My B5 S4

[loomx]

Iv been a member for a while, but only recently started going to some of the events.

I went to this Sunday Service just gone, and it was BRILLIANT!

I shall make sure I bring my car along next time.

This is my car,
Its a 2001 B5 S4 with the following mods plus some I have probably forgotten.

K04 Turbos,
RS4 Intake System,
3inch downpipes,
2.5inch dual exhaust,
FMIC,
Uprated injectors and fuel pump,
AP racing 6 362mm 6 pot brakes @ front,
RS4 brakes @ rear,
18" Oz superleggera wheels,
H&R Anti-roll bars,
Eibach coilovers,
and plenty more...

















Ignore the lack of grille on the sides bits of the bumpers, I have some ready to fit.













Finally some interior shots










Taken it on the track a couple times, and love it! I definitely need to do some more days.

150 odd mph on the Bedford straight is a lot of fun! slowing down from it is even more fun though lol.

Looks pretty tasty!

Have you got any powe figures?

[loomx]

I need to get it on the rolling road, but from the MAF reading which is 398grams of air, it works out to 497bhp.

MAF * 0.8 = guesstimate on hp, it seems to be relatively accurate too

I plans for bigger turbos are afoot

Sweeeeeeeeeeeeet, proper moter

lovely car!

haven't seen that steering wheel centre on a b5 before, unusual looking- custom or from another model?

[loomx]

From another model, steering wheel is from an R8 you have to get the alcantara ones special ordered from Quattro GMBH, but I found mine on ebay.de for penuts

Very, very nice!

Here are a few arty photos, these were before I fitted an RS4 front bumper.

i've had thoughts of one of these replacing my current car when i eventually do go for something else and these pics don't help!

one thing though, in the first set of pics it looks like you've got an intercooler maybe a foot tall. in the second set of pics it looks as if there's another intercooler on top. or is it a radiator? sorry, silly question most likely but just curious.

[loomx]

I have the same intercool in both set of pictures, its mahoosiv.

Its just in the second set of pics, I have a standard S4 bumper, which I cut out to get the flow to the intercooler. In the first set (as the car is now) I have cut out the space behind the number plate, so I can remove the plate at track days to get full air flow on the track.

Here are some pics of me fitting the cooler...

Sweet, that intercooler's a monster lol!

[irf]

ahh, now that makes sense, thanks. love the car

[Benten]

Well its back on the road after a bit of fiddling about...

Life is good agian.

[matc]

Thats an awesome projoect....love that front intercooler!

[Silver940]

That rocks, quite fancy an Avant one of them..

[loomx]

I do love it, I always wanted an M3 before I got this.

It was the first S4 I test drove and I put a deposit down the day I saw it! With the suspension sorting they are just a dream. It just seems capable of anything, eats up motorway miles with comfort and speed, not hideous on fuel when cruising for a 500bhp car. It also goes round corners pretty well And isnt understeery at all really, infact it likes to oversteer when pushed, but thats probably more to do with 500bhp than anything lol.
