Hello to all,
I'm from Romania and recently joined this forum. Couple of months ago i purchased this S4 in a very poor condition but the price and especially this phenomenal engine convinced me to step forward. Few friends more knowledgeable than me owning or have owned this kind of engine in the past played an important role when decided to buy this car. Car was imported from the Netherlands and manufactured back in 1993. At the purchase moment the engine did not start so had to transport with platform.
Pictures right after the car arrived from the Netherlands.
Luckily there was not a big deal with starting. Speed sensor replaced and the car started. The car has been sat for a while looking at the brakes all rusted. Another good thing was the new timing belt replaced recently. I was surprised to see a 22 years old car still serviced at the dealer.

The automatic gearbox was already broken when i bought it and decided to go for a 6 speed manual gearbox swap. I got all the necessary parts from a forum member and hit the mechanical shop. Obviously there was a challenge since i couldn't find a A to Z thread regarding this operation.
The whole swap operation took few weeks but the result was worth the waiting. Right after that, i sent the ECU to Dmitri for Stage 1+ and also to convert it from automatic gearbox to manual. With this occasion would like to thank him for professional work done. I am pretty excited with this project and i am glad i joined this community and share our common passion.
