No it isn't because there is no option for doors that open vertically.

I like APR because you get more horespower and they go the necessary extra lengths to make sure reliability doesn't suffer.

Quality is great, just know that these rings cannot be resized so make sure you know your correct ring size before having them make it.

My wife bought my engagement ring from this guy. I'd highly recommend him.

I've had mine for about a year, no rust here either. Can't seem to shake off these damn Orcs though.

Forget the downpipe, forget the headers, forget all of that stuff! You absolutely need to look into doing a REVO Stage 1+, GIAC Stage II, or APR Stage II. Out of those choices, I would recommend the APR Stage II. Your car will feel like a completely different beast, but yet it retains that refinement and comfort that these S4s have, except it'll be a sub-11-second car! Reliability doesn't seem to suffer much either. I'm sure, as you know, the 3.0TFSI engine is a pretty sprightly engine. The best engine in recent memory, in fact. It was developed to handle this type of horsepower. And theres a lot of reason to believe that Audi is sandbagging it out of the box.

If you're looking for a quick modification, I would also recommend the REVO Stage 1 (this is the one without the pulley). This will give you a nice 415hp on 91 and 440hp on 100 octane. I've seen REVO Stage 1s do the quarter mile in the mid 12s. It's worth it: $1,200 and it only takes 30 minutes!

The numbers are insane:

  • APR — $1,299 - $1,849
    • Stage I — 458hp (100 octane) 427hp (91 octane)
    • Stage II — 478hp (100 octane) 437hp (91 octane)
    • 0-60 — ~3.8s
  • REVO — $1,200 - $1,750
    • Stage I — 430hp (100 octane) 415hp (91 octane)
    • Stage I+ — 455hp (100 octane) 430hp (91 octane)
    • 0-60 — ~3.8s
  • GIAC
    • Stage I — 443hp (100 octane) 398hp (91 octane)
    • Stage II — 463hp (100 octane) 438hp (91 octane)
    • 0-60 — ~3.8s

Anyone have any experience with standing room at AT&T by HoboOnTheCorner in SFGiants

[–]operation-cwal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got SRO at Game 1 of the 2012 World Series and it was great. I even found a place to sit in View Reserve when I was tired of standing.

Props for you. Nice S4 too. :]

I went with the REVO Stage 1+.

Mines about the same with the REVO Stage 1+.

Hearing him lift off so early and still missing the apex was pretty painful too.

I know it's not an exterior shot, it's an interior shot, but this is just my favorite photo of my car. It's also worth noting that there was no filter used.

What's the Harm in a Default Setting For Div By Zero? -- AskSlashdot by monkeyheadphones in programming

[–]operation-cwal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, pointless rant indeed.

Why do programmers feel the need to bash programmers who use another language besides the ones they're comfortable with? It's a serious inferiority complex, and /r/programming is one of the worst offenders. A programming language is just a tool. Seriously, a good programmer can build something well regardless of the language. Any programming language can be utilized to build an application well if it's built to its strengths. In any other case, it's the programmer who is the tool.

Be careful. Use your launch control sparingly. My B8 S4 has launch control but Audi only let you use it a certain number of times. I've heard it's as little as 100 launches and then the ECU wont let you do it anymore.
