They also don't have a "shop" car that's a B5 S4. The only s4's they have are customer's cars. They do embrace the work because of the reason you listed, but I highly doubt you can argue with the fact that Audi's are a pain in the *** to work on. They don't turn one away because of that fact, they suck it up and get the job done and they do it well.

There's a difference between freedom of speech and being an ***. Nothing I ever said warranted your "flavorful" opinion that entailed personally attacking people that I associate with or a shop that has a damn good reputation in the racing and tuning world.


Yes, they are a PITA to work on, I agree 100%. Wasn't trying to be an @ss Lyssa, even though I am one. I apologize if you feel I was attacking your friends, that was not what I was trying to do. Take what I say with a grain of salt, I don't think before I type 99% of the time. Sorry for coming off as a Phuck face....

As for SCR, I won't go into detail and cross post from other forums about the reputation in the Audi world. I do know they have a good reputation with BMW's...

Andy's car according to Mark @ SCR "Is a sponsored shop car." I asked about it when I went there a few years back.

They also have a shop B5/A4 car; Image

And I quote "This is our 1997 A4 1.8T Quattro"

I took that second picture. And it isn't a B5 S4 :) they sponsor audis but they don't have an S4 as one of their race cars.

So i got my car running on Friday and have put about 300miles on it.
As im coming home today im a block away from my house and the car threw a cel for high imput on the intake air temp and then bam...the motor stops running and i have to roll it into the driveway. I found a blown inj 15amp fuse and replaced it, now i can get the car to crank but the motor wont fire...like ive said with this car, its always something!
Anyone have any thoughts why it wont fire?
