The car has a couple of other goodies attached to it, as well.

The info he supplied is that it's JHM. I pick up the car this weekend, along with receipts and OEM parts. He's been forthcoming to this point...

Looks about the same height as my jHM shifter, I have it on the lowest setting.

**WinterRunner** · 05-25-2016 02:07 PM

Ah okay I'm not on the lowest, forgot about that.

**RAudi Driver** · 05-25-2016 05:05 PM

Congrats, and welcome to the family. That interior looks spotless.

**SQ RS4** · 05-25-2016 05:20 PM

Looking nice - we are gonna have to see a complete mod list lol

Thanks, and it's honestly a "welcome back". This is my second one.
He just had the whole interior redone. All except the armrest.

Without a doubt. Nothing too remarkable. Off the top of my head.

KW V3s
Hotchkis sways front and rear.
JHM short shifter, clutch, flywheel, piggies
Spacers all around to sit flush
And some weird thing where the intake manifold should sit that says TTS on it. Not sure what that little piece of wizardry is.

I'm sure I'm forgetting some. Will edit this later.

AVUS Ti with that interior? Absolutely love it.

**Mr.Wrong** · 05-25-2016 07:57 PM

Ohh shit did you pick up SoBeRS4's RS4 out of FL that's TTS charged?

Me too. My first was Imola/Ti. I'm not sure which I like better.

I only know the seller by his given name and am not aware of his presence on here. I'll ask when I get a chance.

Hahahahaha, that was a whole bunch of sarcasm on my part, in reference to the weird thing where the intake manifold should be. Of course I know it's supercharged. Very hard to convey sarcasm with only black and white letters because I refuse to use "LOL".

Looks to be a great pickup. That interior just need a new center armrest to look brand new

Now you know

I'm glad you're semi-local. There's now 4 RS4s within reasonable distance of each other here. Sounds to me like a reason enough for a gtg.

**blubusdrvr** · 05-26-2016 05:07 AM

Congrats! Welcome back.

**b6bydesign04** · 05-26-2016 06:49 AM

Congrats man! I remember seeing that car during my search, she's a beaut.

I think there's at least 4 of us on here now in NC (myself, iparatroop, komseh & cmd4).

Thanks guys. SoBeRS4 had a good plan for this car and took great care of it. I'm excited to pick it up.

I could probably find more "flaws" than that if I wanted to nitpick. Considering the age, miles, mods, rarity and price, I'm quite happy that I'll be driving it soon.

It is, in fact, SoBeRS4. I am now informed. I'm down for a get together. I love these cars.

I guess silver really IS the fastest color.

Awesome car, OP. Great pickup.

**lucidmatt** · 05-26-2016 03:20 PM

I'd love to hear some reviews of that TTS blower, I know there has been nothing but huge results with it across the pond.

We'll see. I think the fastest color is that one with the funny wing and the rear mounted twins. Or so I hear.
And thank you.

I'll let you know what I think after I finish this drive late Saturday night/early Sunday morning. I know it's not running the MRC tune so that may have an impact, but I'm sure it'll still be a blast.

There's such a thing as a "long running B5"? I mean, I believe there may be aliens, but come on.

P.S. I'm joking.

As I sit here in Boynton eye-banging my newest material possession (not including the Lamb of God cd I just bought at Blockbuster), and stuffing my face with Panera Bread, I realize that I should have waited to start this thread. Here's why...

I started talking to SoBeRS4 about 2 1/2 months ago in regards to his car. I didn't know that was who I was talking to. I didn't have much hope that I'd be able to swing it because I was scheduled to close on my house June 1st. Well, my clutch went out on my R32 last week and I called my loan manager and told her I needed a new car. She gave me the green light.
I called The bank and had a check the next day. I let John know I was ready to close on the car. Here's where it gets fun. I've never flown first class before. In my email I get a flight reservation to Miami in the upscale section of the plane. I land in Miami and get picked up by a Tesla P85DL Because the Audi got cleaned last night and there were supposed to be storms. If you haven't ridden in a Tesla, do yourself a favor and put it on your bucket list.
So, we complete the transaction, he gives me all of the OEM parts (the trunk is full) and I'm the new owner of an Avus/Ti/Excl B7RS4. I'm happy. My food is gone so I'm going to hit the road. I'll update pics and all that later.
If you ever get a chance to meet up with SoBeRS4, don't pass on the opportunity.
