    Where to buy a standard exhaust

    Try ebay, search for "imasaf B6" Although I cant personally vouch for Imasaf exhausts, they are supposed to be good. I know a german site that do eberspacher exhausts which were the factory manufacturer but its hit and miss if they have them in stock. Cant remember the website name but will get...

    DRL Switch To DRL with Coming Home Switch Conversion

    Hey folks, Does anyone know if this can be done to non xenon headlights? I have enabled "drl's" with my vcds on my B7 and it works (all the time ignition is on) but i have no switch to turn them off. I messed about with vcds to try and get CHL's enabled but so far ive had no luck. With non...

    My latest Audi, an a4 b7 avant black edition quattro

    Im no expert but i would watch the size of piston in the rear calipers aswell. Likely to be bigger in the standard A4. I do know the S4 has bigger rear pistons at 41mm or so. I think standard A4 has 38mm rear pistons. Cant comment on fitment of S3 rears to an A4 as I have never seen them and...

    My latest Audi, an a4 b7 avant black edition quattro

    Off the top of my head S4 pistons are 60mm S3 57mm A3 not sure Standard A4 312mm disc 57mm So you might be ok, just not as powerfull as S4 would be. Worth a go to be sure, bargain

    My latest Audi, an a4 b7 avant black edition quattro

    Just to add to this thread, the carriers for 345mm disc mk2 A3/S3, mk5 golf R32 platform are dimensionally the same as the B7 S4 calliper carriers and in some instances the same part number. The difference in part numbers are usually down to being a different colour or suchlike. The calliper...

    Opinions on Suspension Set Up ?

    I would say do the brakes or suspension next bud. You will feel the benefit of this ten times before making it go even faster IMO. Depends on budget, how you use the car and what your preferences are though. ie, keep a bit of comfort with better handling and more control or go all out, coilover...

    TTRS/RS3 Brembo Brake upgrade

    I see where you are coming from but, in this case I would say no. I take it the merc disk is used in the cayenne conversion to sort out correct disk offset so the disc runs central in the calliper? For this conversion the calliper brackets are used to reduce the size of disc needed ie. from...

    TTRS/RS3 Brembo Brake upgrade

    TTRS/RS3 brembo calipers are exactly the same. Its the disks that are different. I have TTRS brembos on my B7, I use S4 345mm disks with subaru/mitsubishi evo pads. you can actualy get the calipers for a bargian because of the recall. (got mine £180 near enough brand new) There is nothing...
