New member intro
 
Long time lurker, infrequent poster.

Just dragged home a '88 S4. Needs a little work.

Doesn't have an automatic transmission, alarm, or rear a/c, and it still has the original radio, so I was able to talk the price down. ;)

018 Sport steering wheel with elevated hub
158 Radio "Reno" - 87

Are there any performance chips or anything cool for 'S4' models?

Maybe I'll just put a Chevy engine in it. :D

hmmm, does it have a manual tranny? Or no transmission at all? Looks nice - post some inside pics.

It does have the rare sunroof, and side rub strips, which is cool.

It does not have Positraction, but I read somewhere that is safer without it. Especially with a 5-speed.

Figure 6 mos to a year to reverse engineer the code for (hopefully cool) new programming... :(

But, I will be making something fairly quickly to be able to put in 24# injectors and maybe some minor ignition tweaks, because I want that ASAP for myself.

Are you new here too? :evilgrin:

I've never wheels made of platinum before. I'm guessing the center caps are made of common silvre.

Beautiful car, just take the engine from that pickup and you're good to go.
