As B5 S4s go, their reputation serves as anything but reliable and it's certainly a car you buy with your heart and not your wallet. I've wanted one for as long as I can remember and this one was too clean to pass up. As of right now, I don't have big plans with it as of yet other than upkeep, but when those snails go out I'll be doing at least a Stage II build on it.

I test drove it for 45 minutes and it ran great with no codes, boosted to 17psi, no abnormal sounds coming from the turbos and the clutch didn't slip. I put a deposit down on it and should pick it up this week.

More pictures to come! It needs a good interior detail but the paint is pretty much mint with the exception of a few clear coat spots on the roof.

6 speed FTW


Well done

:cheers:

Time to sell the S :precious:

Well played. Good idea to find one on which required (expensive) maintenance was already done.

NVM not a 2.0T FSI lol just looked into the S4

good pickup.

they are getting pretty rare nowadays.

:rofl:

Hell no, I need some form of reliable transportation!

does the owner have the original wheels? i have thought those look very good. look bigger than they actually are.

:cheers:

:spit:


:goldcup:

#garagequeen

:rofl: This is the only car in the world where that's actually impressive.

Congrats man, enjoy it for as long as it'll run without throwing a code. And remember, step one of any procedure on this car is remove the front end. :tomato:

BTW, I'm back in SD next week. I kinda want a ride. nomsayin?

He did, but they had full blown snow tires mounted.

I am in the hunt for them though, always been a fan of 17s but these wheels would look amazing with a drop (not like that'd ever happen anyways)

:nod:

So true.

And yes, I'm in Wisconsin the whole weekend but will be back in SD next week. Totally down to give you a ride!

where did you buy the car? :what:

Curious what you like in the b5 over the b6. I have a sweet spot for the b6 v8. The blue is :pimp:

I should have clarified, I'm picking up the car in LA this weekend (it was originally from Ohio).

I'm heading to Wisconsin for a wedding this weekend :thumbsup:

Having personally never driven the B6, I couldn't give you a direct comparison but I will tell you the torque of the B5 is pretty astounding (Builds peak torque @ 2500rpm).

APR's Stage I tune claims 307hp & 366 ft/lbs to the crank on 91.

I think the B5 chassis is the perfect size sedan and sits just under 3400 pounds; B6 sits at about 3600ish.

To each his own, but I think both cars are great.

B6 is nose-heavy, hard to make big power with, has timing chains of death (although the B5 isn't exactly a walk in the park)

LA you say.......

Will this one make it in the driveway?

:precious:

Looks good Tyler!!! Can't wait to see what you're going to do with it.

:nod:

:nod:

You'll definitely have to check it out one of these days, this week is pretty packed though.

:sorry:

Quattro bruh :teef:

On a serious note, this thing has pretty impressive ground clearance so I don't think it'll be a problem.

You guessed it, lowering it is out of the question :sad:

Oooooooooooo I LOVE the color.

:rip:


But really, that thing looks gangster. I love older Audis... just too scared to ever own one :rofl:

Same :rofl:

I'd say this is more of a project car than daily, but I have my trusty S to fall on so no harm no foul :thumbsup:

On a separate note, the car currently has Ohio plates ... and since I have to get new plates I might as well get custom ones no?

Any suggestions AZ?

Nice pickup man! That blue is awesome...

"ETH FO" :nod:

Congrats dude! :cheers: I've always loved that color and the timeless styling of the S4. :thumbsup:

:rockon:

Ohhhh, Audizine making a comeback?

Yea man screw these Honda jokers let's go pickup some bishes.

The only bishes that get into Audis sit behind the wheel :snicker:

Congratulations Tyler! That's a gorgeous color. I've always loved that body style :thumbsup:

:frown:

First things first...get a VAG-com reader.

It makes owning an Audi MUCH easier.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VAG-COM

Do they make anything that works with iPhones/pads/etc?

ya I read about the chains and repair bills :what:. I guess I just love the exhaust note on them.

i know right? :whyme:

I am sure they may...but If you want all the info and not just a code reader VAG COM is the way to go.

;)

One of the best blue colors ever on a production car in my opinion. Great find especially with all that work already done.

Love the color, needs some airbags, those cars look so good slammed.

Also needs an engine/transmission swap from an s2000. You know, for reliability purposes.

or just sell it to a local for the "audi maintenance fund" :ninja:
