My S4 NA to S4.5 Turbo Build Thread(PICS)
give up on the custom front lips. corksport sells an s4 front lip that will probably look better than anything made from home depot supplies unless you have vast knowledge with molding fiberglass. just save yourself some time and save your money and buy one of those or get an s5 bumper plenty of lips for that one.
Heres the thing though Cambam... I have all the **** at my house laying around. So why not? if it looks good awesome.. if not im saving for a kit, im not that into the stock look. everyone runs Fc's with S5 fronts and lips. If you cant tell I like my **** to be different.

I cry foul about the blue RX-8! I wasn't driving!
However, go ahead and add the 87 RX7 turbo II on there! You did get me with that one!
Sorry about this weekend! I blew an oil cooler line at about 90 mph at turn 7 on the north loop at beaverun. It got a bit exciting (and sideways!).
I had to get teh car towed to a buddies house. Now, I have to go up there and fix that car so I can drive it back!
Are you still having any problems with your car?
Shoot me note, or post it up here if you are still having issues!

Well Im still having issues so I havent been driving it at all. I really think its my TPS but I cant find a good one anywhere. Which cooler line? I blew my Return?( not the long solid one) 2 days after buying my car. I used 1/2 inch hydrolic hose.
-way to not take me with you...***
-Oh and when I get my **** fixed Ill run your 8 again.
I will check to see if I have a good S4 tps. If I do, I guess I can send you that and the ECU.
It looks like i am going to be busy with work until at least Tuesday.
I feel like such a dick! I need to make it up there for a good 4 or 5 hours!
Let me see what I can do on Friday.
It was the front oil cooler line. It duped all of the oil directly onto the drivers side rear tire! Talk about a big scary moment!

Rob, called you last night had an issue with the GTUs to talk about, you saw the thread. Heres a pic:

And heres my clip. Drivetrain goes into the GTUs and the RHD is going into my S4/5

CLip I got from my friend who has an import campany. He doesnt normally import FC parts unless I order so if you want one I can try for you but his last 3 containers of the year just arrived so you would have to wait till next spring. I only payed around 2 for everything including door panels and body panels.
next spring will be a good time ill be getting a raise around then and have been able to save money. probably not but we will see. but ill keep this idea in mind. and if i were to get one could it possibly be shipped to me?
Not too bad. Just two holes in the firewall, pull your motor to install the crossmember, and swap all the wiring and dash. I might even sell you mine if I decide not to do my swap.
Ok so its been a LONG time since I have updated any of this but It has come a long way and I have pics to prove it. I have a pile of parts ready to go on.

DUDES A FREAK!!!!
j/k

Nice car man.
I hope you dont get anything waxy or greasy on the primer lol, it will be so shiny.
That shineauto lip looks awesome, I was thinking of getting one and trying to modify it for a S4 bumper since I dont really want to buy turn signals lights if I do go S5 bumper lol.
