  • Zaider's B8 S4

    Hello Everyone,

    Joined up a while ago, but a few months ago, I moved from my Subaru to a 2010 Audi S4. Figured I might as well start a thread.

    My Subaru was fairly modified. Started as a 2002 Impreza 2.5RS and after 6 years of owning it, had a complete 2001 JDM STI Swap (engine, transmission, brembos, etc) along with a custom fiberglass trunk, bigger turbo (Dom 1.5XTR), exhaust, injectors, ST coilovers, wide-ish rims and low-ish. Here's a couple pics:









    The thing is, I got tired of a modified car. I got tired of it only half-working, of scraping in and out of my garage and the general attention it got. I've gotten older and was craving the comforts of a modern OEM car. After test-driving several vehicles (BMW's, MB's, etc), I settled on what I had known from the beginning: A 2010 Audi S4.

    From the day I picked it up:



    It came with the following:
    - Meteor Grey Pearl
    - 6-speed manual
    - 73,000km
    - CPO until 160,000k/mid-2016.
    - Black Leather Interior
    - Nav w/ Backup Camera and sensor
    - Adaptive Headlights
    - Bang and Olufsen Sound
    - Active Sport Differential (must have!)
    - Advanced Key / Push Button Start

    Not long after I picked it up in March, I ordered a set of 19x9.5 +45 VMR V721's wrapped in 265/35 Michelin PSS.





    So far, it's stayed relatively stock. I've swapped out the interior lights for LED's and that's about it. I am really trying hard not to modify this car as its a long and slippery slope. There's not as much aftermarket support for the Audi as there is for a Subaru. Generally all that's done is an exhaust/intake/tune and sways/endlinks. Can do springs/struts, coilovers, or... if I was going to actually modify it, I'd go with air.

    That's it for now. I'm planning on going for an actual shoot soon so hopefully will have better pictures up in a bit.

    Thanks for reading!

    Nice ride! Good to see another performance oriented member! Pretty aggressive tire setup! I've been in a Stage 1 tuned B8 S4 and it was crazy fast.

                This! Maybe shine up the exhaust tips a bit with some Nev-R-Dull and call it a day. Beautiful car!

                  Thanks for the comments everyone.

                  The exhaust has been shined up. I had Jed from Mobile Reflections come and do his work for a solid 9 hours. Car looked better than new after that.

                  I think for this year, it'll remain stock. I can hold off the mod-bug for that long... yes, it would look amazing with a nice Air kit installed and laying on the ground, but my wife might kill me if I modify it that quickly.

                    I have a 2010 Meteor Grey S4 as well. You don't see too many S4's with this colour.

                    Nice ride!

                      Thanks!

                      Yeah, originally I wanted Ibis White, but couldn't find an S4 with all the options I wanted in White for a reasonable price. The majority of them seemed to have the black/red leather interior (I think its called Magma Red or something) and that was a definite no for me. Plus, getting the sports diff and the nav were pretty important. In the end, I realized I could handle having a grey car and I dont regret it at all. I wanted something that would draw less attention than the Subaru. Black only looks good when its immaculate and scratch/chip free... which is impossible.

                      Anyway, here's a couple pics I took after Mobile Reflections spent their time on it.

                      It was really hard to get the camera to focus because the paint was so shiny.

                          Both rides look pretty sweet - looking forward to seeing the S4 develop… not that it will turn into a project or anything
