Hi guys,

Thought it was about time I posted some pictures of my Phantom Black B8 S4 Avant.

The S4 has pretty much all the desirable options you would want including full Audi Drive Select + Sports Diff, Super Sports Seats, B+O stereo, Tech Pack High 3G, Bluetooth etc.

Car has had many modifications including:

Interior

RS5 Flat Bottom Steering wheel
S-Tronic Shifter
RS5 brush aluminium peddles
Trups Interior LED Kit
Carbon Dipped Interior

Exterior

New 9.5" Wide Concave wheels and Goodyear F1 AS2 tyres
Car Lowered on KW Height Adjustable Springs
Carbon front splitter
RS4 style grill
Carbon Rear Diffuser
LED's all round
Ice White Fogs
Facelift LED rear lights fitted, wired and coded in.
Fitment of Quad Stainless Steel Exhaust system from Scorpion Exhaust Systems (very good!). Car should have come like this as standard!
Carbon Front Lip
Carbon Rear Diffuser
Carbon Supercharged Badges

Electronics
Updated Navigation to latest 2014 Maps
Added full 7 digit post code support.
VagCom Tweaks

Car has also had the MRC Stage 2 tune and goes like stink - it would decimate my old B7 RS4.

Probably one of the quickest cars I have owned; but it is heavy which you can feel.

I still think the RS4 was probably a more fun car with the v8 and the better out of the box handling, but as an overall daily car the S4 is close to perfect and way better on fuel then the RS4!

I was planning on taking some decent pictures but with the bad weather and the fact it gets dark early these are the best I can get for now.

These pictures were taken pretty much straight after the car was lowered; it has been about 10 days since the lowering and the car has dropped a fair bit - the rear wheels are pretty much inside the arches and the fronts have less then a finger gap- it looks lovely but being realistic I am going to have to raise it up a little - I have to take speed bumps really really slowly at the moment. I am planning finalizing the heights this this week and then take it for a geometry adjustment next week.

Overall very pleased with the car and many thanks to Trups for all the advice and the LEDs he supplied.

Very nice mate!
Just need a sound clip of the exhaust now :)
Can i ask where you got the RS perforated shifter from?
I put a new RS4 steering wheel on mine from new, but have been looking for gear knob
to match, main dealer price was a joke!

Gorgeous, where did the rear carbon fibre defuser come from? I want to get one.

How did you get the full postcode on the sat nav? last time I investigated I could only update the maps

Sorry guys, not checked in for a while.

To answer some questions:

1. I bought the rear LED lights from a breakers and got HazyDays to code them in for me and do the wiring. They also did the 2014 Satnav upgrade with postcodes.
2. The Stronic Shifter (not a mod for those that get scared easily!!) was bought from eBay.
3. I have got a few exhaust clips - will get them back up on You Tube. Scorpion have said they might be able to do something of a deal on them. :)
 
Great looking car! Can i just ask what are those rear lights? Not the standard B8 facelift, more like the B8.5, is that what they are? Also where did you get your front grille? Cheers
 
Anees, am I ok to have permission to use a side shot with the leds on instgram?

That rear end looks the nuts, that diffuser and exhaust work well together.

Offt !

cracking motor mate, everything i want but dont have yet, nice work
 
That looks an animal and I love it but it's the complete opposite of what I'm aiming for lol... All bar the supercharged badge which I really fancy. I still don't know why the engines called a tfsi...

Turbo fuel stratified injection (TFSI) denotes a type of forced-aspiration ("turbo") engine where the fuel is pressure-injected straight into the combustion chamber in such a way as to create a stratified charge. FSI (VAG) direct injection technology increases the torque and power of spark-ignition engines, makes them as much as 15 percent more economical and reduces exhaust emissions.

This is also why a B7 & B8 RS4 4.2 is more econimical than a B6 S4, FSI and non-FSI.

Some advantages of TFSI engines:

  1. Better fuel distribution and better fuel charge inside the combustion chamber
  2. During the injection process the fuel gets evaporated, cooling the cylinder chamber
  3. Higher compression ratios, which translates into more power
  4. Increased fuel combustion efficiency
  5. Higher power during pick-up of vehicle.
 
That's very very nice..
Looks the nuts mate..
What wheels are they & how much it set u back?
 
So the terms turbo and supercharger are used interchangeably?
 
Great car, Anyone know where i can get the rs4 grill for and how easy fitment is to the s4 b8?
