Mister Jerry. Long time no see. What's happening with your oily turbos?
I will check fitament. Dunno really what to do about clearence. I figure its just something you have to deal with. For city driving, I would probably leave the ride height a bit higher if it became an issue.
The VM1 is pretty large and hasn't been a problem on stocker.

Not much... some random annoyances
New AC compressor in a few days
Squeaking.. Hoping its related to brakes
Front brake pads need to be worn down.
Car might be chipped, if not I have a freak show stock s4.
Hoping to go Stage3 mid-summer. =p
Oh yes and most importantly I need to decide and buy new tires. I drift in corners.

I hear ya - as you know, with the B5S4 it never ends - but fundamentally it's worth it
or so the story goes ;^) - yes, I believe it's worth it (even more so when I'm driving)
Seriously, before you go stg 3, save up a lot - like 15k or so as a baseline (but have a figure of 25k+ in the back of your mind for the near term expenses)
- KO4's & inlets
- coating for exhaust mainifolds (yes, do this)
- DP's (coat these too)
- SMIC's
- Fueling, including fuel pump
- Clutch
- Transmission work (maybe not)
- new mounts (think you have done some recently)
- new hoses, gaskets, clamps, vac lines, valves
- new sensors (do some during install, wait on others, but have them on hand if you can)
- fluids
- suspension, install & alignment
- labor
- miscl extras (they're there, hiding, wating...)
- don't forget to factor in shipping and tax costs
I'm sure I'm forgetting something...
Crunch the numbers for what you want, redo it 3 times, then add ~ 3k

Audi should establish a trust fund or something like a 401k match - LOL
for every $100 we spend, they match $10 - or credit us $10...okay, waking up now...
dang, you are lucky, oh so lucky to have the S2000 as a second/daily driver!
My Ducati is down, S4 is down, I'm down! =^)
So is this what it's like to come down from heroin? Is there a performance addiction support group...
Is there anyone I can pay to have a ride!? LOL - yes, sense of humor remains intact
