First inspect your almost 20 year old car and make sure your car is RELIABLE and capable of staying alive.
Inspect the common problems, IDLE, Fluids, Car parts that tend to wear out on these rotaryz.
Inspect the common problems leave the show stuff for HONDAZ (hahhaahhahahahahhahahhah

What would be the first things to look at as far as the "reliability mods" go? Other than the immediately obvious such as fluids, filters, hoses, brakes and any leaky areas what would/should be at the top of the list to tackle? Would there be anything specific to keep an eye on with an S4 versus an S5? Turbo versus non-turbo?

That's not entirely true. S5 or 89-91 body molding is not molded onto the car. It's just a strip that takes up the same area as the molding on the 86-88, but it is body color. However, it is molded to the front and rear bumpers. A newer model fender is the exact same as the old and is a direct bolt on but you will need to change moldings. Either on your fender to match the car or on the car to match the fender. You decide.
Open up the exhaust on your car. It will help greatly.
