No sign of hinges on my fuse cover...
My vote for the best mod for under $100 goes for fitting a 33 Bar Brake Bias Valve, and binning the 18 Bar that's standard on an S4. This transformed the braking on my car, the rears hardly got warm before, now the brake temps front and rear seem very similar, and the car feels much more stable under braking. Even in the wet I've not had any problems, so I'm really puzzled as to why Porsche were so conservative.

My top ten:
1.Bottle of loctite 290 [$6] saves the engine from TBF and certain destruction
2. My previous inlet air tubes made out of 3 inch water hose [$5]
3. Roger's fuel rehab hose kit [$100 to save the entire plot]
4. $12 for a shot of R12 in 40C+ heat when the a/c pressure drops
5. Redline Water wetter [$10?] for a bottle
6. $20 for a stone chipped windscreen repair
7. $100 to supply/fit a/c compressor seals
8. $60 to refurb/fit a/c hoses, supply/fit a/c drier bottle and re-gas
9. $70 Roger's delrin bushes if they work as reported
10. $80 to clean/refurb fuel injectors
regards
Fred

On the performance side I like:
1. 33barg brake regulator [$50?]
2. Inlet spacer [$80] if you consider you only really need 1 side-S4+ models
3. ATE blue brake fluid [$50?] if you do any track work [boiling brake fluid not good!]
4. 2nd hand RMB?
Regards
