 Hello again:
 
 As usual I have more questions.
 
 1)	Has anyone used the Tire Rack for wheels and tires.  I'm thinking of =
 putting Blizzaks and steel wheels on my S4.  Any problems using a 15" =
 wheel instead of 16".???
 
 
 2)	I live just north of NYC and can't seem to find Red Line or Amsoil =
 that everyone here is preaching about.  Any good mail order places to =
 try???   I'm going to give a shot to Pep Boys tomorrow but I think I may =
 strike out.
 
 
 Don't worry, eventually I'll have enough knowledge to answer a question =
 or two.
 
 Thanks again!!

Nickynickynicky, whatsamattayou, ya ears be clogged or somethin?

IMHO, go with Hoppen if ya only want ECU. Go with IA if ya gonna get the
manifold too.
Hoppen (941) 924-6380. ECU $395.  ECU & RS2 manifold $1125.

Tire rack be cool mahn. Get the 15'steels with 60 series tires. The blizzaks
are great but not that durable-- when they wear they loose their snow tire
chops and act more like all-season radials. I would go with the Gislavad
Nordicfrosts(sic) (Discount tire) or the Michelin alpin 130's. The later stay
snow tires until the end, and are H rated so you can fly (and they'll handle)
in the dry.
