Update. As the spring approaches more pictures to follow. This one will be a slow rebuild as I want to make sure its right. Not going to do this again. Had a few ideas on upgrades but I may just stay with the old setup.

I was down at ClassicAuto and forgot to take pictures of the progress on my 10th AE. But here is some pictures of my ODULA lip and new bumper for my 89.

Took the time in getting all of the metal brackets sanded and painted. Car will still be around when there is no more gas

Wow Ian, that must have cost quite a premium for that harness.


I need to get my car painted too. I wonder what it costs. I was quoted quite a bit and that was just for a repaint, not a stripped to bare metal. My bumpers are peeling bad but the body is okay. I might just get the bumpers redone and drive it for a couple more years.

So do you have it back yet?

What's it look like?

Will it see the road before your son is too old to drive it and they run out of gasoline?

Who really killed Osama?

I should have let you drive my car before I started to modify it. Might have changed your mind about going back to completely stock... It was sloooowwwww.

+1 on S4's being slow as ***** bone stock.

At least build it a nice quiet exhaust, keep an intake of some sort on it and run 12psi. Then they've got enough power to keep up with traffic.

I just want to drive it. Nice and quiet with the no issues and pass emissions The 400hp was fun but loud and stinky and could never get the car to run perfect. I would turn on the A/C and the car would stall IF I could do it all again it would be all stock with the exception of a PFC to fit a stock harness and a BNR turbo. 250 to 300rwhp and its all good

I'm shocked your post count is inching closer to my.

You should try out my s2000. 19,000 km on the clock. One quick spin and you would be impressed. I just put gasoline in her, change the oil and that is it. I also get 8 litter per 100 km too and it is all city driving for me now. I live 10 mins from work.
