hahaha im not a n00b to the euros

cimg0703vt6.jpg

thats my old ride, always loved the audis! will be happy hopping back in one...

yes the parts are expensive, but the build quality, engines and drive is superior to alot on the road!

Sewid- im mates with a couple of APR dealers, and a full exhaust in stainless turbo back is about 2.5k and to chip the computer will be about 1200 but that gives about 50more kw and 80 or so nm so there isnt much else you need to do! Ill eventually do apr stage 3 which will see almost 300kw at all 4 reliably!

abo- yeah the newer models have the V8s thats what your thinking of maybe? turbo goodness is better IMO.... depends what brakes and where.... the afm is a bit dodgey on the one im buying and shall be replaced for $300 new one... not bad!

WTF - i know ill love the s4, drove it for a while tonight, so refined and effortless i was just crusing through the gears and looked down to be doing 20+ the speed limit! that damn massive torque curve is to blame!!!

insurance is less than half that of the skyline... go figure!

I thought they had 280kw at the fly. Maybe that's slightly newer models.

Parts are the biggest ripoff ever. My boss has an A8 and the fuel pump died. $2k just for the pump.

That's the RS4 model, Adam.

The old RS4 (same model as Haysey's, the B5, but with higher-spec everything on the 2.7TT V6) had 280kW flywheel.

The newer (and still current) B6-series S4 has the new 4.0l V8 and cranks out 253kW at the flywheel, and the RS4 has 309kW. Strange fact about the new Audi V8 motors as used in the S4/RS4: they use a timing chain, but it's at the BACK of the motor to make it shorter so it fits in the engine bay.

you used to be my dori hero Ed. now your just a metro in a euro car..

:thumbsup:

give me your car sammeh and ill happily drift it anyday.... dont worry mate ill get the Haldex Diff upgrade to make the car more RWD biased and come drift it :worship:

Is the S4 a car where you can do DIY mods? (Or even want to try)

It is to a certian extent, its got full audi service history so ill continue that on so i get good resale, not audi servicing but im mates with an audi specialist, im not going to mod the engine much apart from intake, exhaust, chip and later down the track RS4 turbos and intercoolers....

Ill more than likely do suspension/ sound system myself and brakes......

Its more the fact that i dont want to be stuffing around with cars in every spare minute i have, yeah i enjoy it but not if i have to fix a car before i go to work the next day.... im buying one that is quick, complete and i wont want to mod for a while... its just a time constraint mainly and the fact that i want to get in, have fun, take it on long journeys and not worry..

GoldZilla - the best thing is that everything RS4 bolts up to the S4.... so with RS4 goodies on it good for about 450hp :domokun:

I never use to think much of Audi's but I have to say i am a big fan these days..

Especially of the new RS6 Avant wagon..

Claims they have around 600hp

same. but i prefer the sedan..

i wish i could rid myself of my car.

mmm audi S4. the gay mans thinking mobile. or is it the thinking mans gay mobile. I forget which, but the message is clear.

1600kg AWD with 200kw (about 150awkw i'm guessing) it's not my faviourite recipe for excitment. but i can't argue that it will have a far nicer interior than the skyline.

0-100kmh in 5.5sec, full boost by 1800rpm..... thats pretty fun in stock form, chip, exhaust intake will make it a sec or so quicker easy!

Heading down to canberra again tomorrow to drive this blue one

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
