Review of Stage 3 S4 *video*

[agh1889]

I put this together and had fun doing it. It is a short direct to the point review of my b5 s4. I felt compelled to make a review because all the ones I have watched are very wordy and they never give actual 1/4 mile or vbox times.
Hope you enjoy, please tell me what you think.

Nice Andrew, the testing portion was helpful too! I think one of the biggest areas we are lacking is real world reviews of the car from the perspective of someone reviewing it as a daily driver, this comes close.

Thanks Christian, my goal with this was just to show what to expect when you put the stage 3 setup on the car. Everyone will post about hp but you rearly see how that translates to the road.

Sounds interesting, i'll have to give it a peek when i get back to my home computer

Also, I embedded it for you to make it easier for people to watch:

Nice review. I will be using my S4 as a daily. Probably just going to go stage 2 until I have the funds to do stage 3 and have a newer car for a daily.

i didn't understand the 7/10 ricerness rating given in the end credits.... please explain how you arrived at that, as most examples don't look like this:

Nice review. A touch dry. Gets better at the end.

[james 408]

wow slideways, i glanced over your pic way too quickly. 30 seconds in to looking at that pic and i'm still chuckling at some of the details. The layers of rice... the detail required to rice out the bottom skirting in a different color of bad excrement... the chromey tail lights... I dare say woven rice. I'm fascinated by it.

I put that in the end credits awhile back and honestly its not that ricey. That was based off what the B5 usually becomes if not owned by someone who has taste. Also from the average idiot who knows nothing about cars they will put the average B5 into the same category as a honda of similar year.

Good review, as I am getting ready to daily drive a stage 3 FT car myself.

Dunno man, it takes a certain kind of person to own these cars. Usually the type that add pep boys vents and underflow don't have the knowledge or ability to keep an S4 running.

It's a unricable car in the long run.

$150-200 stg 2? I agree if work is done by yourself you can save money but even a CAI will put you close if not more than that price point. Piggies will save you, but need tuning, ic's ect to meet the stg 2 threshold, not to mention clutch or other supporting mods.

Not bad. Keep playing around with the video OP. I have always liked the S4 B5 in black.

I agree, I've used mine as a daily for 8 years. From near-stock to 770s. Still my daily.
