My A4 B5 1.8TQS S4/RS4

[Snowbiz]

Hi everyone!

Wanted to start a thread for my A4, it's a 2000 model TQS with a few upgrades. It has done 100000 miles (160k km) had a full respray under a year ago so the car is in pretty mint condition outside and inside.

Specs:
- Fully converted to S4 exterior, with new inner fenderliners.
- RS4 Recaro partial leather interior
- OEM RS4 passenger mirror (so both mirrors have the same size)
- OEM RS4 interior trim plus door cards, with the black door handles
- Bilstein PSS9 coilovers
- OZ Ultraleggera 18x8 winter wheels
- Full custom 3" downpipe with 2,5" Ferrita exhaust with 100 cell cat.
- Front mounted intercooler
- Cold air intake kit
- Sachs Performance clutch with single mass flywheel
- Bosch 044 fuel pump
- Tuned

So over to pictures of the car:

Looking for new summer wheels at the moment, do any of you have some tips ? I want dish or concave wheels in 18" size

Last weekend i installed a HID kit in the low beams, i like to keep the car the OEM+ route so i mounted the ballast in the original place with a cover on. See pics below!

I am playing with the idea of installing Bi-Xenon projectors in the headlamps, have anyone done this before?

yep, mark has completed a set and mine are almost done, i need to finish some trimming inside and reassemble the casings.

Nice! Do you have any pics and do you know what type of projector thats used ?

Looks really good. If the OZ's are winter wheels what do you run in the summer?

Thanks Chris! I have a set of 18" RS4 reps laying around, but are going to buy new wheels this summer If you have any suggestions come with them

I believe mark used the Morimoto Mini D2S. Mine are the Morimoto FX-R's.

The FX-R's are a tight fit, so if i were doing it again i'd probably use the mini's.

looks lovely, could you post a picture of the back end? I have a TQS in the same colour and I like the look of your rear clusters!

I'd love s4 bumpers too, they look great.

Lovely car Snowbiz

Yeah, the S4 bumpers is a must on these cars!

Lovely car Snowbiz

Thank you

 

[EvilSnow]

I've been eBay-ing them every few days to see if any come up but nothing

 

[slepy]

There was silver s4 front bumper on ebay last week. Went for under £200. I have a set of side skirts if you are interested

 

[Carl747]

Very nice

 

[Snowbiz]

Took a quick wash on the B5 today, have to get it detailed soon! Hope the winter is gone here soon

Do anyone know if 18x9.5 et35 with 225/40 tyres will fit with small rolling off the front fenders?

Cheers!

 

[Snowbiz]

New summerwheels ordered yesterday, 2 weeks delivery time!

 

[Snowbiz]

Protected the new wheels yesterday, rubber is going on today or tomorrow!

 

[aragorn]

I hope your not planning on fitting those in some awful scene style with stretched tyres.

I believe it is called "gay stance" by people that track their cars

Lovely wheels though. I think Michael has the same on his S4.

 

[aragorn]

yeh but you can have nice looking wheels, fitted properly, or you can have nice looking wheels where you've stupidly purchased a size and/or offset that doesnt fit, and are then trying to force them onto the car with ill fitting tyres etc etc.

 

[bgale74]

Very nice looking car Snowbiz..... S4 kit and those wheels look great on these cars. Pocket money being saved up!!

 

[Snowbiz]

Like the stancelook, i have the OZ's if i want to track the car

Cheers

 

[Oranoco]

Everything about those wheels I don't like. Oddly looking at the pics I find myself liking them on the car

 

[slepy]

I like them

 

[aragorn]

You've just ruined it.

 

[bgale74]

Personally, I prefer the OZs but then each to their own.... I think the 3SDMs are "marmite" wheels

 

[aragorn]

The wheels are fine, i dont particularly mind the design, the problem is they dont fit and have the wrong tyres on them.

 

[slepy]

That's because they are 9.5" wide. 8.5" would be perfect imo.

 

[alexvanlewen]

You've just ruined it.

Straight up.. still stock K03?

 

[Snowbiz]

Straight up.. still stock K03?

Yep still stock K03, but are gonna replace it with a FrankenTurbo FT21 or a BBT turbo

 

[docurley]

I still love the B5 shape, and this looks lovely and I miss mine so much.
