So you cant moddify the S5 engine? The computer is not very responsive? whats the low down on this car besides more weight and higher compression? if I wanted to say turn this car into a drift machine, or just say get a little more HP, am i gonna have problems? Thanks a bunch.

I love my S5. The seatbelts do suck though. I think it looks better and was easier to mod then my friend's 87 TII. Also my 90 TII has more power then his. I almost beat my friend's 87TII when he had a new engine, turbo, 550 primaries, 720 secondaries, SAFC, manual boost controller(set for 10 psi), air intake, full exhaust, tires, suspension, bov, fuel pump, and all I had was a crappy cone filter on my car. My computer responded very well to all of my mods until I decided to replace it with an E6K because my AFM was going bad. Now I have a ported motor, hybrid turbo( stock turbine side, ported wastegate, T60-1 compressor side), MSD 6A ignition box( leading only), stainless steel braided oil cooler lines, mazdacomp motor mounts, and everything else listed in my sig. I'm still braking in my motor and have yet to see it's full potential, but from what I can tell from just driving around with the ported motor it will be kick-***.
Now what's up with the **** carpet in the S4 cars? The brick for an AFM? All the problems from old age and bad care? The ugly looking stock guages? The heavier and uglier rims? That's all I can think of for now. I'll get back with more questions that I think makes the S4 an uglier and poorer performing car when I can remember more about them.

BTW don't get me wrong I love all the 7's. I also believe that a 2nd gen is a 2nd gen and A TII is a TII. I like both cars but I perfer my s5 TII because of the power and styling over the s4 TII. I also like it because it just happens to be my first 7.

my s5 rawks.
i have an s4 vert e-brake handle though...it had a pretty chrome colored plastic trim ring, i had to get it, so purty
the looks of the s5 are what do it for me, sure i could waste time effort and money by converting an s4 to s5, but im one lazy ****.
