Default I still don't think that it should be your first mod. I think it should be early in your modding...

cycle. I still drive every day by some of the stuff I learned in performance drivers school.

Let me add one more thing. I have been driving for over 30 years before I got my S4. Are you that old?

Default Point well taken and much appreciated...

I'm 36 and have only been driving just a touch over 20 years. Lots to learn...hope to gain more knowledge before I'm relegated to driving just a golf cart.

Default I think that golf carts are along ways off (even for me).

I am almost 50 years old and always carry my own clubs. Sadly, there are some courses that make you take carts whether you want one or not.

You are older than most of the crowd on this board these days. Sorry. There are many low 20's on here lately.

Default Agreed!...golf carts in a figurative sense...

my preference is to walk as well when I hit the links.

Default I Will Call It Quits At Stage 3+ (Which Will Be Soon)..I'm Already At Stage 3+ On My Porsche 951 And

that's more than enough HP for the street. At Stage 3+ in the Porsche, I can blow away most of the cars that think they have a chance; I expect the same result with my S4 (currently in the operating room (at the mechanic) getting K03 hybrids, or K04s - still deciding).

Default I'm there now, actually made a post about it not too long ago...

I've decided to replace my car in a couple of years. I plan to make the most of what I've currently got until that time. I have enough mods at the moment where the car should keep me sufficiently entertained. There are certain areas where I see room for improvement (suspension, turbos/fueling), but no plans to upgrade said parts because of the impending replacement. If I planned on keeping the car for the long haul, I'd still have quite a few mods on the to-do list (OHLINS or other really nice suspension, hybrids and necessary fueling upgrades, Stasis center diff and LSD).

Default I remember your earlier post well. Congrats. I was hoping that I could understand the mod spiral.

As soon as I go for K04 fueling, I think I am done with this car for mods. This has been a fun car, but on to the next one!
