Hi Dgardel,

I appreciate the 90 will be slightly lighter but I was very surprised at how much more "pep" the 2.2 appears to have . Also with the wider stance and tyres it is more responsive to steering inputs than our 110 on standard wheel and tyres. The shorter wheelbase helps here though.

Thanks for the nice comments chaps, much appreciated !
To Marc r, sold the RS4 on Pistonheads privately last week. Great car and sounded brilliant with a non res Miltek system. Doing less miles now so went for a Defender as I was doing 20k a year in RS4
Sorry Sparkylee , next week would be difficult for me.

Thanks
James

i was talking to another forum member last night about the difference between the 2.2 and 2.4, they must have done some magic to make the 2.2 output the same power etc as the 2.4.

RS4 .. let us know when you start missing the extra space the 110 had Whistle

Hi bpman,

I know what you mean but just personally prefer look of 90. Not so bad now oldest son has own car, however at youngest ones cricket match at weekend had to squeeze 3 + kit bags into the back to take them from one pitch to another! Not so easy as in 110 !

Did indeed thanks, that's the same setup as mine, when I had the oversized micky t's on it sat out way more and I kinda liked it.
