You just need a host for pics. Do you use tapatalk mobile app? It has the ability to add from your camera and they host the pics. Otherwise, you'll need a google drive , Dropbox , or a like host.

Email them to me and I'll post them. [email protected]

Wow, what a roller coaster of a ride. Good luck on getting your car up and running again. Would love to check out your build when it's done. I'm in the Bay Area as well.

I found photobucket works the best. For me at least.

Also, saw your IG pic Gumby, I envy your cactus, I've always wanted one

**cinimod25461** · 01-13-2016 11:15 PM

Could have kept the car stock and gone widebody with all the money you've spent on it haha. That's a nice list of parts there and it sounds like your car will be a beast once it's all finished. Good luck with the build! Where in the Bay Area are you?

Cactus

And you might want to edit your first post a little but, it's quite unreadable without paragraphs?

Awesome car, I really hate to hear about you getting screwed over like that by pretty much everyone, hopefully things get better

Having driven just about every suspension setup that exists on a B5 S4, I would agree that the Ohlins are sweet. They do feel fantastic, although not ideal for most people on a street car seeing that they require rebuilds so often.

Every 20k actually but yeah.

**sherbet** · 03-29-2016 11:20 PM

Well not so bad I guess, the older stuff was closer to 10 or 15k, iirc. The way I see it, if you daily the car, its going to be a giant headache deal with so often but if the S4 doesn't see daily use, 20k could take a while to rack up.

Just not worth it for me on a street car. The adjustability is cool, but for about half the price, properly adjusted KW V3's are just as capable on the street.

I daily a B8.5 S4
But the ohlins have about 10k on them

I guess the titanium is the old name for it. Looks great though. The red is so fresh on the B8.

Two badass s4's! The cactus green with sport package is tits. Also are your coilovers the new TTX ohlins or the older Stasis motorsports? Either way a great mod.
