Lovely car that, whats it like to drive?

 

Love them, really really considering one! I just can't find one with the mileage i want! (under 80K)

How much did you pay and whats the mpg like (gay question i know!!)

Rob,

 

Liking that a lot

That's gonna shock a few people.

 

MPG, if you drive it sensibly (yeah right LOL) it will do 25.
To drive, its VERY responsive! Pulling away normally in traffic you have to be careful cause touching the pedal just makes it want to leap forward!

You will really struggle to find one under 80k, however mine has done 76k, I paid Ł8100 for it.
Mileage isnt really an issue unless its over 120k on original turbos

 

Bet it sounds awesome mate, my mate had a s4 with full system and it sounded the tits.

 

Driving sensibly around town mpg?

There is a guy kicking around with a standard bottom end, rs4 heads etc and two gt25's making something rude like 580brake at the wheels!!!!!

Good money for the mileage buddy

Rob,

 

these were a lot more than this a little while back wasnt they.

Looks good and sounds quick!!

 

The lad I got it off has a brother who had a 550bhp S4, on a side by side 3rd gear pull there was nothing in it atall.

Its pretty easy to get 500bhp from an S4, thats on standard internals too.
Mine could easily do it with 3" downpipes and water injection, maybe even without the dp's.
Its also mapped for 1.2bar up top, it could run 1.6 all the way and get more power too

 

My only problem with buying one is that i would have to spend 8K to get the car i wanted, and then i would spend loads of money on go faster cock enlarging parts and by the end of it will have spent 12K on the thing when i could have just gone out and bought a b5 rs4

Rob,

 

8k will get you one already modded!
There is currently a blue Avant and green saloon for sale, both around 8k and both have similar mods to mine apart from the RS4 heads.
Plus, 12k would only get you a rough RS4.

The bloke who put the RS4 bits and K04's on mine has now got a remapped RS4, he said mine would beat it all day long!

 

Nice spec

i notice the rear badge has gone missing needs a TD badge on it

 

these are great cars this is mine had 100'000 on the clock full history paid Ł4200 have spent a few quid to get it as i want it but it is a joy to drive everyday and its reliable!!

 

Its looking a little different now, turned down the coilovers and a few other minor cosmetic bits and bobs.
Had it on the rollers in November.... thats 482bhp in old money!



This is the only pic Ive got of it lowered, will have to sort some new ones

 

This is our audi A4 . its only the 1.8t with 260bhp . Yours is very nice ,got to love audi's we was lucky with this one as it only had 60k on the clock

 

Love my Audi's, the plan is to replace teh 1.8T with an S4 this coming year but I keep flirting with the idea of other things. Considering when I went shopping I was after a Focus.. Ooops

That looks naughty

 

Wow they all look the nuts

 

Nice looking cars.I must admit i love the RS4.s,

 

I took a few new pics of mine yesterday

 

Martyn, how often do these things do their turbos?? Its the ONE thing thats put me off buying one of these cars before... because I get the fear that I'll end up buying one that needs 50% of the purchase price spent on a repair.


Cheers,
Grant

 

bought mine at 97k on original turbos, sold it at 120k ish , still running spot on, had loads of proper history tho, so was well looked after

 

Cool cars, I bet Martyn's caught the odd car out off the lights in its time!

 

Grant turbo's arnt the problem,it's audi gearboxes you need to worry about,lovely cars guy,s ,it's the gear box cost that stops me buying an rs4/6

cheeRS stu

 

very nice.

 

Turbos can go on forever, there are cars with 200k on them on original turbos, but its a general rule that after about 140k they are on borrowed time.
Basically it is boost leaks that kill them as it over works them. People get put off mainly because its an engine out job to replace them (but also the perfect excuse to fit some K04's and get big power LOL)
So, ideally you want to look for one with low miles (anywhere around 80k or so is ideal, obviously the lower the better)

As for gearboxes, I dont think its a common thing for them to go?! Certainly not something talked about on the forums I use!
Mine is running the S4 box with RS4 clutch with no problems atall, as are dozens of others who are running over 400bhp, certainly nothing to be worried about IMO.
If you want to tempt yourself and do some homework, head over to www.audisrs.com

 

awesome looking cars here... really really smart bet they drive spot on!!!

 

Quality cars.

Bro's workmate is on that site, username davey . used to have a nippy Zafira.

 

You didnt buy this from a young lad in bristol by any chance mate?

 

I got one of these, done 148000 miles and its still tight as anything. Although pretty standard its lovely to drive. only paid 3k as well due to mileage!

 

No, not even close

 

Great motor you have there mate, Brilliant fun cars to drive. I had an RS4 up till the start of the summer last year and had to sell it due to divorce was gutted, I am on the look out for a High spec s4 as an RS4 is not in the budget for now. heres a few pics of my old one
For some reason i have added my cortina pics and cannot get rid of them

 

There are some K04 spec/decent S4's for sale at the moment on audisrs.com

 

Fuckin love these. Theres one down the road from where i work, very subtle mods and the presence it has when its at a set of lights or just ticking over is fuckin mad. you just kinda look at it and know it's an animal lol.

Definately a car i plan on owning at some point !

 

ive bought another cosworth now so my S4 is now on ebay. They are absolutely fantastic motors!!

Heres some pics of mine

 

awesome motors,mrc tuning rent my bosses unit and i work next door and those audis sound awesome on the rolling road.

 

Looks identical to mine!





K04's etc, custom remap by me, 480ftlb

 

Very Nice

 

looks like you've opted for the 18 inch rims off the B6 aswel. looks smart mate.
