Traded in my S4..

B8 S4
#1

I traded in my 2010 S4 and got a…

2013 S4 6MT in Estoril Blue :smiley:

Got a nice deal on a 2013 and couldn’t pass it up, it had all the stuff I wanted originally and I love the car so much I couldn’t resist.

I should be picking it up tomorrow or Monday.

Mod list already ready to go:
GIAC Stage 2
Roc-Euro Intake
AWE Non-Resonated Exhaust
AWE Cold-Front
H&R Sport Springs
Eurocode Shifter
Eurocode Alu-Kruez
35% Tinted Windows
19x8.5 ET35 Avant Garde M510 in Silver

I’ll be doing some baseline 60-130 runs and do each mod one at a time to see the difference every modification makes on GIAC Stage 2.

PS: My APR CPS is now on my dads car and I’ll be hitting the strip next week with that on MS109

Congrats Pete! Looking forward to your progress… Also, curious to see how your dads car does, hopefully you can get some good DA’s when you go…

#3

Thanks Ron! I’m curious to see if the Testpipes actually did anything on my car and we’ll see really soon… DA has been around +1000 which is far from ideal but I’m hoping to break an 11.6-11.7 with the CPS and LC. Only time will tell, last time was a disappointment but now the car is moving for sure.

#4

Weird one. I was sure it was going to say Estoril blue rs5. Damn lol.

#5

ive been considering doing this too but i just cant bring myself to do it. im torn between buying out my lease or getting a facelift

#6

what’s the point of a facelift? I personally think the earlier one looks better

the S5 facelift looks good though. I like it better than the original S5 (both look great though)

RS5 facelift face though…god damn that’s just about perfect. Why don’t one of you guys just step the fuck up and charge an RS5. I need some entertainment!

#7

Nice upgrade! Can’t wait to see the numbers she puts down…

I’m with saki on this one, if you don’ need the extra doors i’d def. do S5.
But for the cost of the RS5, I’d rather get an S6. Hard to say no to a 4.0TT…

You have all those mods on a lease!?? lol…

RS5 > S6 all day long

The Audi dealer lots are filling up with traded in S6. The car is big, boring and sloppy. The RS5 is so much more fun and suitably sized. Add the fact that for around $10-15,000 on a supercharger kit, you can rape a tune/exhaust S6 it makes so much more sense to go RS5. Actually a JHM supercharged B7 RS4 seems a better bet than any of the Audis offered in the last 5-6 years to be honest. For $13,000 in mods you’re trapping 125+ on 91. That’s unmatched in the Audi world for the past 20 years, nevermind the lsat 5.

Stock for stock, the RS5 and S6 are actually pretty close, believe it or not.

;D

#10

cus i would do the first rs4 sedan wide body conversion duuuuh haha

#11

Interested to see what your Dad’s car will lay down with S2, TCU, and race gas.

I am going stage 2 here shortly. Driving down to San Diego (Whale’s Vagina) July 5th, so I’ll swing by GIAC and get a tune on my way there.

I am trying to talk Austin into a TCU tune, but I am not in a hurry to get that done…as my local dealer can port flash that in Seattle when its officially released.

Can’t wait to try for 11’s on pump gas!

#12

Are you going to put in the GIAC CPS to match your stage II?

Enjoy your new car and being a terrible influence on me. :slight_smile:

-Skid

#13

Haha that would be nuts

However 4.2 + 1650 > 3.0 + 1320…so just go factory wide body rs5. It has the nice radio you’re always on about lol

#14

Congrats on the pickup Pete!

I’m beginning to agonize over the decisions ahead of me… really not many options under 90k.

#15

if it wasnt missing the right gear box id consider it… however superior the S-tronic may be, i need the third pedal

#16

oh and i already have that radio installed ;D

#17

This post is useless without pictures…I would be interested in seeing the differences and the color changes. I think I remember the early 10 s4s had some issues… are those still there on the newer cars

#18

Auditude3.0T, wanna give our tune a try this time around? I’m working on a few more things to get every last 1/10th out of during manual shifts. It’s an OBD-II flash too.

#19

Congrats dude! Can’t wait to see the results!

#20

what’s the difference between EBC and Sepang? What older Audi colours are they closest to?

I really wanted a Mugello Blue Ti RS4 however I was too scared that I might end up with Richi’s old one!

I’m going to turn my non-Ti Avus RS4 into a ghetto Ti Avus

I already have the OEM Ti wheels (I run them for summer)
I’m going to have the window trim wrapped once the VAGKRAFT guys arrange a group buy
I’m going to plastidip the trim around my front grille

Shooting for this
