When I convinced JHM to take on the 4.2 S4 so many years ago it has changed the landscape for so much better and every part and every dime that goes into 4.2 parts bought from JHM goes directly back into that platform.
There was and might always be other people and companies tried to create fake excitement over failed products or some new scam but the 4.2 S4 is much like the 3.0T S4 in the fact it’s filled with excited but sceptical members not willing to throw their money at just faux excitement.
Back in 2007 when this movement first started the thoughts were tunes don’t work and exhaust systems were for nothing more than sound. Now JHM has turned this platform into a viable hotrod with 1/4 mile times that rival every other platform with 130mph trap speeds and 11.1 or better track times. Everything from nitrous and supercharger kits to headers to the smallest of timing parts for the motor. JHM has taken the maintenance of the timing kits cost and brought it down to 1/2 that of what the dealer used to charge. JHM has a replacement part for just about every nut and bolt on the car.
The exciting thing for the 4.2 S4 is that JHM isn’t done yet with the platform. There is still more to come and each time you see a fellow forum member get spark plugs, oil change kits or a tune from JHM for their car they are also helping invest in your car as that money goes right back into the 4.2 programme. For me with the S4 up and running I felt like I had completed the journey to help show what so many new or older owners of the car would run into and the support JHM has and is giving to the platform.
My goal is to always be part of the environment that wants and needs real support and honesty, with real power solutions and real interest not just a financial gain type of interest. Performance over profit and horsepower over hype type of interest. With JHM still growing the B6/7 S4 market and the platform well taken care of, I started thinking what would be a good next car with lots of potential like the B6/7 S4, but a platform that has been neglected and forgotten due to how complicated it is to make power and understand the car.
It turns out it was a car I’ve wanted from the day it came out. My wife just helped speed the process along by getting me this for my birthday.

Awesome, times two on build thread does that mean the s4 is gone now, or is this in addition to?
