I dont think the wheels are all that bad, but with the height of the car its tough to pull them off- lower with those wheels would be better

i dont think theres too much red. its just the right amount to me. atleast you didnt go overboard and started painting unnecessary **** like painting the center dash and vents.

not much, its just a 6 port with a big port, meaning that the 2 port are now 1 big port, T70 turbo, jw intake, pro-jay throtle body adapter, 4 1600cc injectors, microtech lt10s , msd coils, act clutch, aeromotive pump,aeromotive frp, right now is dyno @349@ 11 lbs, couldnt raise boost to 20 lbs due to ignition breakup at 6000 rpm, will be installing msd dis in the next few weeks and will try again to see what can i get at 20 lbs.

They may not look like much, but my wheels are only 10lbs each! Logic ASSO. Popular rally wheels in the 80s-90's. Ditching them for 17s, though.

I would love to see the dyno graph from your car. I've never heard of the 6 ports being combined before. Did you do any research on this setup or did you decide to just try it? I assume the 5th/6th ports are always open?

The 4-5 port is now 1 port, and yes they are always open, this setup isnt new, this port setup is being around for years.

That particular diffuser is carbon fiber, though, right? How much do one of those babies run?

my first FC, 87 S4 (base model i believe, crank windows 4 lug, no AAS no cruise)

picked it up for 1200 with 77k miles, almost fresh rebuilt motor. previous owner couldnt figure out why it wouldnt start when hot. got it home and it wouldnt start it all, even though i drove it around down there and recreated his issue. anyways, found out the fuel pump went bad and has been running great ever since! gotta pick up a catalytic converter and air pump before it can pass inspection...went and got inspected for a temp tag and the idle HC was 1700! limit is 220... this is my first car and i am so overwhelmed...i dont know where i want to start with mods!! damn 4 lugs make it so hard to find rims :/

here it is with my dad helping tow it home

I just got a quote from ShineAuto. You can get it in carbon fiber or fiber glass, I was quoted at around $450 shipped.

And if you are extra baller, throw on another $450 for the outer canards, and middle diffuser slits, that no one ever gets. My buddy has the "full set" of rear diffuser...best thing I ever saw. I will infact be buying the whole set.
(Prolly in fiberglass though... Its cheaper, better for a daily driver (IE: Fixable) and if I get CF, its going to stick out from all the "black" body addons I will have... And they dont make the other stuff I want in CF...)
