The RS5 is not as fast, for sure!. However it has one thing the S4 will never have, a V8, nor will future S5s. They’ll be running a twin turbo 475 HP v6. Rs5’s will never be made again, that fact spurred me to get one before they were all gone. The only way we ever could have seen a legitimate race would have been side by side, on the same strip. I started a new thread on the A5/S5 thread titled Road Trip in a new RS5 if you are inclined to read it. Why my S4 was so difficult to squeeze in under 12 seconds I will never know. Thanks.
Yes, but did take the Aquamist water/meth system off, it’s for sale. Took a beating but that was to be expected, no warranty. Nothing else was easily removable, headers, brakes,etc.
Thinking about it… I probably would have found a way to get the brakes and wheels off. I’d imagine getting the brakes back to stock wouldn’t have been too crazy even with the rear brake mods you did (it seems like un-doing those would be pretty simple?). I can understand the headers… The brakes and wheels probably could fetch $5000?
yeah totally. Get everything off but the headers. Sell it online. Put stock parts back for the most part. Find a junkyard A4 hood. Flash the REVO off.
Good to go.
Brakes will fetch $2000 if they’re mint. Otherwise, not likely.
Wheels are tough…it’s not like they’re a known commodity like a BBS CH-R that you can sell 10 sets of in a week at a fair price. These are pretty much one-offs and fitment is odd for an Audi, so it’s less likely to be succesful.
I think you could get more for the front and rear Brembo kit; especially if you sell it with whatever he rigged up for the rear brakes. That’s probably $8000 in brakes new. I think $2500-3000 would be reasonable (the fronts should go for $2000 minimum). The wheels are still a known higher-end custom forged wheel. Admittedly, not a normal size, but I think someone would bite at $2000-2500 or so (my guess is the wheels are over $5000 new?).
We discussed this in skywagon’s for sale thread…he essentially can’t be bothered with the hassle, so I think he’s got an audi tech removing/selling the parts on ebay, and they split the cost. Something like that…
Gents, if anyone needs some stock parts, brakes, rotors, springs, sway bars, exhaust manifolds, complete exhaust system (still in one piece) please advise. When I get the Ebay link I’ll post it. Been on the road all week. Thanks.
