Company car is heading my way. Probably a Ford fusion or something with no personality. Can't complain though. Probably gonna go bt or sell it and buy an s4 b5. Any input?

Having a second car and lots of spare cash are two good things to have if you plan on buying an S4.

I'm doing a clutch in a few weeks and hopefully BT later this summer

Keep the cars in the garage as much as possible , ride bicycle to work. Gas is supposed to hit $5 a gallon. Just paid $4.15 for 93.

How's the TT runnin these days? Lots of issues with the A4 since the valve cover job?
I don't have another car so I'll have to get the clutch and turbo done in two sittings...

It's not that bad I've done the turbo about 4 times now though so I've got it down!


It's practically always like summer here in SoCal (yes CCA4, the weather makes all the work worth it). So whatever plans I have could be considered "summer plans" For example, starting tomorrow I'm swapping back in my FrankenTurbo kit and supporting components, and in a week or two I'll be running a United Motorsport Stage 3 tune for AEB with 630cc injectors and a 3" MAF Also can't forget that this weekend I'm also swapping the clutch fan for an e-fan with shorter accessory belt and adding a new catch can

Once I get these next few things done on my car, the only stuff left for summer would be suspension and wheels. Maybe coilovers first to hold me over for a bit while I piece together the air components.
