Default New S4 Owner in JC (Honda-to-Audi Convert)

Just wanted to make my first post as a new Audi owner, as I just picked up a 2001 Nogaro S4 yesterday from New Hampshire (I live in the infamous Jersey City). Traded in the S2000. I'll miss the sound of 9000 RPM, but this torque thing at 1800 RPM isn't too bad!

Who are the other owners in the JC area on the board? I know there are 2 other S4s in my parking garage. And anyone have some recommendations on dealers and/or aftermarket shops in the area? A short shifter is first on my list of new purchases.

Default I was one of them, but my car was stolen. Many S4s get stolen in JC

First thing contact, Zev@avalonmotorsports.com to get the kill switch.

Sorry to hear that. Was it on the street or in a garage?

Default Don't let it ruin your day, but be aware. There has been a rash of NJ thefts, I was one of them. (m

If you can, get some type of security system or kill switch that "kills" the cars ECU. That's the only way your car won't be taken without the use of a tow truck. Almost all of the cars that are recovered are found in the Newark area. Also keep an eye on your headlights as they are being stolen lately without taking the car.

It sucks, but you made a great choice in the S4 and I'm sure you'll enjoy it. Just one of those things you need to deal with in NJ. Best of luck.
