Met Gerard at Cars and Coffee and saw his beast. Loved it man!

WOW love that imola yellow!



Just curious, what oil was in it before?

It was whatever the PO used, so I'm unsure. It ran quieter prior, but I'm just being over picky.

Re: My Stage 3+ Audi B5 S4

Completed the 2.0T Coil "Upgrade" last week, and spent the next few days adjust my spark gap to avoid misfires under full boost.
Eventually bit the bullet and swapped the plugs out for sidefires, thus ending the spark plug gap drama.

Running like a beast once more.

Also picked up the rear crank seal/retaining plate/gasket from Natty. It will be my first time pulling a tranny on an S4, so I'm a little apprehensive about doing it myself at U-Wrench....any experienced B5 heads fancy a tranny party?

Don't google tranny party.

Clutch decisions!

Anyone have any recommendations between 6puck vs 8puck Clutchmasters fx400? It currently has a 6, but seemingly the 8 is more forgiving for daily traffic (stop-go-1st-2nd).

I bought the 8 puck. Haven't run it yet.

What flywheel?

AMD seems to be all the rage on Audizine.

Re: My Stage 3+ Audi B5 S4

When I was looking for a clutch I came to the same conclusion you did. More pucks is better for daily duties, and less is better for launches but more grabby.

My 8 puck FX400 is almost dead after about 30,000km. Never launched it or anything. The engagement is pretty on-off as well, but once you get used to it is reasonably easy to drive.

Likely going to do the JHM RS4 clutch next. Friends S3+ allroad ran one and was awesome.

Re: My Stage 3+ Audi B5 S4

Thanks folks, I figure I'll go with the 8-Puck FX400.

Due to schedule, I won't be working on it until July 11th though :(

Re: My Stage 3+ Audi B5 S4

I'd suggest looking into the RS4 kit. It's about the same price.

I have some contacts to get a good deal on either the CM kit or RS4 stuff. PM me if you want

Re: My Stage 3+ Audi B5 S4

I always liked the pedal feel of the RS4 kit... also very robust. Took a lot of launches.

I think you need my Euro-bolster to help finish the interior!! (Or any other B5'er...)

Re: My Stage 3+ Audi B5 S4

Lol...I've no idea what a euro bolster is.
