Hola guys and gals! Been on here for about a year now observing and learning and decided it was time to make a progress thread. Got this car for free but under shitty circumstances (inherited - uncle passed away)

It's a 1988 N/A with 65,000 original miles and it's fairly clean but plan on making it much cleaner. Mods, plans, and pics:

Engine: I plan on doing a TII swap down the road so keeping it pretty simple for now.

- RB dual cat-back exhaust (pre-silencer and cat removed)
- RB header (wrapped)
- K&N intake

Suspension:

- JIC coilovers
- TC Sportline strut bar

Exterior: I plan on completing all of my exterior/interior before doing the TII swap.

- HID's, smoked turns and tails
- Shine Auto CF Diffuser

Next on the list:

- Wheels (haven't decided what yet)
- Kirk racing 4 point roll bar

And pictures with my out-dated camera

 

 

nice. get some sideskirts for that thing and it will be set.

 

clean vert

 

I am torn on the rear diffuser, I really like it on coupes, not sure about it on a vert.. Let me stare at the picture for a bit...

 

Hot. I'm not too sure about the diffuser either, but the car is very sexy overall.

 

the diffuser looks bad ***. this is probably the coolest s4 vert ive seen. if only s4's came with black interior. and a turbo, definitely needs a turbo.

 

umm LOOKS like a stock bleepin car with a performance diffuser to me... stock wheels but has a diffuser. looks like parts are being bought out of order wheels first side skirts anything else but a diffuser on a stock s4 that kinda ruins the cleanliness. You pull up behind the car and get excited to see the other sides of the car and there isnt jack there.......super clean car though ok im done being the honest jerk

 

i think the difuser looks good.

thats a pretty low mileage vert.

very clean

 

look at all those birds......just eying that clean car.....

 

The reason it has stock wheels on right now is because I was looking into widening the vert bbs'. Now that I know it cant be done i'm looking for a different set... i'm picky with wheels.

 

cool good luck may i suggest some turbo sideskirts???

 

After I get my wheels and roll bar I'll be re-painting the car. At that point i'll be doing sideskirts, new mirrors (thinking RE but kinda wanna stick with power mirrors so maybe JDM folding), and possibly a new front bumper if I can't find a lip I like for the S4 bumper.

 

what kind of front lip is that????

 

Home Depot, still looking for a lip I like

 

I like it too. Pretty good looking lip for Home Depot Racing. I think the rear diffuser is a bit much but it still looks cool especially with that color scheme. Clean exterior; any interior or engine bay pics to go with it?

 

pignose lip looks good.
you can look at my album i also have a red s4 with it on there

 

Nice looking car.

If you plan on going turbo, why spend the time and money putting a header on now?

 

coming along nice

 

For wheels, consider the BBS SUPER RS they differ from the standard RS in that the spokes of the mesh are longer and the step out from the rim isn't as tall.

Compare it to my vert (with rollbar) with the standard BBS RS.

Awesome vert, your at about the same point I am with mine, I plan on doing the turbo swap but with my vert being low mileage might as well wait it out till I'm forced to rebuild and collect parts until that time.

I have been looking at rollbars for about a good year now, I like the look of the kirk bar but Im afraid to make the purchase without seeing it first person installed on a car because I didn't want to get it in then have a dramatic difference in how far my seat can go back.

as far as the diffuser I think it looks awesome on the vert, I originally saw a pic of yours a while back and thats what made me debate about getting one in the future.

Get some interior pics up when you get a shot

 

awesome vehicle, love the stance as it is.

 

Because i'm not gonna do a turbo swap for at least a couple of years when im done with school. Making myself wait until then gives me initiative to finish this time :P So I wanted to do at least intake/exhaust to tide me over until then.

 

I love BBS/mesh wheels so was looking into those or CCW Classics

 

i think vert meshies only look good on cars that are super low. like yours. very nice man.
