    is it normal for an a3 to sound like a scooby?

    Fitted my CR K04 Hybrid today

    Show your engine bay

    Used wrinkle paint for manifold and rocker cover. works quite well and is pretty tough once baked. I didnt want the covers anymore...an engine bay full of plastic and covers is a bit dull IMO

    Porsche Cup tyre sizing on a Quattro, HELP

    Problem is with such a stretch, the tyres will be different circumference regardless as stretching pulls down the contact area towards the rim. You'd have to do some real good calculations. What size are the rears? 9.5"?

    yep its a splined bar, so you can move it a couple degrees at a time. BTW - You will likely need ALOT of force to undo the centre nut. On mine it took a 24" breaker bar to shift it the first time.
