I love the S4 don't get me wrong, I've just been having one too many problems with it lately. But whatever needs done to fix it will be done. Anyone have the Stasis re-geared trans and have an opinion on the ratios? Or am I better off just getting the standard stasis rebuild with the new diff?

i just have the basic stasis rebuild. it's 2grand cheaper. i'm looking to do the closer ratio rebuild eventually. but for now, it feels wonderful!!

Yeah, I know the b5 s4 is not a daily driver or the most dependable car ever. I do love the car, still having the car only a month and a half and I've put about $1200 in repairs in so far, hopefully at some point soon I get to enjoy driving the car lol.

anytime that you do should be enjoyable. i got my s4 in october. and since then, my driving time vs. the time that it's been on jackstands is split directly down the middle, 50/50. as much as it sucks, i would never trade this car for anything else. well maybe an rs4....

Yeah the S4 will definately be around for awhile, I never thought I'd think of my R1 as my daily driver, well at least it's been nice weather lately

You MUST post some pics of the R1 sometime, I really want to see those 06 conversions. Seems like a bitchin' ride.

Love having the bike, I'll post some pics of it soon. The only problem comes in when you need to take something with you or it rains like hell. But it's nice having a toy that does a 9 sec quarter mile and get good gas milage. Looks like it will be seeing a lot of use in the coming weeks.

PS Hano how long did it take to get your trans rebuilt by stasis? I'm pulling mine either this weeked or next to check it out and then it's probably on the way out to get rebuilt unless miracle happens
