He also said that he can get anything from RS4 grills, to complete motors. Pretty much any part.

He said he can get RS4 engines? That would surprise me.

Default The RS4 engine is an off-the-shelf item...

If you wanted an RS4 motor and no tuners had them, it would be relatively easy to fly to England, as dealerships in the UK can get RS4 crate motors and deliver them through the service department of any dealership. Installation, as opposed to buying the motor, would be the problem - as with most automotive products. Parts are plentiful, time is not.

Default In addition...

... one purpose of using a U.S. tuner is not having to make a plane flight to England or Germany or wherever. Making the pipeline between the customer and the import part is one advantage to using a tuner's services as opposed to sourcing parts yourself.

Is this an RS4-lookalike kit that fits the S4, or the RS4 bits?

Default I'm pretty sure it's not just an RS4-lookalike bumper...

I know he has the entire body kit coming. This includes all body panels except the hood, roof, trunk lid, and front doors. He said parts are reasonable, somewhere around $5k.<p>Corey S

Default If this were an Audi part, I would agree, but its from Quattro AG. I can't imagine (m)

they are building enough of these motors to support aftermarket in addition to actual replacements of original RS4 engines. If this is true, it's very cool, but it seems wierd.

Default It's true...

We are importing a wide array of RS4 items now that they are readily available.
Typical timeframe is 10days-2weeks across the pond.
In answer to Brian's question, the motors are available, we actually will be taking delivery of one at the end of this month for a swap into an S4.
The source, I can't give you for obvious reasons, but motors are available along with everything else from quattro gmbh.
