I still have to put some more coats on, just some 5 dollar rattle can w/ ceramic so it may not hold heat out super well but worst case scenario it looks nice lol.

Be careful with that paint. I used the duplicolor hi-heat ceramic stuff, I don't know if it has to cure, didn't say anything on the can, but I was able to take it off with a passing brush of a choke-clean soaked rag. Needless to say I was dissapointed.

Looking forward to the pics...

Only flat black though. If you're doing a full paint job, black tends to show all your sins

but this is where the engine is now mostly all assembled....

MY CLOSET!

now I just needs motor/trans mounts, fluids, misc hose or two and my roommate to make me an RPM switch.

If you need some S4 parts, lemme know. I've got TONS and will let most of them go for shipping plus a few $.
