    Time to move on

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Well it was a tough decision for me but I made the call to finally step out of the S4 and into something a little bigger. I was always hesitant to make the move because of my obssesion for the manual trans. But I'm ready and willing to try something new and different for a while and give my left leg a break in the process, working for the dealer makes it a very easy decision for me . I have had a B6 S4, B7 RS4, B8 S4 and B8.5 S4 so I will definitely miss the 4 platform but I think I'm ready to upgrade to something new and different. I will be picking up my new S6 next week, Mythos black with Arras red interior, driver assist, black optics, sport package. I will always check in on the S4 boards for the latest and greatest on 3.0 information as I still have my Q5 3.0. My plan is to be back on the B9 RS4 eventually but in the mean time, there will be a part out on my car. Everything in my signature plus eurocode headers and KW V3's. I will be posting up in the classifieds section at some point today but don't be strangers if you need some help on this platform or even looking for a new car , I'm always happy to help!

    the funny thing is that I'm contemplating the same thing. going to hold the S4 for a while longer, but considering the S6 in another year or two. know you will enjoy it.

    The S6 is an amazing car, a tune and sway bars turn that platform into a monster. Pictures are needed once you pick it up!

    I hate being the one to ask, but I'm sure you saw this coming.... Does this mean the stage 3 kit didnt pan out like you hoped?

    Good luck richi. I wish you would have stuck around just a little bit longer to really test out the stage 3 kit as you seem like the only person really interested in figuring out what it can do, but either way, I completely understand wanting to move on.

    Congrats!
    Enjoy the S6... gorgeous car!
    B9 RS4 would be my next move if we ever got them here... otherwise probably P-Car route. No making moves in a while though, my S4 only has 32k miles and I've just finally got it properly sorted out just like I like it. Not to mention it's paid off...
    Keep in touch with us and post up some pics when you get the new yacht!

    no this actually had nothing to do with stage 3, it was an employee deal i couldnt pass up so i jumped on it. I am very happy with my stage 3, and im sure once the new pulley drops it will be more of a rocket.
