Re: 2001 S4 bi-turbo - known issues

yea for sure! the b5s in the states are a steal.. even the b6s are cheap now.. sigh!

i plan on keeping my s4 for a looooong time.. eventually she'll be resprayed to a nice grey color, widebodied and stage 3'd up..

right now i'm looking at upgrading my stereo.. either to an AVIC-D3 or the OEM RNS-E

yeah it's a shame. it's also too bad they never made the red with a red alcantara interior! that'd look awesome!

Re: 2001 S4 bi-turbo - known issues

^^I have NO idea why black wasn't offered...if/when I get new seats, they'll have black alcantara/suede centers for sure.

Re: 2001 S4 bi-turbo - known issues

Black alcantara would be nice for sure and I don't mind the Nogaro but I am very happy with the Black silk nappa leathers, looks great and comfy as hell, I don't think I would change them.

Re: 2001 S4 bi-turbo - known issues

Noob question time...

Everybody keeps talking about the "luxury". Can you elaborate?

Do the rear seats fold...or is there a ski-bag pass-through?

Do all have sunroofs?

What, exactly, is alcantara?

I've found out the stock bhp is 250....what's the torque?

Reeeeallly got a case of "I want one" going here...

Re: 2001 S4 bi-turbo - known issues

Well Jeff the rear seats fold and and there is a ski bag, all have power sunroofs, alcantara is like a suede material offered in the sport model on the seats and door trims etc, stock torque is 260lb/ft from 1800 to 5000 or around there and luxury wise the cars have everything, heated seats, heated mirrors, power everything, auto-dimming mirrors, leather, ski bag, quattro, all I got off the top of my head but the list goes on and on.

well for luxury, to me it's definately the feel. the whole car just feels solid.

rear seats fold 60-40 with locks on them, as well as the ski bag pass.

i think the canadian spec s4's all came with sunroofs, i know it was an option in the states.

alcantara interior have the middle parts of the seats in suede and the leather parts of the door in the suede as well, and the aluminum trim.

you should definately ask jordan for a ride in his stage 3, got a ride in it tonight, and all i can say is that i've never been so depressed about driving my car. mark was definately right about getting a ride in a stage 3!

not too sure about torque

Re: 2001 S4 bi-turbo - known issues

Oh and heated washers including the headlight washers and heated door locks, oh the leather buckets are 10 way power adjustable and I've heard Recaro built, (don't quote me on that one). Newer ones got ESP traction control, perf. susp. setup. (great handling and road feel). A good chip (GIAC) and intake will bump you up to about 330hp with about 380 lbs. of torque, and a turbo back exhaust will net you about 30 more hp and torque, then if you got the time and money skys the limit.

Re: 2001 S4 bi-turbo - known issues

yea 10 speaker ampd sound system that sounds really good stock

you need a ride in jordans car tho.. it has like 500+HP and 600tq the thing makes my stage2 seem like shiz

Re: 2001 S4 bi-turbo - known issues

I'll def. have to go for a ride I'm just scared I'll jump the gun and end up going crazy on my S4. (Got a wedding in Thailand I gotta get set up first). Taking my time for some possible engine build and RS6 turbo setup.

Re: 2001 S4 bi-turbo - known issues

man i was getting excited about chipping my car soon, but after that ride in jordan's.... there was no thrill left in driving my car. that thing was insane!

Re: 2001 S4 bi-turbo - known issues

the best part is it looks like a lowered S4 really.. such a sleeper.. honestly this is the fastest car i've ever been in not to mention i bet this thing could EAT ANYTHING around town.. seriously faster than a viper or lambo i bet..
