Thought I'd poke my head in and say hi since I spend most of my time on the PNW forum.

I picked up a phantom black '08 with the titanium package. Ohlins were already on the car and it rides amazingly well. I haven't been in any other RS4 before but feel right at home, and is my third Audi so far. Not looking to do a ton of mods, maybe an exhaust and some tint and call it a day.

I took a hiatus from performance street cars after I sold my old Evo, but had been getting the itch again lately. I strongly considered a new CTS-V and a few other options, but I couldn't be happier with the RS4.



Anyway, I'll probably be in here from time to time.

Here's a few shots from my garage, since it's too miserable to want to go outside for pictures now.

Default That would have been fun, but I got tired of being pulled over daily in the Evo.

The Subie has been the perfect commuter car for the last two years and will help keep miles off the RS4. Of course I couldn't leave it alone, put on an STI suspension and a whole bunch of bushings and suspension/brake goodies.

Default Mainly because it was an Evo, but loud exhaust, waste gate dump, and a wing didn't help either.

Oh, and no front plate was the most common ticket. Man, I don't miss that. It was fun on the track though but ended up breaking more than it drove.

Great learning experience though. In the final iteration I did all the engine work and all the AEM tuning and it ran flawlessly, until the clutch broke.
