Hey guys, haven't been around in awhile. OG in the house, lol. I have been keeping busy at school and on the S4. The S4 has been under major surgery. The transmission blew, the 2nd gear syncro went bad and I couldn't shift hard into 2nd gear. It was driveable but what is the point if you can't slam gears, haha.

Transmission

034 transmission mounts
Febi-Bilstein Control Arms
Painted Y-Pipe
Brake Flush
Bumpers are being repainted (again)

Mods:
Giac X/XR (Pump/Race Gas tune)
Piggie Downpipes
RS4 Clutch
Bailey Diverter Valves
Samco TBB & F-Hose
Darintake with K&N drop in
Clear Corner Mod
OEM Euro S4 Rear Bumper
OEM RS4 Grill
Tint
Upgraded Control Arms
034 Transmission Mounts
JHM Delrin Shifter Bushing
Defi boost gauge

Come back to Honda, get yourself a TLS or something.

I've heard nothing but horror stories about those S4's. Don't get me wrong, I love them, but I can't say I'd buy one.

it is really hit or miss with the s4. my last one i had no major maintenance on it. this one is plagued with stuff. but, also this is a high performance car and it takes on a lot of abuse. so, it really depends on how it is driven and maintained.

I really like the new BMW 135i. inline 6 with a twin turbo making 300hp stock. with a chip and exhaust you are looking at around 400hp. I also, like the new Mercedes Benz C300. Not fast at all but I am thinking about a change in scenery.

Yea, the 135i is a sweet little machine, me and my friend test drove one and it was so awesome, the thing pulled like a freight train even from way down low and sounded so sweet.
