Thanks man...Actually it was my own silliness.
I wanted a STi to begin with, but ended up settling with a WRX. When you really get into Suby modding you see that a WRX, while an awesome car, is simply not an STi.... no matter what you do to it. Sure my rex was fast as an STi in a straightline, but nothing can come down to the performance and durability of the STi transmission. DCCD is absolutely awesome, and at the power level I was at in the Rex, everyday I drove it I was at a risk of bomb-shelling the tranny, simply because the 5 Speeds in the WRX are not adept to handling higher torque loads without a PPG tansmission build ($6k plus)....
Then you have the Brembo brakes, various suspension bits everywhere, the interior, HIDs (not a simple swap if done correctly), engine internals, hubs, etc... Its simply not worth buying a WRX and pumping money into it to get it to the level of its big brother, it will cost sooo much more....
So for the time being I love the A4, and hope to get a 06 STi in the not to distant future to compliment its slower, more comfortable turbo AWD brother :), till then let the Audi modding commence!
Thanks for the welcome guys, this seems to be a cool forum!
