Introduction

B6/7 S4/RS4
#1

Whats up guys, I’m over on audizine but figured Id post up an intro over here as well for those of you that have left. I have been looking for an S4 for about a year now. Finally found one that was worth picking up last night, couldnt wipe the smile off my face the whole ride home[:D].

A little history of my search, You can skip this paragraph if you just want to know about the car. I was pretty set on Sprint Blue originally, found 2 in January that I was set on. One was an 06 with 35K on it, the other was an 07 with 55K that I found on dealer auctions (have a friend with a license). Eventually came to an agreement with the 06 owner and arranged for someone to go look at it. We were arranging for a date to get it inspected when his deal on a new car fell through in turn putting ours on hold until he found a new one. I was close to a deal on the 07 at this time too but it was halfway across the country and a big commitment. Eventually I found an 25 anniversary locally, I was never interested but thought Id check it out. Fell in love with the body styling and the color but the cars paint was in rough shape for its price. Then found another one in Texas with 35K miles came to an agreement with the dealer and had Zinks garage do an inspection. Car was beat to hell and long story short I did not purchase it. So I went out yesterday to look that this 25 anniversary and it was immaculate.

Cleanest S4 I have seen in my searching. Compression all came back at 140-150. I brought back a truck load of original parts as well. its number 207 of 250. Mods include JHM tune, JHM LW rotors, JHM linkage, JHM Stage 4 Clutch, JHM LW flywheel, KW V3’s, Miltek DP, FI res exhaust, Apikol Diff Mount, Apikol Snub Mount, 034 arms, RS4 Pedals. I think there is some others but I don’t remember. Overall I love the car so car. Very fun sedan and the interior is a step above the b8 a4 imho. Here are the pics.

Two absolutely gorgeous cars. Welcome to AR, you’ll like it here. Killer S4 mod list.

Out of interest was the previous S4 owner on the forums?
Are those summer wheels the BBS RS-GT’s you have for sale?
Ever run the 'vette at the 1/4?

#4

The owner surprisingly was not on the forums at all. Those are the BBS that are for sale, I wanted to see them on the car. Vettes been to the 1/4 once on some shot stock tires and ran a 12.1 spinning through first. Has a full exhaust, intake and tune. Hopefully Both of these will see the track a couple times this summer.

#5

That is surprising, especially considering his mod list would be consistent with most of the gurus on here. Those BBS wheels look great, wish I could afford them lol.

As for the Corvette, 12.1 is awesome what was the trap?
Who did your tune?
Which forums do you frequent for the 'Vette info? I’m just interested in “the competition” as per the thread in General Discussion.

#6

That is such a fantastic mod list.
I know how my car feels and can’t even imagine yours!

well done and welcome to the scene.
nice vette as well - favorite color for them - hands down.
drive safe!

#7

is it bad that I don’t give a crap about the 25quattro?

I fucking love that z

#8

Great looking cars! Both very unique and highly sought after.

Looks like you got a great garage setup too, any nice pics on that, or nothing really special?

haha, never would expect you to say that, but I almost feel the same way lol

#9

Screw the S4 let’s hear more about the vette.

#10

Welcome!! Beautiful cars!! Where are the pics of the 65 Vette? I have been looking for one to pick up, but they are either rediculous money, or require a insane investment to restore.

#11

This is true.

#12

Welcome. Those are 2 awesome cars in your stable. Hmmmmmm which one should I drive today?..lol

#13

I think the trap was like 125? I have a video somewhere, it was tuned by Cartek Performance. They are a pretty popular LSx tuner. Ill clear this up now, the Z06 is my dads, 65 is my moms. This username is from way back when I used to do all the research on the cars for him :smiley: Now I have my own research to do, I should probably change the username but I’m not that clever haha. Besides I have dibs on the car if he ever sells it lol. Corvetteforum.com is where I spend time for the vette. I just take care of the detailing on it. When he picked it up the car had been on the lot for the winter and had some serious clear damage.

The garage is mostly a work shop, 3 bays, one is enclosed with a lift in it for the vettes. Ill try to get some pictures of that next time I’m home. Same with the exhaust clip, Ill try to get some go pro video of that, should be attending some shows in the near future.

The 65 is my moms, unbelievable trying to drive that thing sometimes haha

Although, I’ve been surprised at the acceptance of my Audi by American car guys once they hear the beautiful sound the 4.2 makes

#16
