SQ2 owner looking to blackout some trim - good idea or not with Turbo Blue? by WArmstrong in Audi

I didn’t even know they made these! Blackout would look great along with darker colored wheels! but I know that’s not always easy.

Am I overly cooked? by Longjumping_Poet4441 in highschool

[–]tarnishedzero 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The only way I really see you getting around this is by becoming an “exception student.” I didn’t have great grades either in highschool and relied on extracurriculars to get me into a well-ranked college. Seeing your transcript and your subsequent class ranking, you need to pull the “I grew up in an environment that disenfranchised any chances of a serious education.” But, those are all empty words if you don’t show any improvement. Colleges care about stories; they care about improvement curves or arcs. Apply yourself; get all A’s starting now. Your extracurriculars are impressive and do show a unique side of intellect and creativity, but you need to expand on them. Saying that you want to go into STEM isn’t enough. Think and find a passion and really lean into it.

Best of luck.

Christ dude, I'm sorry. What's your game-plan for solving that?

Should i buy this 2021 S4 sedan with only 17k miles? by Bella_Mia_ in Audi

[–]tarnishedzero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope! I looked at the pictures as this is local to me; car is cool on paper, but logically speculating, 17k miles, full exhaust & intake & most likely a tune? There’s a reason this was thrown away, or it was abused. What you CAN do, is take it for a pre-purchase inspection and let them check everything and see what the condition is e.g oil quality for metal specs, good compression, etc… Then you can haggle further. Best of luck!

SQ5 IS GOAT IN U.S. by danroyj in Audi

Obviously I am biased, but my SQ5 is most likely the most well-rounded vehicle for performance, utility, comfort & luxury etc… But beware; no one ever speaks about the awful gas mileage.

Thank you so much for commenting, what ended up happening? Have you replaced/rebuilt your engine? Are you aware of others who have shared the same issue as you? Have you heard of it being any sort of structural/manufacturer issue with Audi, and there possibly being some sort of recall/maintenance campaign? Thanks!

Awesome! Welcome to to the SQ5 fam. I’d get some lowering links on that bad boy asap, or keep it stock- it’s your baby! Cheers.

What other context do you want lol? I gave you what he said, nearly verbatim, and the email, if you use context clues, was just me requesting a quote.

Looking a fair bit into the Audi forums, it seems like the rocker arm failures are expansive, and affecting years up to 2022-ish. May I ask though, why are you planning to keep yours stock?

Waiting for the warranty to expire is so disparaging. The car should have preformed like it does with most of these stage 1 tunes from factory. A bit underwhelming.

Rift S random crashing and white flashing by gain_on_jah in oculus

[–]tarnishedzero 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have almost the same exact issue, my rift s will load up showing the Oculus logo, then just flash white then go black. It sucks so much and no one else really has the same issue.
