I've just managed to bag this off a mate.....



He was a bit skint so asked me if I wanted it.

It's a '98 S4 and by F**K is it quick!!!!! I reckon it'd give my old Tuscan a fright.

Re-mapped, RS4 turbos, milltek downpipes and exhaust, big intercooler, RS4 clutch etc etc.

I've got bills here for over 15k spent since '03 along with a rolling road readout for 370bhp.

I've had the wheels re-furbed and fitted leather interior since I got it.

Guess how much? Go on, just have a guess?

New MOT and six months tax thrown in.......

Awesome stuff, I'd change the wheels personally, but the spec sounds great.

This one of the stupidly large front brake set up is the only other one I've got so far...



Engine bay looks stock to me but then I'm far from an expert. I knew nothing about Audis before I got it.

I'll do some in the morning.

Very nice. Have been tempted by these on a number of occasions, particularly like the Nogaro blue ones.

Would also be interested to hear how much you got this for?! Does it have many miles?

Sadly no. Keep hoping to come up against something tasty with a willing pilot to get some perspective but haven't managed to yet. My Tuscan was mapped and it shamed a couple of cerbies in it's time but this thing feels more brutal. The power isn't as much and it obviously weighs more than the Tiv but when those turbos spool up my god do you have to hang on!

In a back to back drag though who knows.

Cheers. I wasn't keen on the colour at first but after spending a bit of time cleaning and polishing it, it's really grown on me.

The wheels are B7 RS4 replicas. They were painted chrome but my mate had chewed each and every one of them and being a pet hate of mine, having them sorted was first on the list of to do's. I had them painted anthracite, diamond cut on the faces then lacquered. The Savage had also put re mould tyres on it! It was scary to say the least especially in the wet so I got some Toyo T1rs fitted.
I got the leather interior from the bay for £450 and it's transformed the interior as it was a bit tatty.

There are a couple of other issues that need sorting. The digital screen has gone on the dash and there is a little clunk when you go over rough roads. It's not major but it's annoying. I'll get it up on a friends ramp next week and have a butchers.

Other than that I feel like a dog with two d**ks.

Duke, £2650.50 and I might think about it mate. wink

Have to agree its a corker you are very lucky but also agree with other poster think the wheels look silly/ out of place. Its an old design but those are modern wheels.
