. I loved their stuff, and if you do a lot of hauling, it'll be worth it. Beyond that, I don't know. I didn't have my B5 A4 at my time of employment. Does it have to be a roof rack?

With the stock HU my car did the same. It shut off, when the door what opened. Try that.

I'm all for the pressure washers. The problem with a hose, is it doesn't get off all of the road grime, like loose tar, and gravel. So essentially, you're leaving small particles, of dirt and rocks. Now when you go to soap the car up with a sponge, you grind the dirt into the paint. With a...

I would love to get 25 feet out of it, but I do switch off driving my car and my father's allroad. With the Allroad, I tend to walk away, and turn my hand, and point back at the car, and press the "lock" button. With my A4 I do the same thing, but never hear the horn, assuring me that the...

Mine did. If you go into the jacket that holds your owners manual and things like that, there should be a manual for the stock head unit. On the first page, there should be a small card, with a tag on it. That should have the code. If not, I'm not sure how to help you.

Ah, so it's like the old Audi 80s. Clever. Dash lights adjusted problem solved. Now if it'd only let me edit the post. I feel bad just wasting this post, so I'll ramble a bit longer. Out of things to talk about. Post wasted.

This is like buying car audio. I walked in and the convo went something like this: Me- "Hi there, I'm looking to upgrade my car's audio system." Salesman- "What kind of car do you drive?" Me- "A 97' Audi A4" Salesman- "Audi, huh, that'll cost you about $400 extra." Me- "Excuse me?"...

On eBay they say it's easy. Although, that's eBay, once it gets out of their house, it's my problem. There's got to be a way!

Yeah, I agree. Perhaps there's a "Double DIN" out there that would look good. I'm addicted to the back light. I wish everything else's backlight was brighter. Speaking of that, is there a way to turn it up, I know you can in my father's Allroad...

Does Pavarotti make an exhaust? That's what I'm going for. How do I do this cheap?

By raspier, what exactly do you mean? I guess the best way to explain this is with an example. The growl of a big V-8. A Corvette or something. A deep, muddy (Not pinging), growl. Not loud unless you listen for it, but definately noticeable when you want it to be.

I don't like having to make this many posts... Here's a picture of the trunk, you can see the Alpine sub pretty well, and to its left, you can just see the MTX amp. I think the amp may have overheated, because I had the sub snugged right up to it. We'll see when I take it in.

A bit less orange. If you look closely, you can see the red backlight of the climate controls, complimented well by the head unit's back light.
