    Red face Staz's S4!

    Hellooooooooooooooo everybody.. Figured it was about time I posted up a thread as I've had the car for a few months now. Had a B6 A4 a few years ago, then went without a car for about 2 years and well.. here I am. Was itching to get into another Audi, this time something faster out the box.

    A4 had a big turbo / euro rs4 recaros etc etc - you can read up on the drama of that car here: Staz's BT dolphin build thread

    So anyway, I went ahead and purchased this bad boy back on March 1st with 19k miles.
    Loved it since day 1 but the squeaky brakes were reaaaaaaally starting to annoy me. Interior was pretty mint, but the previous owner left it parked under trees for lord-knows how long. Paint was contaminated pretty badly, engine bay had a lot of leaves under the rain tray that this guy obviously never cleared. A few scratches here and there but nothing tooo crazy, esp for NY. Also, the dealership I bought it from said the previous owner was an Audi tech so I guess that's always a plus?

    Cars been great to me for the last 5k miles - Just drove her down to SoWo and it was a super comfy 13 hour ride both down south and back up to NY.

    Anyway, here's the mod list so far in the order they were done:

    AIRLIFT 3H (ordered & installed by my buddy Swoops - Hardlines by Swoops)
    Custom 3" intake done by ^swoops
    AWE non-resonated down pipes / track exhaust (Alan@ModBargains)
    AP Racing BBK (Alan@ModBargains)
    Ecodes (Drumnjuny - AZ member)

    Ordered my Deval CF lip & diffuser today - (once again thanks to Alan@ModBargains) -- this guy has so many bargains!!

    I want to unlock the hidden menu, order the ecs ziza led kit and activate the ambient lighting, which should look pretty good / cool.


    Considering the EPL stage 2+ dual pulley setup but I still kinda want to keep the engine and power train warranty til 40k.. Not sure if I want to risk that 1% chance that if something happens and the car needs to go to the dealer that it'll be flagged even when flashing back to stock.. I've been reading through that thread but any feedback is appreciated. Headers & test pipes would also be something I'd consider when tuning, esp if it makes the car a little louder :)

    Trying to find a set of wheels as well but can't settle on one. Something 19x10 et 30ish. Maybe s5 peelers for now and swap them to winters when the time comes. Who knows!

    More plans for the car coming soon so I'll keep you guys updated!

    Here's some pics:











    Not the best pics, but they'll do for now.. proper photo shoot coming soon..

    Also, looking for a new rear bumper as I was just rear ended a few days ago. So yeah, damage to the bumper and diffuser - and the trunk is misaligned a little too now :(

    But yeah I'm looking to source a bumper if I can as I have some paint plans for the car

    Got some pretty big plans for this car, so keep on checking in!

    Thanks for stopping by - please leave your thoughts / comments below

    - Staz

    Just curious how much the 3H kit ran you for. Been looking into it and have gotten quotes that are over 1,000 apart. Great looking car!

    The headlights really shine. Do the e-codes provide that much of a change in output alone or is your camera just that good? I went with a j-code mod on my B8 instead. Would rather put the saved money toward exhaust or tune as priority but damn those look good.

    yesssss- the ecodes are amazing - i still have to adjust the beam level though as it's a little more pointed towards the ground
