If some of you want a real photoshoot, I can ask the guy prices for few of us to go get done. If interested post up and I will ask cost and schedule it.
Fyi, this guy is insanely good at pics.

If you're talking about who I think you are, yes he's incredible.

[99ebpsi24]

^^^ what he said if it's Javo from CSS then he's work is simply amazing. I'd imagine that's who Dan is talking about. I'd be up for some shots a little later on when I've got everything worked out with my summer setup.

[Myallroad]

Yes javo. Lol

[99ebpsi24]

Javo is insane with his photos. Dan is another guy on CSS that is a really talented photographer. I think his name is like redgsr or something he just put up pics of an e46 m3

If i go, can i drive your car? lol

[bikerbob951]

Gonna have to skip this this week.

[Bdubs]

Hey bikerbob...were you the guy with the sea sucker rack on the top of your car? If so, lol at me meeting you a week or two ago when I had my two boys with me and not realizing you were on the forum.

If not...nevermind...move along...nothing to see here.

[AWellman]

isnt it suppose to be raining tomorrow morning? if so i thought no one really shows up.. only time i ever went was last week and it was pretty cool.

[Bdubs]

If it's raining, I won't go...if it's overcast, I'll still probably head down and see if anyone is there.

[zerokiller698]

i will be going rain or shine

[S4B5Sean]

I know of two extremely talented photographers here in Cincinnati at that specialize in taking pics of cars. They are my close friend Dan aka DKFX and Javier who has done some work for Canibeat. Send me a PM with your email addy and I can forward it to them. As soon as I get my new tires for the RS6 rims I am have a photoshoot of my S4 and a video made.

Sidenote:
Anyone else thinking of rolling down to Louisville Sunday morning with me and some others? Chew on it and let me know.

-Sean

[kingtr]

So...was anyone on here the driver of the modded yellow S4 I saw on my way in to work today. Westbound on 275 near Loveland/Montgomery and then you headed north on 71? I was driving red S6.

Very well could have been me, though if it were early morning up that way not quite as likely. There is another Imola that Iv'e spotted out in that area a few times as well.

Planning to swing by cars and coffee tomorrow, will probably be there around 9:30am...anybody else going?

I too plan on swinging down, I have a new to me toy (well, daily drive) to show off. Though she needs some serious paint work, everything else is pretty legit!

lol, yep thats me with the crazy bike rack... I didn't know that was you I was talking to! We'll have to meet properly at the Scoobies for Boobies cruise, if not before.

How was the turnout this morning?

[witwer4444]

Guys, any ideas where to get drilled rotors turned? Ever since I installed my BBK my new rotors have been pulsing pretty bad...

Also, Im bringing the car down tomorrow so expect to see me saturday mornings, finally haha

Pulled the trigger on a '92 RS2'd S4, drove it back from Colorado, first impressions it's awesome. RS2 turbo/EM/injectors, 7a cams, stromung gen 4 exhaust/downpipe. Porsche boxter (silver) brakes, bilstein/H&R suspension (sway bar because it's a 92 MY), a few sets of wheels and tires, 9x17 ronals w/ Pzeros on it currently. Component system with 4/3/2 channel amp and 8" custom sub sounds damn good.

Certainly will need some TLC, mainly in the exterior cosmetic department, but mechanically and cosmetically inside it is pretty much damn near perfect (or I hope..) I am strongly considering a matte wrap, in either black, red, blue (looks kind of nogaro-esque to me), dark grey, or white. (pics of those at the bottom).

The other problem I just encountered the other day, the tune does not seem to appreciate the rain very much. I experience a rougher idle and feel on acceleration. The car was originally tuned for altitude, but in contacting the tuner he assured me many run the tune at lower elevation without issue. So I'm not too sure about that one..

A few pics of the car:
Sanding/repainting the pieces under the headlights will occur asap.


Badge on the rear will be replaced - when depends on if I go ahead with the wrap idea.


Why I want to move to Colorado:



Almost ran out of gas in one of the fly-over states because stations only carried 87 - wtf?


Her first taste of the good shit - 93 octane here on out.


