Bakerrrr Build Thread Number II: Soon To Be Stanced S4 Because Why Not? #ruined

[bakerrrr]

Thought I start a build thread right from the beginning.
Not new to the B8.5 chassis since I had an A4 that I turned in for the S4.
Here's how the A4 sat

Link to my old thread: http://www.audizine.com/forum/showth...ed-Crazy-Maybe

Now on to the new car

2014 Moonlight Blue S4, Premium +, Sport Differential, Carbon Inlays, Black Alcantara Seats, B & O System


Most of the modifications will be aesthetic since I don't want to get flagged yet, and it's fast enough for now lol

The day I took her home (3/2)

Did you take the air suspension off the a4?

[bakerrrr]

Did you take the air suspension off the a4?

Yeah, I'm switching it over to the S4

[bakerrrr]

Quick Update:
Bagged her about almost two weeks ago just didn't have any good shots
Also installed the HRE and will be installing the CTS Intake tomorrow when it comes in

[JD S4]

Looks really nice.. How does it handle with the bags?

[Lensch09]

Bags and wheels on an otherwise mostly stock B8.5 S4. Has it really gotten to this point, already? RS3 or B9 is starting to look nice right about now.

Typical Cali car, not my liking either.

Handles pretty well actually still need to adjust the damping though

Yeah only had it for a bit over 2 weeks and the bag and wheels are from my previous A4, so it's going to be fairly stock for now ☺

yes every cali car gets the wheels and bags treatment

WELL DONE! Makes me miss my B8 S4...

Love it. Keep up the good work

Thank you, appreciate it

CTS Intake installed, really digging the supercharger whine

Wheels look great, would be better if they were out of the fender so they could be seen.

Thought about poking but I don't want to stretch the tires more than they are, at least for the rear

Where did you get the front lip on your A4?

[bakerrrr]

Where did you get the front lip on your A4?

It from All-Fit Automotive, it's a rubber type lip

[Teamnct4]

I was a fan of your A4 and also love the s4, good job so far.

[doug97gxe]

i usually hate and i mean HATE with a passion bagged cars.. but for some reason with the HRE's these look really good.. this might be the first bagged car i actually liked

Is it the2.5" lip? I was looking into the carbonfiber lip kit like that.

When are you putting the windshield banner on?

[MS203]

Every GTI driven by a teenager? Sure.

My car is a "cali car" and I have coils. Am I an outlier here?? Or do I just have taste?

According to that guys yes, typical cali cars have bags and wheels. Sorry man you're an outlier lmao

Still deciding on what car cult, I mean club, to join so I could slap the sticker for extra stance points

I'm so glad I don't live in california, nothing good comes from that state.

Let's be honest here, what you really hate are bags, because there's absolutely no reason you dislike wheels in general. It's fundamentally one of the first things people change regardless of having performance mods or not.

And that's fine, bags are not every ones cup of tea - but the whole "has it gotten to this point already" is unnecessary. People have been bagging S4's for years. He's not the first and certainly wont be the last. If you're complaint about bags is really because he's mostly stock, what would you have him to do with the system he carried over from the A4? Keep it in storage until he goes stage 2? Would that have justified the install for you?

Just say you don't like bags and step down from your high horse.

Too late now, you've already disappointed the purists. Might as well be a salvaged title.

Of course I am, it's walking distance form my house. I can't not go. Lol

No turning back now, need to get some over fenders now to be "hella wide and stanced" lmao

I've been wanting to go for the past 3 years but get to lazy lmao

Speaking of turning the knife --- if my wife (who's been married to a guy car for 10 years and with him for 14) saw your car (Lensch) and OP's car while it wasn't completely slammed out --- she wouldn't know/tell the difference.. Your wheels are similar, car is similar, same exhaust, same intake, same grill soon...

You're not nearly as unique as you think, my fren. :-) There is your knife turn. You're only special when you're here at home with your crew on AZ. Enjoy your RS3 ;-)

[jdmnomore]

Haters crack me up. Oh no an S4 on bags gotta sell the car now. Oh a bagged car in California nothing good comes from that state. Says the guy in York, PA. Some of you guys really are hilarious and id be willing to bet that your spouses are unhappy if you're fortunate enough to attract another human.

Sorry OP love the car lol.

You've shown at XS for the past three years too. Quit being lazy and make that excruciatingly long and painful, hour long drive to SD.

In his defense p.a. does produce most of the nations agriculture, movies/tv, have some of the best beaches, mountains and the arguably the worlds best ski/board resort. Not to mention p.a is the 7th strongest economy in the world and serves as base to most tech companies.

Coils here too. You're not alone!

Sadly, SoCal Euro happens the same weekend as my annual pilgrimage to Laughlin to take in the sites, gamble, drink and do our fantasy football draft with my buddies so I always miss it. Even sadder that I only live a couple of miles from the Murph.

[nynative14]

this the same bakerrrr from the mk6 gti days?

[Ze_Nardo6]

Not a fan of bags but just wanted to give props to the OP for doing your own thing and taking all the flack in this thread very well. Kudos!

Do what makes you happy
