Hello Everyone
names Tom or TK for most.
Previously owned a 2002 Audi S4 which started having alot of issues so i traded it in for a 2004 Mini Cooper S. British Racing Green 40k miles
Just stopping by o introduce myself and i will be lurking quite frequently.
Also located Central MA area.

 

right on! i had an audi 100s and a41.8t welcome ; )

 

All lurkers are welcome on NAM, so lurke (sp?) away. However, we'd much prefer that you jump right in. It makes us less paranoid.

Absolutely love the car, BTW.

 

yea ill be pretty active, as i was on audi forums. i still lurk those cause im still 100% in love with B5 S4's its just not practical for me right now cause it is know to have some rough maintenance issues.
But all in all. love the mini so far
And will deffinatley get some High-Res pics asap and i really wanna find a way to get the
BBS Prima Donna's that i posted in another thread.
They are soo sweet.
(recent- pulley/exhaust/intake)
(long term (next spring) Alta Twurbo, build cylinder heads.)

Question in my S4 it wasnt worht it to buy $250 intake and just as effective to swiss cheese the air box.
Is that the popular consensus over here?
Cause i would love to save some dinero. BTW i love having slightly cheaper prices for parts! WOOOT! haha

 

hey! i still lurk audizine and mnaudi all the time, i had 2 audis before. ; )
i want to get the ALTA intake one day just because it looks so fn nice.
BUT i actually just swisscheesed my intake yesterday! hah
check it out, it sounds niiice.

GREAT CHOICE! ... and of course I love the colour!

 

There is some homemade, back yard stuff but not much. For the most part, the same things in a given catagory (intakes, exhaust, what have you) all run about the same. It comes down to small things like color, maybe sound level, and other's reccomendations. Oh, and BRG FTW!

 

Hey TK, nice ride,
I'm also in central Mass.
I'll keep an eye out for you...

hey joenzy im looking at your picture in your sig and it looks like Bertera Chevy in Palmer MA..... THat where you got it correct?
I just also got mine from there.

 

Yeah, that's where I got it. If fact we took your ride for a test drive,
The sunroof was murder (very warm day). We decided to pass.
That was before I found aftermarket sunshades.

Now that we've had it for a while, the wife lives the Coop, so we may be in the market for a new one...

Welcome! I also have a 2004 BRG MCS, and I had a 2002 S4 as well! The S4 was sweet but I also had some reliability issues with mine. The MCS is going strong at 65K miles
