[s-cars] Quattro Qwisis Line

[Taka Mizutani]

Bill-
With the STi, I get power and handling on par with the E46 M3, just
need some extra sound insulation to get some refinement into the
machine. I actually ran a E46 M3 and a hopped-up (to what degree, I
don't know) SRT-4 last night, acquitted myself nicely.

The nicest thing is the fact that it is stock. Right now, I'll
probably only add a set of Defi Link BF Amber gauges, sound insulation
in the floorpan and doors, wheels (I'm not dinging the BBS on my
commute, not at $700+ a pop), snow tires and better lower dust brake
pads.

Once I get done with that, I can consider two-piece rotors (I wonder
if I can use the 993tt rotor ring on a custom hat?), SS brake lines,
Samco boost, coolant and pretty much everything else hoses,
Greddy/Cusco catch can, then start thinking about serious mods. I do
want to uncork the exhaust- the 2.5" piping is a bit too tame and you
can't hear the music of the boxer 4 with the stock STi exhaust. I
might see if I can get a Stromung turbo-back.

No regrets, other than that I really, really would have loved to get a
C5 Vette and keep the Audi- found the perfect one literally a few days
after I took delivery of the STi.
