I hate that body kit. It looks like it's dragging the ground. I see it everywhere online too. So yeah... I think we're all addicts here. Oh well, everyone needs something to ruin their life with.

S5 hubs will work, and I think only the rear rotors need to be changed, right? You might also want the beefier booster and master cylinder.

well if he uses the 4pot calipers up front he needs the hubs and rotors. But im not running the big rotors/calipers in the back just the normal stock base model thin's, and still on the original MC and booster.

Must've been an N/A FC Lou, no self respecting TII owner would race the car you described.

Oh alright... well same deal. It's a S4 N/A so he's gonna need practically everything if he wants the full benefit.

Yes, but YOU DON'T KNOW THE POWAH of the full turbo braking system! Well maybe you do, because you had one... but then again, it had ABS so that doesn't cooouuunt.

hopefully u have a engine puller and u dont use a comealong like i do with a aframe built out of 2by4s......it really sucks when it starts swaying and u get hit in the head.


and on a side note i got my motor in and all i have to do is put the intake system on hook the harness back up and fire it up.oh and i have to make a omp blockoff plate and another blockoff palte (acv i believe is its name).i would of had all this done last night but i spent alot of wasted hours trying to get a s4 filler neck to work with a s5 waterpump housing so i could use a s4 radiator. but all i needed to do was just swap the whole waterpump in the first place which took about 5 min.

oh and i have a question regarding the autox rules what will they say about me having my battery relocated to the rear hatch. its in a box and straped down but im more concerned that they might not like that theres no fuse on the bigass powerline. (i couldnt find one,well actually i didnt know which kind i needed)

as long as the battery is secured to the car they shouldnt say much about it, let along try and track down the battery cables to find an inline fuse for it.

I'll help Cody, you know the digits.

You're getting close Carmen! *crosses fingers* Umm I can't find the rules... I know I've seen them online before. I think for relocations, you have to have it in a sealed box (if it's a wet cell) and bolted down. Anyone know where that rules page was?
