I searched high and low for the right S4. I was on Craigslist every day, along with eBay and AZ classifieds. I wasnt finding anthing that would work for me, i was finishing up my senior year in highschool so i couldnt really fly out and drive one back. I was stuck with my local CL.... Nothing would catch my eye, I was looking for a semi-built but still clean S4, since my mechanic skills are not up to par. Searched for weeks, nothing. I then posted a WTB ad, and I got an email from a guy in portland. Car checked out, about 150 miles from seattle, in my price range of up to $15,000. Car had an enormous amount of money invested in the last 20,000 miles. I said why not, and drove down! Car was exactly what I was looking for, enthusiest owned of course. I bought the car right there and then, and that is where im at right now! I've had it for about 3 weeks and I'm lucky to be able to say that I have my dream car at the age of 18!
About the Car: It is a 2001 with 130k on the clock. Car is Light Metallic Silver, White Alcantara, and it has the sport package!
Modifications done at 110k miles with recipts under previous owners ownership: F21 Frankenturbos w/ Inlets, J Fonz Stage 3, SRM Intake and Maf, Southbend Stage 3 daily clutch and pressure plate, SSAC V3 catted downpipes, Bosch Ev14 550cc Injectors w/ adapters, Milltek black ceramic coated exhaust, STE Performance Parameter Display, 25% tint all around.
Excuse the car being dirty, havent had time to give it a good detail/clean, been working a lot! Also I sill be doing a better job of taking pictures before and during the stages, wasnt sure if I was going to make a build/project thread so I wasnt the best at capturing all the work being done and such.

It wasnt even a week....
Luckily it was only a Vent Hose that bursted($75 at the Audi Dealership plus $32 for special coolant).
Didnt take any pictures of me installing but that above is the hose on the car.

Wish I got some pictures before, and during the proccess but I had the center muffler removed (see shiny piece of pipe in place of center box), the Milltek is great but it was too quite for me!

Bought a PODI gauge for a steal, couldnt pass it up! Just temporary because of my cluster being pixelated. I would way rather just use the STE PPD (Comes with a lot of functions), replacing the screen soon so I will be getting rid of the gauge. Havent installed completely, just a mock up to see if I will like it!
