How exactly does one pic a car? With a potato, I surmise?

Sigh. Mine too. Been there since Tuesday, still trying to figure out why no fuel pressure.

Yes, new Ford OEM pump installed a month ago, new fuel rail pressure sensor, new fuel filter. Le Suck fest.

What are you having done? We work on lots of S4's, and they're great when they're sorted. If that's yours in the pic, it looks sweet!

Suspension overhaul. Stasis Ohlins coilovers, full front end assembly, new hotchkiss sway bar bushings, and rear diff carrier bushings.

Excellent, worth waiting for. It'll be a transformed car. I've driven a couple on Ohlins, and they're brilliant. The diff bushings make a huge difference to the ever-present B5 rear-end clunk on takeoff & shifts. Enjoy it!

Thank you for the kind words! Yea I wanted to keep it as classy as possible; no tints, stickers, etc. most of the money I put into performance parts, the exhaust note is deep and carries, but low enough that its a pleasure to drive. I rather like it to look nice and simple on the outside (mature?), with just wheels being my way to express my self. Oh, and the vanity plate! All in all, I helps me keep a low profile, cops dont see me, which I love.
