Audi S4000 - Alaska

[Namreg Rac]

Looks fantastic!

You probably know this but I am the "dude" from Alaska who made the order with you a week or so ago. Name is Sean.

Ok...I seriously have to ask. Who in the hell did you buy this car off of and how come I didn't know about this? Hell I live 25 miles away!!!

[Namreg Rac]

The guys name was Briar Purdue. He purchased the car from a guy who lived in Phoenix but was from Ohio. He had already sold it to a guy who is selling a white 4K in Portland but I offered him his asking price and he took it. Seemed like a good guy. He never registered it in his name to keep it a one owner. It was a kind of a shitsho, which happenes to be his outlook name.

Anyways I spotted it on Bring a Trailer and had to have it. SO I got it. The rest is history.

Crazy what it has become. Completely molested now but a lot sicker.

Here is another write up I found after we made the deal.

Look at how ugly those BBS are. My lord, it was a travesty. What are they, 12's?

I didn't pay 9800 for it either, that was before he had dropped the price to a little less insane number

[audifreakjim]

Haha, my car originally came with those wheels.

Hey Sean, glad to see you made it over here and went with Hank's manifold.

You could have had Marc migrate your thread, but I do like the Cliff Notes version... like you said, the fun stuff is on tap.

[Namreg Rac]

I kind of tried to highlight the things I thought were cool or unique to what seems to be a relatively common swap. I'm sure they aren't but to me they were all original ideas

But the fun stuff is just beginning. Thanks for getting me over here. I got hooked up with the AngryTaco, we have been discussing some things and products.

Here is a question, does this forum follow the reverse ideology towards the other guys or is it a little more open and less NAZI?

[UrSobsessed]

Nice work! Such a nice clean example!

[Namreg Rac]

Thanks man/woman

[ringbearer]

That's Dace. I've never met him but believe him to be male.

This forum is very open and was made after a certain subject (07K swaps) were banned/deleted at another site (MG).

Keep up the good work, we all enjoy wacthing and contributing where we can.

[PRY4SNO]

As Dan mentioned ^^^ we are all about the free and open exchange of ideas here. If you have an idea or question... let fly!

I haven't installed/used any of my HPR products from Jared yet, but I cannot wait. Looks to be the business.

And we are allowed to be critical of who/whatever. No black helicopters

That works. Just don't be critical of me or else I will use the anonymity of the internet to be critical of you. Completely unjustified I may add

Last drive before major mod 2014 begins.

That's awesome! I quite jealous of the scenery you get to run around in.

[Namreg Rac]

Yeah it can be nice. It can me mean too....For like 7 months actually.

[Namreg Rac]

Just added a full 3" exhaust to go with the IROZ header and downpipe. Should be sick.

Here, we have freedom of speech. It's refreshing isn't it? If someone has a problem, they bring it up, and the other party is more than welcome to come and share their side of the story or clear things up publicly. Noone here is afraid to speak their mind. What a revelation!

Keep the updates coming. I'm working with a guy from Fairbanks right now. Seems like you guys just grin and bare the cold up there! You've got the perfect car to help deal with it

[Namreg Rac]

Freedom of speech is a good thing.

I don't think the 034 guys have much to do with the MG forum anymore. WHen I get my bushings and mounts from AngryTaco I am going to do some advertising for him. We will see if they catch it. Fall is pretty sweet in Ak, 15 deg F at sea level makes for some serious air density. Gotta watch for the ice though.

[AngryTaco]

Yeah go search the 034 product thread/forum and look for the super long thread I started about their motor mounts.....it didn't end well.

Hear, I'm allowed to make some awesome ones and harra.....er "upsell" my own

[Namreg Rac]

Finally get to start working on this thing. Got all my stuff from IROZ.

[ringbearer]

Purdy!
