Hi everyone!
Thought I'd say a proper hello after having lurked around for a little while and recently joining in on one of your GBs. I've owned the car for a few months now and I'm loving being back in the Audi fold
I bought my first Audi in 2004, a mk1 TT 225 coupe, which I upgraded over time with coilovers, Oettinger wheels, exhaust, map, Brembo BBK, V6 front, bla bla. Absolutely loved it and only moved due to it becoming a bit long in the tooth.
In the interim I've had an E46 M3 and more recently a 400bhp mk2 Focus RS:
Quite frankly nothing feels quite like an Audi, and the FWD Focus just couldn't put it's power down despite the trick diff and suspension, so I took the plunge on a stunning B8 S4 and I've not looked back. A credit to its previous owner, this is how it looked when I bought it:
And this is how it looks now with black optics, RS4 grille, BBS CKs and a drop on the coilovers:
I was extremely fortunate. This car had all the right boxes ticked from Audi (sport diff, supersports seats, MMI nav, etc.) as well as being recently kitted out with the full Revo STaSIS challenge pack at APS consisting of Alcon brakes, STaSIS alloys, Ohlins coilovers, full Milltek exhaust and APR stage 1 software.
It was just dyno'd at 370bhp/340lb-ft, which is a decent hike over standard but nowhere near its potential, so it's booked in with MRC for their stage 2 treatment in June which should see it up to 480PS+. Cannot wait!
Looking forward to getting stuck in on here and maybe meeting a few of you at a meet or two :thumbs:

Ed has been an absolute star throughout though, can't rate him and APS highly enough for their customer service.
