I was spotted by User 2001A6 in a Lowe's parking lot... exciting place (picking up mulch).
Anyway, I drive a 2005 S4 and it has been fun. It is completely stock and I cannot get myself to change that yet.
I also have a 2002 Mazda Miata. I just finished putting a turbo kit in it but it is having issues... Driving the Audi for now
I also ride a 2001 Yamaha YZF 600, but not as often as I would like.

Nice Jeff. 40PSI, on a K03, umm, I think it would probably kill itself much before that...

Well, pretty sure I dont need any spacers in back..

Its already out to the edge of the fender. What do you think Jeff? Others? Would 15mm's make them poke too much?

For sure though it needs the drop. Bad. Before some one thinks Im some kinda gangsta! LOL.

i think 15 mm spacers would make you look like a mexicant on 100 spokes

first impressions of the clutch are wow...... this thing will grab once i get used to it


amy said she smelled it a little, and i killed it like 3 or 4 times, the grab point is different, and how it grabs is different

Hello everyone,
Per 2001A6's advice, I'm posting in the St. Louis thread. I have not had a chance to post pictures of my car yet, but I have a 05 S4 and I am a fan of German engineering. When I first moved to this country, I was steered away from German cars by family and friends citing high cost for maintenance and repairs, so I drove one American car ( a piece of S@#$ Oldsmobile, that blew the engine twice within one year , never drove another American car again) and several Japanese cars that gave me reliable long term transportation. I still own a Miata (slightly modified ) and a Yamaha motorcycle.
For my S4, I wish I could have may be another 100lb/ft in torque, 100-200hp more, but there are limited possibilities for modification on the V8. The cost of the one supercharger that requires shipping the car to Germany (if I remember correctly) was more than the price of another decent car (excess of 20K). It is still fun to drive, still a sleeper most people do not understand, and has beautiful lines.
Ok, enough rambling.... just wanted to introduce myself on this thread
