Default I need to start gathering some maintenence items/mods...(ETKA help please)

I'm going to flush my tranny again. Last time I used OEM fluid, this time I'm going to use: Royal Purple's Max Gear 75w90. Does anyone want to lend me the tool?

I'm going to flush the rear dif again. Last time I used OEM, this time I'm using: Royal Purple's Max Gear 75w90.

I'm going to add the Front Strut Tower Bar from the faq so Part numbers:
A6 brackets:
(1) 4B0 803 357A LEFT BRACKET
(1) 4B0 803 358A RIGHT BRACKET

S4 Cross bar:
(1) 8D0 805 645A CROSS BAR
Long screws:
(4) N 090 378 2 (m8 x 25)

Oil change - Big filter of course w/ mobile 1 as usual.

windshield wipers

I want to get new enging mounts. Maybe 2.8? Does anyone have the necessary part numbers?

Default I would use Redline MT90 for the gearbox, 75w90 for the rear diff..

75w90 is a bit light for the trans. I'm not a fan of Royal Purple oils (this is just my opinion!).

I have Redline MT90 in mine, and it shifts great - very smooth, and responds well to quick shifts.

I've made my own bar for brace ,used the same brackets and screws .Use 3/8 by 1 1/2 in Aluminum and buy a pc of 1/8 by 1 aluminum for getting correct distance between hole/template setup. I drilled the thinner pc 1st for distances across car. Cost under $10 to make bar .Only expense was factory brackets and hardware.Also drilled and counter bored fro back of bar for tie wraps to attach the battery cable on drivers side.You have to cut bar to contour at ends like the bars for S4 that LLTek sells.I used jigsaw and metal blade then smoothed all edges w/diegrinder and emery cloth before painting bar.

Default you can just purchase the strut bar from PureMS...it fits MY00 just fine...

depending upon what battery you run. Also Mike at PureMS sells/stocks the 2.8/2.7T motor mounts

Default Get RS4 motor mounts from Pure...made a big difference.

I had snub, DTS, and RS4 mounts...it was nice. Ask Silver streakin'...he has the same setup.

no real point to go with RS4 mounts unless you're stage 3.
