This is my avant that I picked up last week. Got to do somethings to it but that will come in due time.

What suspension is that?! Non-Sport?

Yes it is the non sport suspension, but that will change when I can afford to change it.

Hey AvantYeti noticed your bike rack, do you ride a Yeti cycles bike?

^^^ Hi Scott

[Jay-Bee]

Dirty road trip through the Canadian Rockies over the holidays.

Nokian Hakkapellita R tires kept me between the yellow and white and shiny side up! roads were clear and +5* till Banff, then all hell broke loose haha.

[Gumby]

mine is actually grey... but most people call it flat black

[tankdeer]

Wow, awesome pic. Jealous of how much more snow you guys are getting than us.

[rjpeaks]

they are about the only ones gettin snow...

i like the pic..

[SoCalS4Avant]

SNOW!

Love the pic, Matt!

i like the pic..

It's actually snowing at our house right now, but the difference between here and just a little more north is crazy. Seattle is getting way more than we are. Even just 50 miles north is getting quite a bit more. We're just on the edge of the storm

[Gumby]

Wow, awesome pic. Jealous of how much more snow you guys are getting than us.

i'm not... it took me an hour to get up my driveway this morning. just what i want to do after a twelve hour night shift

SNOW!

Love the pic, Matt!

thanks Dan! but i'd rather be in cali right about now

[tankdeer]

Enjoy it while you can. Those don't look like snow tires though, are they? That would solve your hour long driveway issue.

[Gumby]

No, they're still my summers. 245/40 falken FK-452's to be exact.

I converted my car to coilovers their summer, and my winters are too tall now. I've been putting off raising my car up because it's been staying in the low to mid 40's here. Guess I'll be doing that today!

[tankdeer]

Ha ha. I left my summer tires on a little too long last season and took a drive up to Mt St Helens to explore the Ape Caves. Didn't expect there to be much snow at the time, but I was sliding all over the place. Quattro means jack shit when your tires are hard as a rock. Well, it means all 4 are spinning at the drop of a hat.

Why don't you sell your winter tires and get ones that fit? Beats raising the coilovers.

[AvantQuattro]

Wow, the B8 looks massive compared to the B6. Almost looks like a C6

My B5 looks like a toy next to a B8 (at my old apt in Philly)

And....it just got delivered tonight in PDX after the trek from PA. We've been apart since Sept, I have missed it so!!



I need to dig up older photos of it...esp. from right after I bought it in 2003 when it was bone stock. On one of these pages someone else posted another Volcano Avant also stock and it reminded me of the days when I could stick my head in my wheel well...lol.

Heres some pics of my A4 B7 :)

Breathtaking. Very nice job. More about your car? Ti package I presume? How did you black out the rings? What suspension do you have? The height is perfect and still has very good clearance. What % tint are on your rear lights?

[zatch_303]

On 18s

Wow sexy! I just purchased a b5 Volcano Avant TQM! What wheels are those I would like to go with a similar look with 18's.

[AvantQuattro]

Thanks! Those are 18" Kahn RSS. Unf they are discontinued. Actually BOTH sets of my wheels are discontinued.

Congrats on getting the best B5 A4 color.....at least IMO!

Thanks :)

Its a 2005 S-line. We dont have the titanium packages here. I got my mouldings around the windows and roofrails wrapped.
Bought a set of black rings from ebay both front and rear for $35.
The rear lights is 17% lamin-x "smoke"
The suspension is H&R Monotube coilovers. :) Very happy with it.
And its a 2,0 TFSI with manual and it is at Stage 2+ from Revo ATM.

Here are some wintersetup dirty pics ;)

Lookin' real good.

Looks good! Rear end appears to be sagging. Reverse rake?

Looks like your standard B7 "optical illusion" reverse rake. The rear fenders on the B7 are lower in the rear, giving the appearance of reverse rake even when the car is level.

Driveway actually slopes down quite a bit, so it looks like reverse rake haha

[BenjaminR]

[rjpeaks]

nice

[dropshadow]

I've never seen an allroad with the grill blacked out, but I really like it, especially on a black car.

[BenjaminR]

Thanks, there was simply way to much bling on the front end for me. The whole car really does. There will be more plasti dip to come.

Gross


Ta da

[rjpeaks]

any more snow shots before we go into summer?

[SoCalS4Avant]

Oh...wait...you meant Avants?

[tankdeer]

Dan I think you need to paint your E30 black - it doesn't match the rest of the stable.

[SoCalS4Avant]

LMAO. I know. I go through phases. Had a red phase, a silver phase, and now a black phase. I've had green mixed in a couple times.

[tankdeer]

Also, when you going to lower that B8? It looks like it's the same height as the Touareg. [:P]
