Audi S4s ?

[LS1ow]

anyone on here got one ? ive been debating on picking one of (B5 body, V6 TT) as a daily. i have a 01 a4 and i love it. handles the snow great and is really comfy. i have no problem driving it long distance. but its just not well "exciting" enough. im looking to spend 8-10 on one(also open to other options) but i think i nice TT 6 speed AWD car would be awesome. ive driven a few myself and love them. and there moderalty quick. my friends with a flashed computer and exhaust pulls on my buddys lightning.

so does anyone on these boards have one ?

[LS1ow]

[LS1ow]

Nice ride bro!

keep thread srs so it stays in lounge n more people can see it. please.


id love to get a cummins or a D-max. but they a little out of my range that i can freely spend right now. and i dont wanna finance anything, i wanna buy outright.

[LTb1ow]

Could get a old 12v and slide fuel block for maximal coal rollin and slow ness doe

[sweetbmxrider]

Expensive to fix and maintain....well you don't give many ****s so I'd say go for it!

[Jersey Mike]

If you're serious about buying one, instead of waiting for a CTSV1, then I'll refer you to a local who's had a dozen, runs a euro-based forum, and is constantly buying/selling B5 and B6 S4s.

*Edit*
But seriously, just get a V1. LS6 with T56. Drive jeep those 5 days a year when the snow's too thick/roads aren't plowed yet.

exactly. id get rid of the a4 anyway, so id just replace it with the same expensive hunk

Get a proper beater and put the money into your turbo build.

[coolmanvette75]

I love b5 s4's. I was going to get one before I decided to get a camaro. I've driven my friends 2001 stage 3+ and it was a rocket

[greenformula92]

I'll sell ya the legacy its modded to stage 2.5

[Squirrel]

Like green said, why not a wrx/evo/legacy?... sameish drivetrain, and much cheaper to mod/repair

[LS1ow]

not really a fan of subys, and the people around me that have evos, have made me hate them. great cars and can be fast with a ton of work, but you can tell by my activness on the forum that i like to get into the social part of owning a certain car, and EVERY person i know with is evo thinks there **** is the baddest thing out there.

What type of rear do you have? Good trans? Suspension?

Just kicking it out there.

[BullittSVT]

I've had a few friends that have owned them, the conclusion is they are fun cars but maintenance is a PIA.. they tell me the parts are super expensive and working on them is a b****

I love S4s, but I wouldn't want to own one for a daily.

My buddy picked up a Silver B5 S4 and ended up having issues with the turbos amongst other things, was very costly to him.. and parts aren't easy to come by.

performabuilt with a good converter. suspention is all tubular including K member and a chassis mount TQ arm. and QA1 ajustables.

[MonmouthCtyAntz]

Buddy had one there nice cars

[NjbadSS]

A good friend of mine has one identical to the blue one you posted a photo of, great car. Enough power it is fun to cruise around and very comfortable

[BigAls87Z28]

Will this be your daily or just like a 2nd car to drive when you don't want to take out the jeep or Camaro?

[HeadlessNorseman]

just throwin this out here... why not mod the a4 a little? they are kinda serious with some bolt ons.

[qwikz28]

My good friend's brother has one. I believe it has a stage 3 APR turbo kit as well. Unfortunately, he drives it about once a year so I never got a ride despite my persistent requests, but supposedly the thing is silly fast and handles amazingly. They have a cult-like following on Vortex but are troublesome. His has been a headache.

An issue you wouldn't really expect with that car is theft. Because of the desirability of the drivetrain, they are frequently stolen. His was stolen and recovered once or twice I believe. If you want me to get more info, I can.

the jeep n the s4 would share the daily dutys. i have no problem driving the jeep everyday, its just that its not the best for long rides lol

m3 lacks awd.

[Jersey Mike]

You have Jeep.

[Paul Huryk]

I almost bought one in 2001, instead bought an Acura TL Type S - more practical at the time...

You can think of the S4 as the German GN - can be made super fast with the right parts, but will eat you out of house & home in terms of maintenance and aftermarket prices. I would put the motor right up there with the 3L turbo Supra motor in terms of able to be extremely fast with a smaller size 6 and a turbo.

forever doorless.


M3 was never really even thought about.

i love S4. Now that i work for an audi dealer maintnance and parts will be VERY affordable :)

and as for aftermarket i really dont want to make it that that fast. ill have the turbo car to scratch that itch. i just want something to have fun with. Intake/Exhaust/Tune/DV Valves will make due

"Buying done heads cam ls car n a diesel"


Sounds legit.

[BigAls87Z28]

How do you not think about the M3? The PREMIER SPORTS SEDAN, the father of it all? It is what all cars are measured against!

because im looking for an AWD car. no doubt about it the M3 is sick, but its just not what i want.

[BigAls87Z28]

Get an M3, buy snow tires, and mail all your ****s to someone who needs them.

I don't wan't an M3 nor any car in that class right now. But if and when that time comes, it will be an M3.
