This S4 may wear the badge of an everyday S4 but it’s an Audi all its own. From bumper to bumper, a little something has been added to nearly every part of this car to make it even more impressive than S4s come naturally. Brembo brakes, APR pulley and ECU, Milltek exhaust,P3 Gauge, Eurocode long tube headers and a collection of suspension upgrades meet with some sleek wheels to complete the project and make this Audi something truly special.

Was the electronic parking brake function retained when the rear BBK was installed?

Just curious what the purpose of this build was. All the parts are the generally accepted "correct" mods for the B8/8.5... but they've all been out for quite some time. Are you guys planning any R&D on the car, or is this just your shop car/marketing tool? Or is this a customers vehicle who just went hard? Usually builds are progressive whereas it looks like you guys just went to town on a brand new S4 over a week or two.

I kind of like the mud flaps, could look cool in the snow when the car is filthy.

this is SkyWagon's car, so no. He no longer has a functioning e-brake.

In those pics I don't see the BBK, and the ride height looks stock. Are those not the "final" pics?

ikr? wtf.

Wow... Balls deep! All and everything... surprised you guys went with springs - woulda thought with that install list you'd have gone with coils.
Mud flaps were a flop tho... and I don't know what it is - the final pics are a bit un-impressive... the install list is very impressive - but doesn't look the part.

haha! The drag on those mud flaps must be hideous and impeding airflow for aerodynamic purposes reducing 1/4 times by atleast 1 full second! I bet Westifer could inform the actual down force being produced for obvious performance reasons and why they should be left on there though.[:D]

lots of great mods all at once, should have made a huge improvement in the car. kinda dig the flaps, especially color matched.... Exhaust looks great and so do those headers that can be barely seen. no rear rings look better than i expected they would. Nice work

I can't believe how many people don't realize this is Sky's car. Guess people just don't pay attention. Lol

Headers and chassis brace are my favorite parts, but I actually like the mud flaps too. That is one seriously badass Audi.

This car is well known here. We're also all aware that the mods have produced almost no gains. That's certainly not Sky's fault. These pics also predate the "hood mod." Until he's able to sort out the problems with 8.5's and the tune, I'm not so sure his car is much of an effective advertisement.

All I know is his wallet was smoking that day! Heck of a mod list and it sounds like the tune issues are being resolved so I am sure he will have numbers to support the money spent to go fast!
