My second B8 S4
Re: My second B8 S4
Got the advance key sorted at Glasgow Audi on Saturday, took 5 hours of waiting to swap over faulty bit in one of the rear door handles but at least that's it sorted 

Re: My second B8 S4
I have had my 2010 sprint blue avant now for 2 year's, and absolutely love it.
I bought it with 75k miles on it. It was owned by a sales agent down south, and had full audi service history and all recipts for any work carried out. My original plan was to get a B7 RS4, but after seeing the Chris Harris video with his Revo remapped S4 avant, against the B8 RS4. That really got me thinking, as I wanted something that was quick, able to carry my family comfortably, tow trials bike's and a horsebox occasionally and still average between 25 and 30 mpg. I know some people will say, that I should have got a 3.0 tdi. But I was fed up of diesels, and wanted a decent soundtrack again, having previously had several 5 cylinder audi's and an sti subaru. A couple of months after I bought the S4, I entered a competition in performance VW magazine, for a Revo remap, thinking that it would be perfect, but it would never happen. I had actually forgotten all about it, and nearly fell off the toilet seat, when I got the Facebook message that I had won it. They arranged for it to be installed at my local Revo agent in Inverness, who did a first class job of making sure that he had the most up to date download for the car, before installing it and road testing it to ensure all was well. The car was noticeably more responsive and pulled harder, although it was after a couple of days running, and when someone in a B7 S4 tryed to jump me of a roundabout, that it really showed the difference, dropping it into second and nailing the throttle, i just watched the B7 getting rapidly smaller in the mirrors. I have recently fitted a stasis full cat back system and revo replacement air filter,
that now gives the engine the voice it deserves, without any of the drone that normally goes with aftermarket systems.
So for me, the 3.0 tfsi S4, now with 104k smiles, ticks all the boxes and then some. I can't wait to get back from offshore each trip, and get back behind the wheel again.

Re: My second B8 S4
Tell me more about the stasis exhaust...I need some rumble with no drone, the stock exhaust is too quiet
Re: My second B8 S4
I have the Stasis exhaust and maybe selling it as I want more noise, think V loud, the stasis one is fantastic build quality and the noise is just right I think
unless you want loads of noise

Could you put a video up of it?robokn wrote:I have the Stasis exhaust and maybe selling it as I want more noise, think V loud, the stasis one is fantastic build quality and the noise is just right I think

Re: My second B8 S4
Not sure how to put video up with this phone, offshore at the moment. But the pictures show the quality of the system.
