Haven't been around much recently but had a lot of other commitments but hopefully will be sticking around
This is the girlfriends daily drive, she traded her A1 S-line in for something that would be more practical for the future and something to fit Troy our 7 stone german shepherd in,
We initially looked at a whole range of quick estate cars and 4x4's looked at a few Q7's (couldn't justify the running cost again the performance, tyre wear, road tax ect), 335d's, even E63 estates, but in the end all the signs pointed towards the S4, for potential, out of the box performance and looks and quality
So after a lot of looking around and research we found a stunner at Doncaster Audi, It was up for a price that undercut older cars and had a great spec, so we put our name down for it,
The Spec: (some of these might be standard, I've looked at that many different cars can remember what come standard and what doesn't)
Audi S4 B8.5 Avant 7 Speed S-Tronic
Audi Sport Differential
Super Sports Seats in Fine Nappa - All Black
B&O Sound System
Audi MMI3 - Sat Nav - Bluetooth - CD Changer
Carbon Atals
Rear Window Blinds
Flat Bottom Wheel
Auto Highbeam
Auto Wipers
ADS
Audi Park Plus
Load Area Fixing Kit
Storage Package
5 Segment Alloys
Its had a few modifications done to it from the previous owner
EBC Red Stuff Pads
Tarox Drilled And Grooved Rotors
Eibach ARB's
Koni Dampers
So here it is on the day
Also had one of these sat there, Maybe next time
When we finally got it home i could see the paint work needed some attention (as expected with a 3 year old black car) so we give it a good was and a going over with poorboys black hole to hide the swirling until i get the weather to correct it properly
here it is with My RS Clio and Troy
Something didn't quite feel quite normal with the car, in the sense it did not stop pulling when it passed 155mph and also it has embarrassed a couple of V8 R8's which i was very surprised about, so i thought it would be good to take it for a go on a rolling road, as thought that car had been played with a little must have a small map on i am assuming a bluefin or something quite generic resulting in the low gains over standard
Also Fitted the obligatory RS4 Grill, i really liked that standard grill but i think the theme of the car is heading in a very stealthy direction with a few subtle highlights, its always a look I've like mainly one of the reasons i went for the matt clio, always believed less is more
Managed to get a pulley removal tool at a good price, now just need to order the pulley I'm pushed towards the revo one, i can see there is very little difference in terms of gains between them, so i will see what comes up
Sophie thought the reg looked abit **** so I got her one that took the age of the car and it was a great price, so really happy with it, also have to say the company whom I bought the reg from where awesome (newreg) did all the paper work for me, made the new plates up for me and had them at the door step within 4 days, all at a price less than dvla would of just sold me the reg for
took it on a B-road blast today, we have some unbelievably good roads over the North Yorkshire Moors, perfect proving ground for any car, seriously impressed with the way the car performed, pulled hard, handled well but it could really do with coilovers, i am thinking KW,
but was not overly impressed with the brakes, so the RS5 callipers and discs will be on the cards with DS2500 pads, which i use in my Brembos on my clio and they will lock the front wheels if pushed hard enough and hardly suffer from any fade
then it was time for a little TLC this evening, and it has come up brilliantly
i will be going down this route in the near future
and a slammed on just for fun
