Alrighty- so I figured the best way to intro myself is to start a build thread for my 05 S4 Cabriolet. Was on here a few years ago, but have no idea which email account I used so can’t access my old account. Anyway, the mod list: 2005 Audi s4 Cabriolet 4.2 V8 JHM 93 Tune Milltek Catless DPs Magnaflow 2.5" Resonated Catback JHM Intake Manifold JHM Ported Throttle Body JHM LWCP Apikol Snub Mount Hotchkiss Rear Sway Bar JHM Intake Spacers 034 Motorsports Internal Goodies 19" VMR V710 wheels Pioneer DVD Head Unit This is by far the most fun car I’ve ever owned, so I plan to keep adding to it. Will update with pics every so often…thanks for looking! Here’s what it looked like completely stock last summer: ![http://i629.photobucket.com/albums/uu15/Robd1985/S4%20Build/orig1.jpg](http://i629.photobucket.com/albums/uu15/Robd1985/S4%20Build/orig1.jpg) And the stock engine (PO had the KN sticker on there…first thing to go) ![http://i629.photobucket.com/albums/uu15/Robd1985/S4%20Build/orig2.jpg](http://i629.photobucket.com/albums/uu15/Robd1985/S4%20Build/orig2.jpg) First things first: Fix a valve cover leak and powdercoat that ugly silver: ![http://i629.photobucket.com/albums/uu15/Robd1985/S4%20Build/P2120031.jpg](http://i629.photobucket.com/albums/uu15/Robd1985/S4%20Build/P2120031.jpg) Finished product: ![http://i629.photobucket.com/albums/uu15/Robd1985/S4%20Build/P2120037.jpg](http://i629.photobucket.com/albums/uu15/Robd1985/S4%20Build/P2120037.jpg) Now came the most important mod, the JHM Tune: ![http://i629.photobucket.com/albums/uu15/Robd1985/S4%20Build/P1200026.jpg](http://i629.photobucket.com/albums/uu15/Robd1985/S4%20Build/P1200026.jpg) And the hardest mod, the JHM Intake Manifold: ![http://i629.photobucket.com/albums/uu15/Robd1985/S4%20Build/P2170040.jpg](http://i629.photobucket.com/albums/uu15/Robd1985/S4%20Build/P2170040.jpg) Out with the old ![http://i629.photobucket.com/albums/uu15/Robd1985/S4%20Build/P2170041.jpg](http://i629.photobucket.com/albums/uu15/Robd1985/S4%20Build/P2170041.jpg) Spacers going in: ![http://i629.photobucket.com/albums/uu15/Robd1985/S4%20Build/P2180043.jpg](http://i629.photobucket.com/albums/uu15/Robd1985/S4%20Build/P2180043.jpg) ![http://i629.photobucket.com/albums/uu15/Robd1985/S4%20Build/P2180044.jpg](http://i629.photobucket.com/albums/uu15/Robd1985/S4%20Build/P2180044.jpg) Done ![http://i629.photobucket.com/albums/uu15/Robd1985/S4%20Build/P2180047.jpg](http://i629.photobucket.com/albums/uu15/Robd1985/S4%20Build/P2180047.jpg) Then came the Milltek Catless DPs, RS4 RSB, and Apikol Snub (Thanks to Edge Motors in Haverstraw, NY) ![http://i629.photobucket.com/albums/uu15/Robd1985/S4%20Build/P1200022.jpg](http://i629.photobucket.com/albums/uu15/Robd1985/S4%20Build/P1200022.jpg) And now the finished product (Along with the VMR V710s and Magnaflow Exhaust I did last summer): ![http://i629.photobucket.com/albums/uu15/Robd1985/S4%20Build/P2260048.jpg](http://i629.photobucket.com/albums/uu15/Robd1985/S4%20Build/P2260048.jpg) ![http://i629.photobucket.com/albums/uu15/Robd1985/S4%20Build/P2260050.jpg](http://i629.photobucket.com/albums/uu15/Robd1985/S4%20Build/P2260050.jpg) ![http://i629.photobucket.com/albums/uu15/Robd1985/S4%20Build/P2260052.jpg](http://i629.photobucket.com/albums/uu15/Robd1985/S4%20Build/P2260052.jpg) ![http://i629.photobucket.com/albums/uu15/Robd1985/S4%20Build/P2260053.jpg](http://i629.photobucket.com/albums/uu15/Robd1985/S4%20Build/P2260053.jpg) ![http://i629.photobucket.com/albums/uu15/Robd1985/S4%20Build/P2260055.jpg](http://i629.photobucket.com/albums/uu15/Robd1985/S4%20Build/P2260055.jpg) ![http://i629.photobucket.com/albums/uu15/Robd1985/S4%20Build/P2260058.jpg](http://i629.photobucket.com/albums/uu15/Robd1985/S4%20Build/P2260058.jpg) ---
