My S4 build.

[Sumo337]

So, I bought another B5. Much love. Now, I have a bagged 2000 A4, and a 2000 S4. I'll post pictures, and then the mods on it.

















If you want to look at my bagged B5 build:
http://www.audizine.com/forum/showth...4-My-bagged-B5
The mods on it when I bought it:

Engine/Drivetrain:
* Stage 1 APR tune with stock, 91, 93, and 100 octane programs
* AWE Tuning drivetrain stabilizer
* Vibrant cat-back exhaust

Wheels/Tires:
* BBS RC 17x7.5" wheels (16 lbs each)
* Dunlop Direzza ZII tires

Suspension
* 034 Density Line front control arms and solid metal tie rod ends
* 034 Density Line front strut mounts
* Vogtland lowering springs
* Bilstein dampers
* Hotchkis H-sport hollow 35mm front swaybar with updated links
* Neuspeed 19mm rear swaybar with updated links

Brakes
* Porsche/Brembo 928GTS 4-piston fixed calipers (same as Porsche 993 "Big Reds", just black instead of red)
* Larger B6/B7 Audi S4 rear rotors (300x22mm) with 034 caliper relocation bracket
* Braided stainless steel brake lines all around
* Hawk HP Plus pads all around
* Front brake cooling scoops/backing plates from VW Phaeton

Interior/Safety
* Corbeau FX-1 Pro rigid composite seats with custom slider brackets
* Schroth Clubman III 6-point harnesses with 2019 FIA expiration date
* Custom harness bar

It's a well-kept car. I got a 1" binder showing when it was bought, all the services, parts, all the way till now. Previous owner posted it for sale due having too many cars ( 911, 2 B7s). It is a new project due to selling my bug. This is a track car that he did. For me, project and weekend fun car. Maybe autocross. This. car handles amazing. Love it.

Here's the plans for it:

Peeling off all the stickers on it.
All new LEDs in interior, trunk, plate lights
plastidip the grill black (only the outside chrome)
euro clear headlights
HIDS
BFI air leather shift knob
alcantara / suede - pillar, headliner, trim
Coilovers maybe
Wheels
Cupra R lip
30% Tint like my A4
Skid plate
Exhaust

Basically, a nice looking car (like car show), but with some fun.

So on, this is my build. Have fun joining long. Right now, I'm broke.

I like the look of the S4's interior.

I only hope you're not going to bag it like your A4? It looks okay, but it makes a fast car impractical to push to it's full potential. As in drive it the way it was built to - hard and fast.

[rani_aridi]

How do you like the Corbeau's? I've been looking at the exact seats and thought they would be perfect for the S4. They seem like the most comfortable choice. Clean car!

impractical in which way? Why cant it be pushed to full potential?

[Sumo337]

@Rani_aridi pretty comfy seats. I like them.

@Nollywood I never said I'm going to bag it. I hate the bouncy ride on my A4, and this S4 with mods on it, handles awesome. If you see where I said "here's the plans for it:" I said coilover maybe.

[n8henn]

I saw this for sale in State College. Very nice pick up! Congrats!

[Tjtalan]

looks awesome, great starting point.

[Sumo337]

Peeled off the Quattro and "save the ring" stickers, but I wanted to take pics while the sun is out. Therefore, Audi sport is sticker still on.

Lol...do I really need to spell it out? An S4 hovering a few inches above the ground can't be driven hard, and thrown into corners. Neither can it be driven fast over bumpy surfaces, the car will be airborne most of the time.

It doesn't matter though, as the thread starter has said airbags are not planned for the S4. His A4 looks great, but not practical, regardless of how you may wish to view it.

Drive mine hard, does corners better than anything i have driven in. Car put down 600whp.

Oh yeah? If your S4's bagged, and as low as the A4 pictured above, then I find that hard to believe. A bagged car is bouncy, very different to a car lowered on springs or adjustable coilovers.

A bagged car is more about aesthetics - it looks good, and get's noticed, and folk talking. However, it is NOT practical, unless your roads are billiard-table smooth.

Im on air. You choose your desired hight. It has 4 sensors which controls the hight as you drive or do hard corners. The car doesn't even lean on hard cornering . I went to track with it and my time was better than s4 with kw2. I know it all depends from drivers skills, but i can assure you it holds just like coils on the road.

[Sumo337]

Actually, I owned this A4 from nov. 3, 2014 to now, and it's my daily driver. Plus that, before I bought the S4, it was my weekend windy road car. It IS sometimes bouncy, but it handles great. And, funny, I live in Pittsburgh, PA. Aka horrible roads, pothole hell.

live there right with you.

nollywood you might have never rode or driven in a properly bagged car with a proper setup before. My 04 R32 is bagged, shaved bay, yada yada show car. however i full sway bars, end links, fully adjustable airlift front bags as well. i can assure you that my car will out handle any coilover setup you can buy off the shelf for any car out there.

[christianb5s4]

Ah, so you bought this car. Good snag, it's a very well setup S4. Pretty much perfect starting point for a build!

[s_mitocky]

Do you think I could see some more pics of that harness bar? Im trying to figure out how to get one into my car because it seems like the typical mounting points for those are no good in these cars. Nice car BTW! just saw it featured in an article somewhere

[astondan4]

Very nice. Need more power asap to allow those harness's to make sense. Looks good though.

A lot more faster then most stock S4's going around here. Anyhow, it's made for the track, not for the road. Right now, a little too fast for me.

[Sumo337]

Got some stickers..

Tripe Aught Design and Patagonia, my favorite clothes brands, and a ricebowl.

A month of driving my APR stage 1, it started feeling slow.... This car turned me power hungry lol

Awesome buy, car was done right🏽

Coming from my A4 with around 250-270hp, it's a lot faster. The torque-curve is never ending. Unlike my A4, there's no waiting for boost. Love it.

[Sumo337]

Been thinking about those add-on Bilstein shocks-to-coilovers. From my A4, I love 18x9.5. Thinking of et30, little camber.. Will fit nice. Right now, removing the upper grille to plastidip the chrome rectangle black.

[Sumo337]

Great wrapping!

[Sumo337]

Bought another BFI leather knob, I love it. One in the A4 and one in the S4.

[Sumo337]

Pretty day, pretty pictures.

[christianb5s4]

Did your BFI knob screw down like stock or did it use a set screw?

[Bordom]

It just screws on

[Sumo337]

Put the sleeve over, screw in the 3 little bolts, and threaded the main knob on it.

Like this in my A4,

Looking through this and noticing you have fixed back racing seats, I was so happy you decided on a 6 point harness. Most people just get a 4 point, and at that point you should just keep the stock 3 point, cause 4 points cause more damage in a high speed collision. Most people don't realize you should be using either a 5 or 6 point harness.

Upper st. Clair.

I noticed my JDM fuckboys ran around in their 4-points.

[S4gasm2.7t]

Solid point, this is what happens when I don't read the first paragraph lol I miss important shit haha. Either way OP should keep those 6 points

Just ordered front & rear rotors, black dipstick, LED plate light, Ziza LED interior kit.

[Sumo337]

Got some front hawk ceramic HPS pads and rear Akebono ceramic pads.

[Bordom]

Didn't notice until now, but that Audi sticker reminds me a lot of the URS4 on the B5.

Can you see the body underneath from this angle?

Looking at pic.. A little.

Does anyone know how to remove the hazard /cup holder / fob buttons cover? I got the plastic cover to replace the wood cover.

Just pry it off from either side gently.

it's held on but some metal clip things that are plastic welded to the back of the plastic fascia.

[jaychen]

They break off easily though.
