I never understood that, just because you're being different doesnt mean it looks good or is gonna be appreciated. I could shave off the left side of my head to be that 1% who doesnt go with the flow. We aren't being "haters" just trying to point you in the right direction.
lol, rice or not idgaf. doesnt look good or not appreciated, that's just the majority of opinion. i dont need to be pointed the right direction i didn't come here for that. if i did, i would ask for it. look, my bad if you got offended i dont need to make you feel comfortable on my posts on here, you like you like you don't oh well. thankx for the feedback though, appreciated.

Default word.

Here's a note to the few:

If I need advice I will ask for it, If I need help I will ask for it, but unsolicited advice is not needed. We can't please everyone, I definitely didn't come here to please anyone

I thank you for everyone's concern, I can feel how concern you all are. (lol) Thank you for the feedback, but again as simple as this sounds "its my car i do what the hell i please".

Yal have a great day! I'm having a wonderful one! Can't wait to install my seats lol...

I don't think its advice they are given but a perspective since you are somewhat new. Its like going to the underwear isle when you get to the age where whity tites are not good for your rep. You look at the bikini style and think "hell Yeah" to yourself. Then the first time you change in front of all your bros in Gym class you quickly realize that Boxers were the way to go. Yeah its kind of weird wearing what looks like shorts under your shorts but hey its that or Commando.

I guess they are looking at it from a etiquette stand point. Somethings make sense and some don't. What they are saying is that by using the RS4 emblem on a car that shares nothing with a RS4 you are losing rep instead of gaining it, which is what I would suspect you are trying to accomplish. But hey its your car do what you want and how you want.

Anyway why could not you not run MegaSquirt on the V6 based vehicle? With it and some custom fab work I am sure a turbo could be made to fit. It would be more aggravation then what its worth but it is doable I am sure. Also didn't they make a 12V SC kit before? I am positive I have seen 12V SC dyno video before.

The PES dyno graphs are bull ****. The torque and hp lines cross 500 RPM too late...

Not the same but the local subi place is a Corbeau dealer, so they had a feqw options to sit in. I chose the LG1. I thought it was comfy, and they gave it to me for far less than I could find it anywhere else. I also snagged a 5 point harness.

Corbeau: LG1

I also have a brand new never opened, Audi b5 corbeau seat bracket slider, so direct fittment for the b5 if anyone is interested.

I see you went full rice with the RS4 badge. Even a fully built S4 avant (B5 RS4s were avant only) would get ragged for the RS4 badge. It's simply not one and posing as such makes you exactly that, a poser. The least you could do is make sure it's lined up so folks will think it was there all along. Sorry looks janky.

Now all the civic ricers will go full chub when the smoke an "RS4"

The Hitachi ECU is ****. I don't think you can run maestro on any B5s but the 2001 1.8t that has me7 equipped, iirc. And no 12v SC kit was ever available. I recall one guy had done a ton of custom fab stuff for the 12v and was selling it at one time, many years back.

and the distinct lack of avant-ness and widebody and brushed aluminum mirror covers/rails and performance. It's a big list
