Figured I should finally get on here after years of knowing about this forum. I’m Mark from Amherst and I’ve been into this very expensive hobby for quite a while. I’m currently driving a 2001 Audi S4 Avant which made some healthy numbers on the dyno without requiring a full engine build (383whp/419wtq). My S4 is my DD and will hopefully remain so for quite some time. As with all project cars, it’s never quite done, but I’m happy with the progress I’ve made in the past few years.
Years ago, I was a Mustang guy and am still quite familiar with that scene. I had a 2002 Mustang GT with a Kenne Bell supercharger and later I had a 2003 Cobra with cams and a pullied factory supercharger. Those cars were wonderful and I do often miss them. However, I switched to the S4 so I could just rock one car all year round and save some costs that come with owning two cars. Owning a nearly 15 year old S4 hasn’t helped much in the way of saving cost, but at least it’s a fun sleeper to drive :tup:
Anyways, looking forward to meeting more of you guys at C&C in OP and at other events. If you see me out with my S4 give me a wave!
Lol, yes. That’s what happens when you let other people drive your car
The throttle body boot popped off and the boost sensor broke. Luckily not nearly as bad as I thought when it happened. Car should be up and running again this week.
Thanks! It is a 6MT indeed… the only way to go IMO.
Yes, the name is a diesel reference! There’s a few TDIs in the family and I’ve always enjoyed having them around. Next time funds allow I’ll pick one up for DD duty.
Sadly the winter has done its deed on the bumper and hood, so right now it’s a 15 footer as far as appearance is concerned. It’s tough justifying spending money on a front respray when I got the whole car done 3 years ago. Haha, I guess that’s why it’s a project car.
