  • The Dad Wagon - B5 S4 Avant

    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.

                  It's close, just close enough to take another weekend till it sees the road.

                  I have been waiting 3 months to drive it I guess we will both need to be patient a bit longer.

                  I am a stock ecu that's needs tuning away from a 400hp station wagon.

                      Ask and you shall recieve! I wanted a Nogaro as well. For now I am settling for nogaro guts. Potato photos launching from the potato gun.



                      Big brakes peaking out.



                      And the beautiful interior

                              Thanks for the kind words everyone. It should be moving under its own power Tuesday with the new ECU then it will need to be tuned to accommodate the bigger injectors, turbos, downpipes, and MAF. It should then be ready for daily duty just in time to make the annual trek down to H20i.

                              It needs a wash and detail badly after accumulating 3 months of pollen and dust all summer.
