Well we can't get Audi RS2s in the states just yet and they are also way out of my price range even if we could. So I purchased the next best thing I could get my hands on in the states.

I have always considered a b5 s4 avant to be the ultimate wagon and a Brilliant Black six speed popped up on my local craigslist, AoA only imported 172 of these to the good ol USA. Becuz Amricans **** station wagons anyways...



It needed some(read: alot) cash tossed at it to run right(read: faster) but it was priced slightly under market and the bones were good. After some haggling I ended up buying it.

It has a few modification, and a lot of issues that needed to be fixed. Part of me wanted to buy it just to save it from a teenager, or someone who would poorly modify a cult car blow it up and leave it in a junkyard. The other part of me wanted to buy it so I can keep it forever, only time will tell.

Next came the parts, and man did I order a lot of them-

Engine / Trans
-Frankenturbos with bored inlets
-Bosch 550cc injectors
-Custom CNC fuel rail spacers for the new injectors
-Bosch "040" drop in fuel pump
-OEM Coil packs
-Every gasket under the sun
-Eurodyne software
-Evolution Raceworks intercoolers
-034 Silicone Hose Kit
-034 motorsports engine mount/ trans mount/ snubmount/ solid subframe bushings
-Clutchmasters fx400
-Clutchmasters flywheel -Hitachi 85mm MAF

Other stancey things I ordered-
-BFG G-force all season 225/40s
-1552 Tarmacs

Eventually I hope to pick up dynatech carline cm6s because they are one my dream wheels.

Things the avant came with
-SSAC v2 downpipes
-JHM Short Shifter
-JHM Trans brace
-Custom "backyard special" 3in exhaust system (going to have to figure this out)
-Nogaro suede alcantara interior
-Real carbon fiber trim, it has a rad blueish tint to it which matches the seats.
-ST Coilovers
-A terrible replica rs4 bumper of some sort, it needs a good burning.
-Rs4 grill
-2.8l heads

So that's it. I'll have pictures shortly and hopefully it will also be on the road soon.

I am happy to own one of my personal top 3 VAG cars of all time. Even knowing the immensity of the bills and problems that come with B5 S4s.
