Recent urs6, new to the forums

Greetings all! I've lurked AudiWorld for years, but finally decided to join and post... I hope I have time to keep up!
I recently bought another Audi, '95.5 S6 avant. Emerald Green, with a few mods:
Big Reds
MTM Stage 1
Bilsteins
H&Rs
Forge DV
A pillar pod w/boost gauge
Original engine, turbo, and tranny w/312k miles when I bought it. I'll hit 314k before I empty the tank of gas I'm on.
Why buy a car with 314k? The price was right and I always wanted a urS car since I first drove a '94 S4 in '95. I needed an excuse to replace my Volvo 850R wagon. I like to tinker. It came with maintenance records.
So far I have fixed/replaced:
t-belt & water pump (ah, some fond memories of this job)
1 coil
O2 sensor
tailgate wiring
front rotors & pads
oil & filter change w/Mobil 1
New Bosch Platins
Fast and fun to drive... but I have the urge for other mods such as exhaust, exhaust manifold, bigger turbo, injectors, thinking RS2... but I'd also like to see how many miles I can rack up as is.
Thoughts?

Where in WI? I'm in the Appleton area, there's a good VW / Audi following here.
Check out the regional forums on Vortex. There's a fox valley thread that's one of the top 3 longest running threads on Vortex.

I'm planning on going to Oshkosh again this summer
Probably staying in Fon du Lac.
Tell me more about the local places to go eat/drink. I like to take in the local color and not support franchise operations. =)

Impressive mileage...
So much for the 'rod bearings going at 250k' theory...Is the clutch original by any chance? Mine just turned 217k and I'm wondering how far I can keep going. You just gave me hope...
