Default Heh, got like the 8' kit to do maybe 18" of stuff. I have some of the Series2 2" insulation tape

if you want to wrap your intake pipes(if you haven't already). Bought two packs and used the first and maybe 2' of the other...

Thanks for the offer though!

Default I thought about that and then my brain kicked in...

Shiny aluminum line filled with synthetic oil not contacting anything it wasn't designed for (and it was designed to contain conventional oil). Air is a great insulator and the material is a perfect radiation shield.

I *DID* wrap the lower inlet pipes with 1200deg thermal tape though. For $20, why not... and the same can be said for your sheath

Default I've driven lots of S4's, mostly 01 and up...

And the only thing I seem to ever notice that's different while driving one is the extra button on the dash that needs to be turned to its misnomer of an "off" position.

Default Maybe overkill as I think any modder is going to run synth but... I did all 4 intake pipes in

the thicker stuff with safety wire... as well as Swainteching a set of manis, which I ported/smoothed slightly, along with spacers and ported mani(already done)... will the madness ever end?

Default You can make your car act similarly in most situations...

Invest in a stasis 4:1. Best part: You can install it in under an hour

Default just kidding about it, but what else changed?

If '01+'s had real NAV screens I definitely would've bought one. Since I was buying out of warranty for stage 3, I figured the extra expensive sensors of '01+ ESP would be a liability.

Oh, do you think AVC-R will work with APR software? Do MBC-only even work on apr? I would like to get it wired up soon. thanks

Default It's worth it. 100%.

The car actually ROTATES with the throttle! (And I still have the stock sway. Can't put a price on that.
