Thanks Jeremy, that's the look I'm going for right now. The old man in me has been fighting to hold off on mods and be smart with my money.

Thanks Austin! You should sell yours and pick up a WDP. You can pull the whole "ying yang" thing with Jeremy.

That's what I want next. I want to get spacers and roll the fenders too, but it's all going to add up pretty quick. I had 4 people in my car the other night and they all made fun of me bc I had to slow down and take an angle pulling out of the parking lot. I like keeping the car functional, but I'd love the look of being lower.

If it's any consolation, I go to lunch sometimes with 4 adult guys in my car and do have to pay a bit more attention and the ride is more harsh, but no scraping/rubbing either.

:ghey: I know...work in an office with mostly sausage.

I know, I know... I want to mod the headlights and get new tails, but I'm currently saving for coils, spacers, and rear camber. I'll probaby do the lights after that.

Thanks J. I want to take photos that are epic and make it all over the Internet. I think it's going to take better equipment and better post processing.

It's been about 25K miles since I last did a 3x3 with the Redline fluid. I did a 1x3 today and I'm very happy to report the fluid was still very red and looked pretty good. I may hold off on the other 2 and just change the fluid every 10k or so.

Looking for input (LONG READ)... I have two friends that are big into the VW/Audi scene, both of them own R32's. One guy also has a big turbo project GTI he's working on and the other also just bought a 00 S4 Stage 3+. This car is pretty sick and was a blast to ride in. They are all about AWD and I'm starting to agree that's the way to go. I miss driving a manual and having a car with power.

I've never owned a turbo car and I wouldn't know what to do if it broke down (they all do when you mod them). My friends told me to look into 04/05 S4's and I'm really starting to like them. 340whp, AWD, 6spd, V8... and luxury. Seems like a nice little upgrade over my current Base TL.

There is one at a dealer not too far and it is the color I want. The car looks stock with 100k miles. I've been doing some research and they don't seem too bad to own. Intake, exhaust, tune, and suspension and they are a pretty fun car.

Here is a stock example of what it would look like.



A couple of modded examples of what it could look like
