new to the audi avant world

[alpine45]

well ive been lurking for a bit since I bought my b5 s4 avant and imported it in to canada. well here it is, basically stock as atm as im a poor university student .



since i got it home ive done, valve cover gaskets moon gaskets and tensioner gaskets new plugs, front brakes, timming belt and water pump, serp belt, oil pump fixed the broken wire going to the sensor front motor mount, removed the nasty tint. cleaned out the spider pcv thing and replaced the hoses with heater core hose. and test fitted my wheels.




anyhow now its order some coil overs, exhaust, fix the body and start saving to do st3. o and some past wagon horing
(2007 3.6 4 motion)

(96 850R factory manual wagon only sold in canada)

Hey welcome to the forum!

I hate to introduce myself with something negative...but those wheels just do not look good on the avant...

Otherwise congrats on the Avant and welcome! hah

fair enought, im waiting till i get the coils on see how they look and work on the car, they arnt the wheels i would have chosen for the car but i have them and ill run them for at least this year and go from their. its also hard to find people wanting to spend 2500-3k for wheels lol.

"The Sports Sedan with a Fanny Pack"???? Really? Audi really put that on the sticker???

Wow, when I was a poor university student I would have never been able to afford an S4, even if it did need some work. I def wouldn't have been able to afford coilover. Welcome to the forums nontheless. Oh yeah, I love those 850R's

my dad is a prof at the university I go to so its half price and i live at home because i live across the street from school. (well for now part of the reason for getting rid of the passat is because the gf wants to get a place together, had to chose car payment or place) I also have 2 good jobs. car audio bay senior at best buy, and work at a construction company. i miss the 850r every day. it was so much fun. i have a video of it on the dyno some where

I would have never gotten rid of an 850R, especially a manual one and it's red. Perfect haha
