My '01 Audi S4 progress

So i bought a damaged S4 back in November and here is a bit of an update on my progress…

Bumper is getting painted right now, and i threw on a set of headlights:

Some nice winter tyres and stock Avus rims.

On the car originally were 16" A4 rims i think. They were rubbing on the front calipers. And what i found under the front 2 wheels: :2fingers:

So now i get to try and find some cheap rotors for this thing.

next up is the paint shop to do the car up in the next few weeks. Then interior fun!

:tup:

WOW! That rotor :ohnoes:

Nice job bringing another one back from the dead though, thanks for sticking with stock wheels.

stop buying cars damnit

Nice dude.

How many miles on it?

ecstuning.com has all of your brake parts. Zimmerman OEM style rotors for $150 and Hawk pads run like $120 for the fronts.

Any more info on the car?

40k miles on it only.

i dont know too much about it since i got it from an auction. it was a theft recovery where they stole the headlights, bumper, and wheels. It does run beautifully, but I havent driven the thing yet b/c of the wrong wheel and it has no battery. hopefully this weekend i can take it for a spin and see how it rides.

Unfortunately by the time i get the title and register the thing, it will be the spring, so i’ll have to really test it out then.

but its so much fun!

this is #20 … so i think i’ll stop for awhile with the German pair

HAHAHA

ass

thought u where sell the car for a house.

yea, plans kinda changed. when a deal comes along (this car) you just cant pass it up sometimes.

I was wondering what was with that car, I drive by it every day on the way home from work. Good luck with it!

x…

wow that rotor is fucked…

good luck. it looks like it had a lot of potental. how hard was it to get that wheel spacer off?

Moved to DIY

Whatever you decide to do for brake rotors, double check to make sure you get the right hat size.

My A6 uses the same size rotors but they come in 16.5mm and 22.7mm hat sizes. Not sure if the S4’s are the same way, but you definitely want to check on it.

Only one size for the S4

yea … S4 is pretty narrowed down for most of their things i’ve seen.not too much guessing when going OEM. aftermarket, well thats a different beast.

wheel spacer? thats the inner part of the rotor … and it fell out with the wheel. luckily (i guess) it happened to both sides in the front, so i dont have to toss 1 good. replace both and be done with them. and hopefully this was the cause of the ABS light i have on in the car!

How much did you buy that for???

did you ever sell that bmw?
