Does anyone know this RS4 B5

Post by parmd » Thu Dec 26, 2019 3:09 pm

Merry Christmas everyone !!

I’m looking at coming back to the fold with one of my favourite cars ever the B5 RS4. I’ve found one online at a dealer and was wandering if anyone knows the car or if the dealer is reputable to buy from. Appreciate any info. Have a brilliant Boxing Day

Have you asked over on SRS? They are/were heavily B5 based, someone there would probably know something.
Good luck with the search, I love the B5 too.
previous- Pug 205 gti, 306 gti, 309 gti Goodwood.
Audi S3, S4 V8 avant.
Porsche Macan Turbo.
Gone but NEVER forgotten - C5 RS6 Misano red avant.

Now - Empty garage

If you don't know where you're going, any road will take you there!

Yes. It was mine. Got shot of it after rod no3 punched a hole in engine block during a track day (it was my track car for a while) . The engine was a straight swap with one out of my mate Ali's smashed up Donner car, no I dont' mean doner car but Donner car, Ali used his B5 to deliver for Jason who has a donner van.

The engine was the easy bit but the oil from the gaping hole sprayed over the brakes , I lost control and I stacked the beast into a tyre wall which REALLY bent the front end up.

Pavel and Kcasper of 'RudyinRS - easy for you to say- panel art Ltd' (Grozny) cut the front off a right hand drive model they 'happened' to have in their lock up...come to think of it the boys have quite a few right hand drive RS's in that lock up...and grafted it on in no time. Then it was back on the track...but alas I had to get rid as it was wearing out front tyres quicker than the rears and the bastard would not go in a straight line after the repair.

Enjoy ....I did :thumb:

That doesn't sound good! I wonder if the dealer selling the car knows about the repairs etc...
