negative quinn, didn't we have this discussion already, I am a taker not a giver

9/6/2006 8:14:59 PM

sounds like a BMW will be needed

i retract prior comments

9/6/2006 9:16:51 PM

^lol is that why you only need a crv? Cause you got the moves, or rather the tongue moves?

9/6/2006 9:43:41 PM

i drive a crv because my parents hate me

9/6/2006 10:29:20 PM

please, do remember how many damn crv's we saw that one day........its the hip honda to drive

9/6/2006 10:35:22 PM

26MPGs!

9/6/2006 10:36:33 PM

my honda gets 27 mpg

9/6/2006 11:17:51 PM

Hey.... you could have purchased your own car... soo i guess your parents like you more than mine like me.


I like the audi

ohh and man i had a 4.2 powered tuareg fly by me today and BOY did that thing sound nasty almost like a nascar or something do that have some sort of butterfly in the exhaust or did this dood all but remove his????

9/6/2006 11:24:43 PM

Well, so here is the thought process now......

Get an S4 now b/c I should save some $$, and get an M3 a bit later after I make some more $$$

But now the question is, should I get an 02 S4 that has a bit higher mileage???
That way if there were problems any of the turbo problem they would have most likely already surfaced, and I could avoid it?

^ Yeah the new S4's with the V8 4.2L are sweeeeeet, but I don't think I can afford them I have to get the older V6 versions

yeah buuut...
you can't




a v8

9/7/2006 11:33:35 AM

yeah.. get an older B5 chassis one...

there are a couple guy around here (central NC) putting down a lot of power with the 2.7TT (400+ awhp).. of course with some modifications...

9/7/2006 1:06:12 PM

some modifications? HA

"Bad = #1. Turbo failure Bypass valves (BPVs) Throttle body boot (TBB) F-Hose #2. Transmission 1st-2nd gear slider problems (6sp only) #3. Mass air flow (MAF) sensor trouble And some other issues Anyone had experience with the B5 S4?"

1. Probably the biggest issue, although there are a lot fewer cars killing off turbos than there were a couple years ago...

Diverter valves can be replaced ~200 -300 for the pair

TBBs can be resolved with a samco/silicone tbb ~80 or the apr bipipe ~300

F hoses are cheap in silicone ~20 if I remember correctly

2. Tranny issues, not much you can do about that one, short of the obvious, if it has transmission problems wait hold out for one that doesnt unless you want to rebuild/replace

3. MAFs go bad just like practically every other VAG car...

9/7/2006 4:11:02 PM

i just got my 01 s4 in may, it's awesome. def go with the S, you wont be disappointed. handles great, easy to mod, awesome performance! S4 without a doubt

so what makes it better than an M3?

not hating on the S4 by any means...it's just that M3s make my dick hard.

^taurus ftw

9/8/2006 12:41:19 PM

I just got an s4. Its a really fun car but there is always shit to worry about. This is what Ive seen on mine in the short time ive had it.

#1 MAF sensor-$125 bucks causing me hell because without it it puts me in EPC fault which means the car runs horrible.
#2 timing belt-they say 60k miles on this car for a timing belt and you should do other work while youre in there (water pump, seals, roller, tensioner) $1k from absoluteautomotive in durham
#3 CV boot yuck
#4 gauge cluster- matrix lines were fucked up but the dealer replaced this

Other little issues but these were the most pressing
There is also a really good community out there for the s4 check out http://www.audiworld.com

Also, I heard they stopped manufacturing the K04 so that might be hard to come by and if this is a tiptronic car forget the killer torque (torque converter is only good to ~310 ft-lb) from either a chip or new turbos

9/15/2006 11:53:14 AM

auto?

9/15/2006 12:12:28 PM

yea automatic

9/15/2006 1:26:43 PM

kill yourself

9/15/2006 2:53:28 PM

it seems to me that more and more car manufacturers are moving away from the "standard manual" and more towards something closer to an automatic - a lot of luxury cars have clutchless manuals and it's starting to trickle down slowly to the more cost-affordable cars

is a guy a pussy if he has the new SMG m3?

smg is not an automatic.

no clutch pedal != no clutch

9/15/2006 4:06:14 PM

^ neither does automatic. Auto trannys have clutche discs inside them

bmw's SMG is the just about equivalent of an automatic with a "sports shifter"/tiptronic or whatever the manufacturer decides to call it

same with audi's DSG

i'm missing your point beethead - what's the difference again? you can't blow the engine on the automatics with the manual mode because they have built in safety precautions to auto shift ~100rpm before the redline? i haven't checked out the DSG/SMG/etc to see if they have this built-in but i'd be willing to bet they do....

9/15/2006 4:12:11 PM

SMG's and DSG's are nothing like tiptronic 'sportshift' transmissions.

Those employ a torque converter.

In SMG, there's a computer controlle clutch.

hahahah go home, put some gel in your hair, put some more fake wood on the dash of your car...
i dunno do anything but say that again

that is pretty much saying that f1 cars have torque converters

the difference is how the power is transferred from the engine crank into the transmission.

exactly
an automagic as alot more drivetrain loss.
but with an unlocked converter can allow the engine to rev up higher without the transmission spinning with it. which is benaficial for say a 1000hp turbo supra honda what ever that has no power until the turbo spools at whatever rmp.

DSG and SMG are completely different! Both are nice, butt....SMG IS A MANUAL TRANSMISSION DUMB FUCK!

9/15/2006 6:55:25 PM

before i bought the 540i6 i barely missed out on a 01 740i that i still see today

and it sold for 12.2

9/15/2006 8:59:48 PM

yeah ko4s are tiny you can't hardly fit a silver dollar in the intake on them
