The two largest enemies of any high-performance engine are heat and friction - WPC has found a way to reduce both. WPC treatment is not a coating, it’s a metal improvement process utilizing high-speed micro peening technology giving higher compressive stresses creating a harder more durable finish which also creates oil retention pools which prevent oil starvation. WPC is a surface treatment that reduces friction and adds strength, two improvements that benefit your engine. What's better than using Original BMW rod bearings in your next engine build? WPC-treated OEM bearings!

The fuel filter in Porsche 996 Turbo GT2 and GT3 cars should be replaced at the 60,000 mile major maintenance, although more frequent fuel filter replacement is a prudent option, especially in areas where fuel quality is poor or inconsistent. Clogged fuel filters cause fuel starvation, especially noticeable when the engine is cold or under load. The fuel filter is wedged in the upper left corner of the engine compartment, near the coolant recovery bottle. It’s a tight fit, but once you know a few tricks it is not extremely difficult to replace.

Visual upgrades tie your car together. With more aggressive styling, your Audi can transform from a sedate performance sedan to something that reflects your enthusiasm for motorsport performance. Make your Audi B8 A4 S-Line or S4 look as awesome as it performs with our new Gloss Black Grille Accent set for a distinct visual upgrade designed for the discerning enthusiast.

The B9 A4 and S4 comes with quite underwhelming trunk illumination which is fine, as long as you only put your stuff on the left side of the trunk. There is one light on the driver's side and nothing but a cutout where a light housing should be on the passenger's side. We were frustrated so we designed a custom harness and coupled it with a matching Genuine Audi LED light housing for true OEM level integration.

Increase rear end stability and extend the life of your alignment with Rennline's High Density subframe mounts. Factory units can cause rear ends to become more 'twitchy' and nervous, especially under high suspension loads, especially as they begin to fail. Made from heavy duty high durometer rubber which features a 75% - 25% increase in stiffness over OE units, our High Density bushing kit includes the steel or aluminum inner core and outer casement making them a plug and play solution for your 997.

The Rennline Tunable Engine Mount for the 911/930 offers the ultimate in adjustability for your car. Replacing your compliant factory mounts will decrease engine movement resulting in better acceleration, handling and significantly increased shifter feel. This is the ultimate solution for almost any car, and allows you to tune our mounts for the way you drive. Rennline mounts are CNC machined from billet aluminum and include three pairs of inserts in varying densities. Tune your mounts by using the softer inserts to reduce engine slop.

Ball joints are one of the most critical wear items in your suspension. They connect the bottom of the front strut to the A-arm and are often responsible for twitchy, nervous and downright dodgy steering feel. When completing any suspension overhaul or upgrade ball joints should be thoroughly checked for split/torn boots and for any amount of play in the joint itself. Rennline's HD units will stand the test of time and provide superior performance over the other units on the market. Don't risk losing seconds per lap or worse a complete mechanical failure; change your ball joints now!

If your car is on fire, the last thing you want to do is fumble with clamps and brackets found on traditional fire extinguisher mounts. In these critical moments, the Rennline Fire Extinguisher Quick Release can mean the difference between a minor incident and a total loss. Rennline’s exclusive Detent Release System (DRS) design resulted in the smoothest, most precise operation possible. Designed with the racetrack in mind, their Quick Release is a true metal-to-metal mount which meets all sanctioning body requirements.
