My First S4

[dmackB8S4]

Hello all,

I have been lurking for awhile to try and learn as much as possible before I found my car. My dads child hood friend owns a VW dealership near my hometown and he had a 2010 S4 Prestige, Ibis White on the lot.

It has
S-tronic,
ADS
Carbon Inlays
B&O

Needless to say I got it for a great price w/ 3 year warranty or 36k miles whichever comes first.

I have lots of plans for the car moving forward.

Any input from you guys on some things that you would recommend to get out of the way from the beginning would be great. I saw someone post about some replacement bolts for the drive train that keep it from moving around so much while under load. I don't remember exactly what was...

Here is a pic of it when i picked her up with 79k on the clock w/ all service up to date.

I wasn't a huge fan of what it looked like. It wasn't me and the wheels had to go.

So last night my new goodies came in and it was time to change things up.

To start, these are the first things I have done.
Rotiform BLQ DDT in 20x10
Wrapped in Ventus V12 255/30/20
Lowered on H&R Super Sports
Roc Euro

Needless to say the car is definitely more my style!

Next up is RS4 front grill and AWE Cat Back

Any input on what i should look into next would be great!

Thanks all.

Looks good, get rid of the v6 badges next.

Tune: Even a stage I tune really wakes the care up.
CR-15 and Rear Sway: $$$ well spent

The mounts you are talking about are offered from a few different vendors.

I currently have the 034 solid billet ones in my car: https://store.034motorsport.com/034motorsport-drivetrain-mount-insert-package-b8-audi-a4-s4-rs4-a5-s5-rs5-q5-sq5-billet-aluminum.html

They make a big difference in how the car shifts but produce this kind of annoying high-pitch whine you can hear in the cab.

Because of that I plan to switch to these: https://www.ecstuning.com/Audi-B8_S4-Quattro-3.0T/Drivetrain/Mounts/ES3097986/

Brake pads are another good thing to add as the stock can be very dusty and noisy.

Lastly, remove the "V6T" badges and either go badgeless or replace them with SC badges. (If the V6T does not annoy you yet, just wait until someone asks what it means or if you have a turbo [>_<])

Haha the amount of people that have asked me that is astounding... I think the Carbon SC badges will be a must.

Thanks for the links!

It drives me nuts.

I tried ordering "OEM" Carbon SC badges twice both times getting shitty knockoffs.

Ended up just forking out the $70 and buying the true OEM.

Another good to do, blackout your orange markers in your headlights [:)]

I would also put in the dimple-less lenses at the same time.