How she sits now - rack will likely be swapped over to white car. Until I decide to sell it, which could be sooner than later.



The matte options: (excluding black and white as you know what they look like)

I think I like grey white or black for daily use. But the blue or red could be cooler/unique... or... just hideous.

Kingtr - Nice ride with proven mods. The Ur S4/S6s are great cars that are difficult to maintain.

Thanks, yup the right mods for sure. You think they're that tough to maintain? Seem to be a bit easier to work on than the B5's or TT I've had. Lots of room in the bay helps.

[Myallroad]

Nice pick up. Needs more boost! lol

[rharris]

Kingtr- I suck at the internet. I meant easy to maintain. I used to own a B5 about 10 years ago. The C4 is (IMHO) an all-around better car.

[witwer4444]

Saw a Black B5 S4 heading northbound on 75 yesterday about about 6 oclock. Mile marker 10?

Anyway, I was in my Nogaro B5 S4 heading southbound. Let me know if it was any of you!

I will see you all at C&C hopefully this weekend.

[zerokiller698]

Sean, were you at toyota yesterday in erlanger?

[witwer4444]

Do any of you 2.7T guys have a pressure leak tester? AKA an air tank and a fitting to go onto the Y-pipe to check for boost leaks?

I just got the car down here and have tools but don't have any garage access resources...

6 Pack of Brews for anyone willing to help and I also have the full VCDS VAG Software if anyone wants a scan as well.

[kingtr]

Nice pick up. Needs more boost! lol

I agree, can spike at 30 now with the RS2 setup (not that I like to), but 35-40 would be nice on a build engine. :)

If I hold onto it for a while I'll likely toss a 3071 with a billet wheel in there, that'd be fun!

Ah, I gotcha! Yup, they each have their perks, but I've grown very fond of the C4.

May have been me, I was in that area around that time. My car has a Europlate on it and is badgeless.

Yes, that would have been me. I was unloading some tires.

[zerokiller698]

I was close to getting off work, just walking around and saw your car there.

[AWellman]

local b6+'ers i have a set of front lower spring perches off my 2000 s4, i read that b6 people like these lol so if anyone have the "new ones" "non-vented" ones and wanna trade send me a PM.

nice! i have the same wheels on my b5 s4... they came with my car.

[Bdubs]

If i go, can i drive your car? lol

I will let you drive it sometime. I let my brother in law drive it and he isnt a car guy...every too shap turn he took had my arse pucker up thinking he was going to curb my wheels.

[Myallroad]

Lol I'm just messing with ya. Trying to buy one for a killer deal at some bunk car dealership. Lowballin them

[witwer4444]

C&C saturday?

[zerokiller698]

I will be there. I was at the C&C last night, nice to have a mid week date now

[Bdubs]

What? There is now a Wed night C&C? Same place?

I won't be there this weekend...too many other commitments on Saturday.

[zerokiller698]

Yesterday was the first night of midweek C&C. Wednesday nights 5pm to 9pm. Still at Fuel. It was a decent turn out, hopefully bigger turn out next week

[Bdubs]

Does anyone know of a good BMW mechanic in the area that either is at an indy shop or does freelance mechanic work? Have a friend with a 2004 M3 convertible that he'd like to take in for an oil change and to have the car inspected to ensure no leaks/issues.

[Myallroad]

Have a buddy that works at a dealership as tech. Ill ask him

[c0de]

New Audi driver here, got a CPO B8 A4 last weekend and looking to do a couple of VAG-COM mods. Anyone in or around the Mason area cares to lend me a hand? I don't have a VAG-COM and don't want to spring for one for a few simple mods (needle sweep, operating windows by key fob, and reverse mirror tild). Please PM me if you care to help me out on this, name your price kinda thing..

Also, not that I have anything to show off (read: stock) but where/when are your meets?

[witwer4444]

I know I'm new to the area and most of you guys know the local cars more than I do, but heres a few shitty iPhone pics from C&C this morning. The best part was I can now officially say my S4 has been in the same photograph as a Ferrari Testarossa.
