Stage 1 Audi S5
Thread Starter
Joined the ‘Other’ AZ
Picked up a 2018 S5 ‘Premium Plus’ with 17k. Blue wasn’t my first choice but there were very few available over the last couple months and the color has really grown on me, especially with the red.
Car is quick but it’s begging for a tune. Really wanted another manual car but as you know, they are getting harder and harder to find.
Painted look rough, despite the Audi dealer telling me it was in great shape 😂
Audi paint is hard. It took me numerous passes with a microfiber before starting to make a dent but looks much better. Not perfect but good enough that I coated with a ceramic.
thanks to Jeremy aka @rockstar143 , she now has a mild drop. I was being a pussy about the install but he helped ie did it, can’t thank him enough.
Wife also ended up in an XC90 last year

That blue/red makes a sweet combo.
I'm assuming black top? Not sure if Audi has color options there.

Oh please, you did that install yourself you just channeled yourself through me.
1. Badass vehicle.
Made me want the turbah...
2. Your tune will unlock a LOT of power.
3. Don't be in a rush...or do be in a rush for a tune. Good reasons for both.
4. Leave the exhaust alone...maybe look into an ECS xpipe or whatever the equivalent is to the downpipe for that.
See how it sounds then. The valved oem exhaust is sick and best of both worlds.

Love the blue red combo. So when do the wheels and exhaust arrive. That will make it the complete Jeremy special.

Dat interior! 
And of course I'm partial to blue. Such a nice contrast. All the best luck with it!
