[s-cars] I'm new to you - Here's your Welcome Kit!

Sam,

I wrote this several years ago for new list members.  Many of the links may
be dead, but a few may still work.  Since you're not a complete novice -
please pardon the references that seem dumb.

Welcome and Congratulations! You are in for a very special ride, I can
assure you that ;-) I agree with what has been said in this thread, having
been influenced by my sweet '94 over the past 6 months (even more than my
previous '95 Avant).  My attraction is the family luxury sedan amenities,
combined with my three kids in the back, turbo performance, Quattro handling
and all of us giggling from the excitement of every spirited drive.  I've
put together something a little different for you and I'm sure others will
find it helpful as they wander into our infectious gang.  It's some of my
collection of links compiled to get you started exploring what is possible
with your new UrS4 (did someone tell you about 400+ HP yet?, if not, I
didn't tell you).

Core Websites: don't miss these -

Master Acronym List: I found it helpful, but remember that 'Happersizing' is
a concept, which eludes direct definition but is *somehow* related to "more
power"

Several positive experiences have been reported through the wise choice of a
warranty - it's more than peace of mind -- saves $$$ --

Some of the *Incredible* Resources made available by some of the more
knowledgeable UrS4/6 enthusiasts; did you bury your wallet yet? good.

Charlie's site is also very deep, and recently has been updated with a
compendium of list wisdom summarizing experiences around suspension
upgrades. Charlie's also the man on 6-speed information!

If you're a shade tree mechanic like myself, try these...

First Modification: (Intermittent wiper relay)

Second Modification: (installation of cabin pollen filter)
http://www.mann-hummel.com/mf_prodkata_all/einbau/HBOSN09yFcw.pdf

The above mods are each under $40, but you haven't increased HP or torque
yet.  Do you know where your wallet is buried?  The links to the tuners
aren't hard to find.

Some good pictures of the main Samco hoses 'strongly suggested' when you
increase boost (no affiliation or reccomendation, yada yada yada)

Some guys do brakes... http://www.movit.de/home.htm or http://bira.org/

Don't forget the toys and magazines... http://www.ewa1.com/mghad.html

And everything else is somewhere in the archives, but ask again cause we're
all quite a helpful bunch (of siccos)

Eventually you'll need a few parts, try this out:

Hi S team
I recently bought myself 10 extra valves in the form of a 94 S4 6 speed
sedan(I really vant an avant) 190 thou km on the dial. I've had a 200TQA for
years and been on the Quattro list for years. I've a few problems/questions
that I will post separately too keep threads intact.
