Interior: platinum heated Recaro seats from a B6 S4 dyed tan to match my interior, Kenwood touchscreen radio, Kenwood 1800 watt amp, 2x 12" Alpine type S subs, B7 center console swap, dash mounted cup holder replaced with euro card tray & custom buttons, oCarbon carbon fiber trim, ECS Tuning vent mounted boost gauge, CJM Industries dual gauge pod, Full-race turbo speed + oil pressure gauge, Prosport EVO fuel pressure gauge, custom billet stainless steel shift knob, hardwired AC/DC inverter, and battery relocated to the trunk in a custom compartment where the stock spare wheel was kept
The short term goal is to get a HP8440 PDM from rywire, and convert the majority of my electronics to run thru the PDM.
The long term goal is to swap the engine to a fully built BCY 4.2T from a C5 RS6, and run that on a different standalone. I already have the 4.2T, and I'm in the process of building that. I have Pauter forged con rods, and cylinder heads from a D2 A8 4.2 40v. These 4.2's use a belt driven timing system & port injection, so they aren't susceptible to the same timing issues that plague the chain driven B6 & B7 S4's, and fueling upgrades are easy & cheap compared to the later direct injected 4.2's.
