If you look carefully at the oil passage photos you can see how the passages have been modified , corners radiused / widened /smoothed . This would help flow and air entrapment .

Terry,

Jim did that on Dennis' car and probably on ptuomov's. Mine was a more vanilla build.

Others,

Here are a few of the photos without having to go to the site:

George, do you have the windsheild channel filled in? I always wondered how much air that gap catches. I am talking about he spot where Jerry Feather strips go.

90 S4's have a plastic strip in the gap between the body and the windshield.





That's what's there now. I did try taping it up once, but the tape started coming off at 180+ and it was quite annoying as it flapped around in the moving air...

I got the trophy in the mail, so it went up one the wall at work.



It's hard to take a photo of shiny metal plates and not get yourself in the reflection...
