Just bought the sickest car

[judeisnotobscur]

Picke up my 01 s8 today. Drove it home to new jersey from indiana... 760 miles to get aquainted with the new car. I never thought I would love another car as much as my 01 s4 but I do. After reading all the reviews I didn't think the s8 would live up to the hype... It did. [hail]

[neverfollow-rs4]

Post pic and that's a great car!! I especially fell in love with the car after watching Ronin. Wish they had a manual here in US. Great pick!!

[judeisnotobscur]

Yeah I watched Ronin the other night... great movie. I'll post up a pic tommorow.

[HIstateS8]

Congratulations and welcome to the club. [up]

[pdxa4]

Congrats, indeed welcome to the exclusive club...

[Ryan_T]

That's it. I'm downloading Ronin. Need to know what all the fuss is about the movie.

Congrats on the S8.

[judeisnotobscur]

The car is a little dirty but i did just drive it almost 800 miles. Started snowing again... ughh... well at least its more fun to drive in.

Nice, I love your B5 S4...I really miss mines.

[DirtyJerzey]

Hey clean S8, Welcome to the club. Hey do you drive or ever driven in the Hamilton,Robbinsville Area?

[Kev]

Ahh Very nice.

[Ryan_T]

Watching Ronin right now. Sick movie so far.

I've been down rt. 537 on my way home from freehold a couple of times. your not too far from there. If you ever need an extra set of hands to help with your car[wrench], or you wanna go for a cruise[drive] hit me up. Have VAGCOM will travel.

[judeisnotobscur]

Thanks guys. I'm gonna miss the s4 when it's gone but i think i'll fit in over here just fine with the s8... and yes Ronin is a pretty sick movie.

[Ryan_T]

I like yours better than the green-ish one in the movie.

[MOFSTEEL]

Miles and price if you dont mind?

This 03 is for sale locally and it only has 58500 miles.
Thinking about taking a closer look. [;)]

Mofsteel U got P.M.
I'm not a huge fan of the red interior but the car looks to be in good shape. I also like the 3 spoke steering wheel a little better, just for looks.

Bruce M (hangs on the QW forum) has three S8's coming up for sale...

"2002 black 89K miles
2003 black 92K miles
2003 blue 67K miles"

[kursk]

Sounds good, i most likely will be hitting you up sometime in end of Jan- start of feb. Got some plans for the A8 this show season. What you planning on doing to you Audi?

well, i found the PES supercharger kit which looks amazing< http://pes-tuning.com/ >... too pricey for me though. I'm looking for a short snout supercharger that will fit in a similar location as the PES kit and fab my own intake mani. I don't know who i can get to tune it though. I'll probly start on that later in the year. right now just looking to put a nice amp & sub in the trunk.

[judeisnotobscur]

how much did you pay and what specs did it have?

I paid under 10k (I got it for cost- dealer got it on a trade- related to the salesman)
132k on the clock
No nav- no park assist-no solar sunroof.
has everything else.
TB, waterpump done
factory maintained- one owner

[Sandeman]

the looks amazing... thats a great looking driveway u have there, 2 S Audis is pretty baller

[judeisnotobscur]

I am pretty lucky, thanks. After doing a little more research i think a centrifugal supercharger like a Vortech or Procharger is going to be much easier to install with minimal modifications. We'll see. If anyone else has attempted or completed something similar, please chime in.

[IronmanS4]

Keep it stock. The tranny won't be happy .

There's a guy on the D2S8 boards on QW thats done 2 o1E 6sd swaps on both an A8 and S8. His name is TozoM8. He's for hire. Chicago based.

You'll get more out of the car w/ that mod than a PES w/ Tip mod.

My 2 cents.

Kudos on the S8. Great cars.

[judeisnotobscur]

thanks for the input. I'm gonna look into it. I priced an 01e swap for my s4 (tip)... it was like 3 grand so i would imagine this would be in that ballpark +... the high compression ratio like 11:1 just puts a damper on how much boost i can run without new pistons anyway. I'm actually kind of excited that someone has had sucess with an 01e swap.

[colt45]

congrats on your new S8. looks great.

[mattsimis]

Nice!
How do you find it vs the S4? I too had a B5 S4 (with K04s) back in the day and Im wondering how it compares and contrasts. Im not expecting the same performance, but the D2 S8 is something Ive had my eye for ages. It would ideally be my Daily Driver.

Due to consumer hatred of big engines and older cars, they are really cheap over here too.

[judeisnotobscur]

A k04'ed s4 pulls much harder than a d2 s8. That being said the s8 handles great, especially for a big car and it makes a great daily driver. plenty of power on tap but not like a stage 3 s4. The stock suspension is amazing. It gives a very smooth ride with a very ridgid feel. I think the s8 is a great choice and i love mine.

[bigdaddyrobb]

There are 2 of us rockin d2 s8s in north jersey. Usually hit up the rt 3 gtg. I have an 03 S8 with 126k on the clock. It is a perfect dd.

[AmarB]

Very nice S8
