Well, it was time to get a more practical car, so I picked up a 2001 Audi S4. Has room for 5, quattro for the winter, and I needed something more professional looking. Can’t roll up to meetings and such in the 240. I’m pretty happy with the car. It handles well, brakes well, and has some pretty good acceleration. It is a V6 2.7L Twin Turbo; so the potential for upgrades is definitely there, and there is a lot of aftermarket support for it. My plans are to, of course, modify it, but nothing too crazy yet. Wheels/tire Lowering Spring, mainly to just stiffin it up Minor cosmetic add-ons such as a front lip and rear lip spoiler Short Shifter GIAC ecu re-tune (i think this brings it to about 16lbs of boost) Intake Downpipes Exhaust Diverter valves Motor mounts I think this should make it a fun car to drive all around, and a lot of fun at the auto-x’s next year. Stock the car is 250hp, and with these mods, guys are estimating approximately 320hp. Some people are neck and neck with E46 M3’s at this point. Fast enough for me, I’ve had my fun already. haha. Anyhow, here are some photos: ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v95/SRBURG13/AudiS4004small.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v95/SRBURG13/AudiS4004small.jpg) ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v95/SRBURG13/AudiS4008.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v95/SRBURG13/AudiS4008.jpg) ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v95/SRBURG13/AudiS4015.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v95/SRBURG13/AudiS4015.jpg) ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v95/SRBURG13/AudiS4016small.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v95/SRBURG13/AudiS4016small.jpg) ---

Thanks for the comments guys. I’m pretty happy with it. Now that the snow it around, with the winter tires on, this thing is great. Glad I bought an all year driver. Alan: Ya, all you see is plastic when you open the hood. They come off with clips though, real simple. The only downside of this car, is that doing work on the engine is like a Z32, absolutely no room. ---

S4 are very nice. Tight working area is like an Audi signature thing. I’m sure that it’ll start looking mean and clean next spring right? ---

Thanks guys. We’ll see what I can do with it for summer. It’s a V6… no sequential. Sequential and parallel turbos are on straight 6’s like the 2JZ or something like that. ---
