My car has changed a lot since I last posted pics. I was having oil temp issues, so I went with dual oil coolers in the brake ducts, which helped a lot, but still not enough. The s4 brake duct openings were too small, so I picked up this Shine Auto half bumper. (I'm an s4 pride guy, so it had to be a half bumper, so choices were easy). To go with the front bumper, I had to pick up Shine Auto skirts too... then G35 mudguards to go with all of those. I changed my exhaust from a Corksport to a Racing Beat REV II so I don't have to deal with cops anymore. Then my stock vert wheels didn't go well with the kit, so I had to pick up these RPF1s. They were originally silver, but I had them powdercoated white. They're 17x9 +22 all around (so they're all concave). Tire sizes are not ideal, but they came with the wheels and they were basically brand new, so I'm going to live with them for now. Next tire set I'll change to better sizes... but for now they're 235/45/17 front, and 245/45/17 rear. Next tire set I'm going 245/40/17 front, 255/40/17 rear.





This last pic has the flash used to show the intercooler/oil coolers. Without flash, the intercooler and oil coolers are dark enough to not be seen easily

I'm not liking the front camber so I'm picking up Shine Auto Foresight replica front fenders on Monday.

Thank you so much for putting the S4 lights on there to match the S4 style molding.

Here is my S4, need to wash the car and take some nicer pictures:

What up gents here is my FC,Shine 30mm front fenders,custom rear roll & pull. All work done by ME,including the paint,nissan chrome silver on white sealer!!!!.

I went to 7stock & got turned away(too late for show/no more space) so then I drove it back home & went to show in my DD,I get in & there was a grip of space & cars parked all silly style.

HAHAHHA whatever

I got one of those right here Alex:



^old pic btw

Since my car was/is so low, I convinced the driver to pull the car up the ramp by the UIM (hence the open hood). The angle of the truck isn't quite clear in the pic, but it was a serious 30*, and I was expecting at any time for the UIM to rip off the engine. But the UIM held the car up while the driver *took his time* strapping down the rest of the car.

I wasn't going to mention it, but the first tt guy left me on the side of the road too. He said he was worried about damaging my engine. I told him "Look my engine's already blown, I've been waiting an hour-and-a-half..." but to him I was just some loser with an import, and he left me on the side of the uphill freeway. The second guy was slow, but bottom line is he helped me, and no damage was ever done.

My car runs now, but I'm driving it to Vegas in a couple weeks.... I've shared some evil plans with Karack

And MRJACK$ON, that's officially my favorite FC on the forum, or it is TheAbsence's, or Hypertek's ???

If I were the tow truck driver, I would have taken that POS straight to the junkyard across the street from Oceanside Airport or ditch it over the pacific or a lagoon
