So I upgraded from a 97 2.8 12v to a 00 s4 in December. I haven't really been posting too much on here so I thought I'd make a little progress chart of what I've done to the S4 since I bought it.

Old A4:



New S4 sitting on 18" OZ Superleggeras
(Day I picked it up):


Sold the OZ's along with the 17" Avus wheels and rocked my friend's Tenzos for a bit:


After renting those wheels from my buddy for a month or so I got OEM C5 A6 17" Pie Plates. I was sitting on Stasis Tracksport coilovers at that point but I literally had 4 inches of wheel gap with them maxxed out. So I traded those for a set of VW K1 Coilovers and got real low with the 17s:


The A6 Pie Plates had some decent stretch on the tires and I was just sitting WAY too low on them (couldn't even have 1 person in my car without scraping on potholes lol). After cracking my oil pan on a not so bad sized dip I decided I had to get different wheels as opposed to raising the car and not looking SLAMMMED! So I bought some Raderwerks off my buddy w a B6 after he picked up a pretty dope set of Work Rezak's. Sold the 17's to Randy this past weekend. Specs: 18x8f et35 Yokahama S-Drive 205/40, 18x9r et35 Yokahama S-Drive 215/40:


Currently have 8/15mm spacers I am going to put on (waiting on extended lugs).

Current Mods:
Stage 2+
GIAC
Piggie Pipes
Toygun Short Shifter
Boost Controller
Neuspeed G2 Exhaust (sounds amazing)
RS4 Clutch
710N
can't think of anything else at the moment

I should probably change my sig soon. Pretty big jump from a 12v 2.8 to the twin turbo S4 but I'm loving it and the ridiculous price that comes with owning one!

 

pix no worky..... but if you got wheels just sitting around throw some this way

yeah big jump.... nice pick up

 

how about now?

 

dam car looks really good. this car definantly jumps up my list of fav b5s. you got good taste with modding your car

wow. looked sexy when you picked it up... but looks great as it sits now too! good choices in rims!

what problems have you had?

 

thanks

nothing too crazy yet. cracked my oil pan, secondary water pump, starter relay, 2 tie rods, need to get ABS unit rebuilt, cv joint popped off and broke a heat shield so both needed replacement. thats what i can think of off the top of my head

 

clear cornered

 

I just posted in another thread saying how much I like your new car! I really really like those wheels!

 

idk why but i think the amber looks better then clear corner although car still looks awesome no matter what
