    Fitting Haldex

    Thats awsome. Thanks very much for that. Just ordered the gasket. £2. Only reason i was asking about the oil change is i didnt know if any oil would leak out when i take the old one off.

    Yeah i get some funny looks too. I tow an 18' speed boat. Were i go with it everyone has big 4x4's and they dont understand the power and weight of the car, and the fact it is four wheel drive.

    Had my REVO turned up....

    I went from Revo stage one on full boost to stage 2 and was slightly disapointed to be honest. Even when i turned the boost up to 9 and played with the timing abit.

    Anyone seen or know anything about these shocks???

    Not after any myself just yet. Just found them and thought they cant be bad for the money with a 2 year warrntee too. Wouldn't want coilovers, to hard for my liking. I'll probably go for the billies again, like i had on my last S3
