Rofl! You won't get $h1t on a trade in, your way better off selling it out right. You have WAY to much after market into it to trade it in. You'll get considerably less then you would if the car was stock.

Lol if you wanna sell the cams let me know :-)

Audi's, nice cars but expensive up keep. Just a warning.

2.4l tb
2.4l intake mani
lsj injectors
78lb valve springs (may or may not remove...may not be worth the trouble lol)
stage 2 comp cams
OTTP 4-1 longtube header w/ catless dp
Clear image 3" exhaust w/ superturbo muffler

and if I get rid of the car I will also have the GM valve spring compressor and GM cam sprocket holding tool for sale.

shoot me a price and its yours. I have it off the car. There is a spot where paint has started to rub off as it is a TIGHT fit to get it in the car...

no, sorry

car im looking at is an 04 audi S4. Grey metalic with gunmetal aftermarket rims and its been lowered a bit. has the 4.2l v8 and the AWD quattro system (puts out 340hp and 310tq...does 0-60mph in 5s flat). Its an auto with the triptronic tranny in it (looking for auto lol). Does have paddle shifters though :P. FUN car to drive, amazing in side (full recaro leather front and back, heated power seats up front, dual climate control, bose stereo system w/ sat, sunroof, and a HUGE trunk lol)

Hoping to hear back tomorrow. Took some stuff off the car that wouldnt matter for trade:
subs (2x12" in sealed box with amp)
TTR rear sway bar (still straight lol)
2x HID kits (one with 6k 9007 bulbs; one with 8k fogs (not sure of nmber))
center arm rest (with smaller cup holder piece and block to mount it)
front strut bar
oil catch can (with mount and hoses)
trunk net
under trunk lid carpet piece and light covers


I think thats all I took out, but I also have lots of parts extra that I will give UBER deals on (most of all of an engine, suspension, shop repair manuals, etc).

If the deal doesnt go through then Im going to work on putting the car back to stock...so stay tuned haha.
