[s-cars] 2 burning questions.

[Haney Rod]

I have 2 big questions for those of you who may have redone pan gaskets on
your stock s4's. Does your car run a windage tray with a gasket above and
below the tray? I have replaced this for the second time and used avaition
sealer both times and still oil leaks on the pass side rear. This is the
setup run on the rs2, but my EKTA will not reveal the drawings of the US
model AAN's. Is there a pan that will fit without this bad gasket
arrangement?

Question 2 - I am going to run 17X8.5" ronals on the street and get a set of
dedicated track tires for the track on my 5 star OE 16's. Street - I am
looking for a tire that rides well and has good handling without going to
the s03's price range, can I get some feedback on the Sumitomo's and other
low cost hi-end z rated 17's. Track - Then give me a recommendation for the
16's hi grip in dry is the main consideration for these and hopefully in the
under 150$ each range, are the AVS sports comparable to hoosiers? what is a
good choice(s), speedo readings dont count here. Suspension is well sorted
and engine is quite strong so it should handle about anything. Pls. reply to
s4audinut at aol.com as well as this work addr.
