So, I hit 100,000 miles today.

Let's do a little reminicing:

Nov 2000, I walked into my local Audi Dealership with 3 other friends and tell the saleman,
"We're going to buy FOUR s4s, it's just a matter of where we get them. What can you do for us?"
3 out of 4 of us bought the S4 and still own it to this day.

Spring 2001. I took my S4 to a BMW-CCA AutoX event. I met up with Ray Kahn and Walter....I had fun.

Late Spring - I took my first ride in a Chipped S4 - Oh boy.

Chips, Chips, and more Chips - APR Chip was cool....X-chip was better. Add in the piggie-pipes and
SIX exhausts later. I love my Milltek now =)


Feb 2002
The Winter Driving School incident

But that was the 1st of the Major mods:
OEM RS4 bumper w/fogs
OEM Rear Euro S4 bumper and lower valance
RS4 radiator with oil cooler
RS4 ICs (why not, I'm importing the rest of it anyway)

Jan 2003 - Turbos Blow at 51K. Why did I let this guy touch my car?

Feb 2003 - it's fast...but not impressive, thanks to AMS stage Blah.

Nov 2003 - I drove the car for months, but something just wasn't right...so I brought it back to innovator.

Here's the analysis

Dec 2003 - I get the car back from Shine...with a few more mods:
ported heads
Headers
RS4 Cam
OCT headgaskets

2004-2006
I have been drving my car for 2 years now...and off of AW. Disappointed with the performance, I keep naggin AMS.

Early Spring 2006, Christian (Stage1) tells me about Tony@EPL....and the rest is history =)
