if youre doing the install yourself, make sure you have an 'L' 6mm key, not the rachet type because it may be too long. also i suggest you take off the front head cover - that **** is sharp<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/a4/msgs/635486.phtml">https://forums.audiworld.com/a4/msgs/635486.phtml</a</li></ul>

Default i dont believe its all driver because every performance mod i get better times

compared to the drivers we look up to. some will say, guts, weight, handling and power. you'll even hear 7 yr experienced racers says their car/this part and that is not in tune
true, most prizes are fugly, heck my favorite club gives away freakin fridge magnets. but if the boys want it, i surely want a shot at it. MOOG club gives away very nice trophies - real ones, but we dont have that club here. theres one club here that has the most beautiful 'paperweight' ive seen. i'll post a pic if i every get that good, kevin with the civic (also S4) doesnt go there, my only problem there are the TypeRs =)

Default If you don't believe it's mostly driver,how do you explain faster better handling cars getting.....

...spanked by lesser cars? If it was all about the cars you should be able to win in a car that beats you.Sure the cars and what's done to 'em makes a dif. but the driver s skill makes the most.That Mod is free.
When you are new you get better in leaps and bounds,you'll see soon enough.

Default i must admit that there is no car easier to race than the A4Q. i drove some cars and theyre totally

different beast, even dan's. yes, you get braver in time, but you'll know when you need more power when your brain thinks faster than what your car can shell out.
i'm sticking with 45% driver, 40% car, 15% tires

Gotta agree its mostly driver. The red AE86 (112hp) was faster than 95% of the field!
