WagonWork on Jeff Davis Hwy in Alexandria is excellent. I've heard First Choice just off Jeff Davis Hwy is also very good. You're probably looking at about $500 for the hood.

Mazda Rev It Up Are any of you guys interested in working the Mazda Rev It Up event at FedEx Field on May 1-2? I've been talking with the organizers and I've offered to work. Basically it's typical autocross stuff, running start gates, picking up cones, etc. The pay is $150 a day, plus a $45...

LOL! It's actually for sale, I've got the Porsche bug. ;)

Matt 02 Audi S4 03.5 Midnight Blue P5 (ok, so it's the girlfriend's car, I can pretend) Arlington, VA (right near Crystal City)

Thanks, it's an automatic though, so one thing i won't have to worry about. :) Tried to talk the gf into the stick, but it wasn't happening.

I know, I was just messing around. :)

Thanks guys! Looking forward to learning more about the P5. Hopefully the roads will dry up enough to go out and play. Now Matthew, what's wrong with the Audi? (fight)

Like someone said, it's going to really screw with your beam pattern. That little reflector is there for a reason. When designing the car Mazda didn't say to themselves "Hmmm, these lights are too bright, lets put this cap in front of them." As you noticed, it's a reflector, as is the back of...

I've been reading the archives for the past few hours and there seems to be A LOT of conflicting information there regarding break-in, oil changes, etc... Our new P5 didn't come with a manual (on order) so I was hoping that someone could answer a few questions out of the manual for an '03.5 P5...

Use the OEM filters if you can, they are usually higher quailty than most filters you can buy in the store.

WagonWork is good (they've done all the work on my S4), and First Choice is also good. They're both in Alexandria.

I'm hoping to get my gf out on the track this spring in her new P5. It will probably be at Summit Point (WV), and while not THAT hard on brakes, novices tend to be harder on their brakes. What pads are available to fit the stock calipers? I'd like to find a Pagid or Cobalt pad, but I'm open...

Looks like tons of fun, I can't wait for the season to start up again. I ran 15 days in '03 in my S4, got bit by the track bug hard and just couldn't stay away. Hoping to get the girlfriend out in her new P5 this spring. Hopefully Pagid or Cobalt makes a pad to fit he P5's calipers. I'm...

You're right. They're quick and if they launch well, they're going to be tough to beat, but they're not that fast. One thing that is a problem with AWD cars is that the lack of wheelspin makes it easy to bog the launch, the S4 is the same way. IF you can get just a touch of wheel spin (it's...

Try this: <a href="http://www.carcareonline.com/detail.asp?product_id=11310">Wurth A/C & Heating System Spray</a> It works great.

Less backpressure should actually hurt low-RPM power output and help high-RPM power output. Looking at Aeroturbine's web site, it looks like a lot of snake oil techno-babble to me. I'd like to see one cut away of their "jet engine technology". My knowlege of fluid dynamics is almost...

Sorry, just picked up the P5 today. :)

I haven't looked under the car yet, but it's possible that the factory exhaust system was designed to blend into the shape of the underside of the car (it's like this on my S4), thus helping air flow under the car. Aftermarket systems are almost always just a generic canister, and not designed...

Hey all, Just figured I'd say hello, we just picked up an '03 P5 for my gf today; really a fun little car, but you guys knew that. I snapped a few crappy pics in our parking garage, since I've figured you guy haven't seen a P5 before. ;) The S4 is mine, but if the P5 turns out to be as fun as...
