Deckdout2's Intro/Build Thread

Yummy, looks nice! I actually ditched my AWE pedals (were not a good fit on the long run, screws coming loose, etc.) and am waiting for RS pedals as well (manual version). Did not go for the dead pedal though. Looking forward to see pictures of yours installed!

The pedals were straight forward, but a bitch to get on, just cause of the tight tolerances, and you have to stretch the rubber backing around the pedals and such. I still don't think I have the gas pedal on all the way, but I'll look at that again later. In terms of aesthetics, it's sick. Really completes/adds to the interior! I really want your Air Leather Flat Bottom Steering wheel! I'm still debating with going full air leather or partial air, cause they both look really good.

How much of a drop are the super sport springs rated at again?

[Deckdout2]

Thanks guys! I'm really enjoying the new mods.

Drop is 1.5F/2.0R. It's the perfect stance for me. The ride is better than I expected without going for coilovers, but my biggest concern was keeping my ADS, which this allows me to do.

[trinacria]

Absolutely Siick

Maybe I missed it, but I didn't see a write-up from the OP about his thoughts after he installed the tune, pulley, intake and exhaust. I saw the dyno numbers, but I'd like to hear your thoughts on how the car feels once you put those mods on and how it compares to stock form.

[Sin_city_Rings]

VERY sexy dude! Keep up the great work.

[BartJanssen]

How does it handle with the H&R springs.... Some say; "don't mess with the suspension, engineers way smarter than us have designed the car's suspension so don't ruin it".... other say, "lowering car with the springs makes the car handle better and look better" WTF, a bit confusing!

Thanks!

It handles great! I'm a suspension guru since I auto-x and all. I want that tight, no body roll feeling without sacrificing ride comfort. These are perfect for that. If my F/R H&R sways ever come in, it'll be a force to recon with. Right now I still have some body roll, but it's still much better than stock.

I really need to wash my car soon. lol

I'm not sure what else I could say that hasn't been said already, other then it pulls like a bat outta hell. Not exaggerating here. The issue I have is that I didn't get much seat time with the car in stock form. Only about a couple weeks, and then I modded the hell out of it, so in terms of improvements, I knew they were there, but my comparisons wouldn't be much help since the car was pretty fast out of the box already. I know it's faster, but by how much, don't really know. I can say this, after having these mods on for a couple months or so now, it's slow to me again. I need moar! ha

[Deckdout2]

Just got the S4 professionally detailed also in preparation for the winter weather. I'm happy with the results.

[Okan509]

whats going on where the bumper meets the headlight?



Love this shot

[Deckdout2]

I had the bumper off a couple times for the Pulley install and the Supercharger install. Something's not clipped right back there, but I've moved since, and I don't have a garage anymore or the time at the moment to pull it and make it right. When the new place gets settled and I pickup my tools from storage, I'll tackle it in the parking garage.

[ilspazzaneve]

Looks fabulous detailed, best colour combination for sure (Ibis/Magma FTW).

Hit the track, buddy, while the DA's are low!!

I know right! I'll be there on the 19th mang!

[MANNYS4]

You have one beautiful car sir.
How much did you pay for your detail and what was done?

[KarimS3]

Very tastefully modded. How much did you dyno?

[Deckdout2]

You have one beautiful car sir.

Thanks sir!

I paid $300 for the full detail. I try to keep my car pretty clean anyway, but after this detail I could really tell that it just needed a little TLC. I think this is the 1st time this S4 has seen any wax or detail like this. The detailer went over the entire car with me during the initial inspection and pointed out things like light swirl marks, and semi flat gloss on the paint. He said it's harder to see on a white car, which I believe him now. After he was done, the paint was so smooth, and felt really clean with a reflection I've never seen before. It was well worth the money. I anticipate doing this twice a year, once right before winter to protect the paint, and once again before summer next year. He also charges $40 for a wash and spray wax which will help maintain the condition of the detail, so next time I go in for a detail it won't be so much work and he stated that it should be less expensive. I'm happy with the end results none the less.

Here is what was included:

- Wash
- Claybar
- 2 Coats of Polish
- 1 Coat of Sealant
- Engine Detail
- Interior Detail
- Conditioned Leather
- Wheels Waxed and Sealed
- Waxed All Carbon Pieces

Very tastefully modded. How much did you dyno?

Thank you! I have not gone back to the dyno since my last 356ish awhp. Now that I know how to "properly" dyno this car I'm going to go back soon, and see what I can actually pull.
