RS4 Dreams

[Rikki Kitto]

OK peeps since I've struggled with my Coupe' for the last 20 years and seem to be fighting a loosing battle with her I'm seriously thinking of letting her go and punishing myself with a more modern RS4, (which is the car I wanted in the first place but couldn't afford back then) any guidance on which type to go for i.e year, engine type, body shape Budget will be around the £20,000 mark

B7 rs4 for sound
b5 rs4 for turbos and upgrade potential

Both have good looks, b7 for me personally.

what's the current spec of your s2?

[Rikki Kitto]

It's got RS2 hubs brakes downpipe EM hybrid turbo mapped ECU by automark twin servo brake upgrade custom boost pipe to fit the pheaton twin servo in, goes quick but lots of work needed with interior etc so just running out of love and patience got lots of bits ready to fit just not feeling it anymore plus the missus saying "why don't you just get a newer car" for the last ten years has finally worn me down

Been looking at a B7 saloon

Watch a few videos by Vag technic before you decide

[simons2]

Yeah, I agree , been subscribed to them for a bit , seems like you can buy a seemingly good one and then get hit with a 10 grand rebuild bill

[Rikki Kitto]

Exactly what I want to avoid just want a decent car to enjoy without constantly repairing and upgrading

[Rikki Kitto]

Not sure now about RS4'safter watching some of them nightmares, thanks lads

I’ve had my S2 for 24 years next month and I have considered selling as it’s getting so hard to maintain with Audis complete lack of interest in older cars and parts are like rocking horse ****!! So I was after a c5 rs6 but then I thought parts would be difficult for that as well. So I’ve ended up with a late 65 plate RS5 4.2L V8 and I love it!! If your like me am not trying to 0-60 as fast as poss or boy racing I simply love the v8 raw sound and don’t get me wrong I have a bit of fun but what am saying is get a good one with good history and if you look after it then it will look after you. Oh btw still have the S2 and goes out most weekends if weather is good I just can’t let it go after all this time but one day it might lol. Get a v8 and you will have a smile every time

[Rikki Kitto]

Cheers brother, the trick is to be able to find a good one that wont need lots of things doing within the first few months of ownership

You can get an RS4 of any kind for £20k in the UK? Wow. A decentish B5 is double that here in Sweden, and not far off for a nice B7 either.

[Rikki Kitto]

There is a nice B5 for sale here up at £19,995

Nice looking car

I like the earlier V6 cars, V8 timing chain problems would keep me awake!

I've been kept away for the last 20 years with my S2
