Gareth I take it you are now getting a S4?

Dunc


Oh yes. Wouldn't take an S4 as std but the AMD stuff makes it the car it should have been all along...a baby RS6 [img]images/graemlins/thumbs.gif[/img]

Gareth, So the comment I made on Sunday about you not having the CSL at Christmas may be valid after all [img]images/graemlins/033102bigblink_1_prv.gif[/img]

Well I didn't say "yes", or "no" did I John... [img]images/graemlins/033102bigblink_1_prv.gif[/img]

Let's wait and see, might be a December swap or maybe March '04 I think [img]images/graemlins/bigwave.gif[/img]

Don't worry about it M8...you must be more concerned about breaking the 5k mileage barrier in your RS4.....by 2005 [img]images/graemlins/roflmao.gif[/img]

Last time I spoke to Gareth he was still expecting to pick up the CSL on 1st Sept but then that was a couple of days ago and with Gareth a lot can change in that time frame [img]images/graemlins/thumbs.gif[/img]


Got to keep looking ahead John... [img]images/graemlins/1syellow1.gif[/img]

Getting the M3CSL for the 1st September still as planned. However have 2 production slots for a S4 Avant to take after the CSL. Might be this year, might be next...who knows? [img]images/graemlins/bigwave.gif[/img] Either way dealer is being very flexable as to which car I take, and when... [img]images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Will be speccing the S4 today as well.. [img]images/graemlins/s4addict.gif[/img]

The AMD modded S4 really won me over to be honest and it will be an ideal performance car to run over the winter/spring months...then I will probably keep it until the BMW E60 M5 comes along in '05 [img]images/graemlins/biggrin3.gif[/img]

Gareth, what the hell do you do for a job. Rob banks ?

You sound like my work Neighbour. In the last nine months he's had:
- RS4 (got nicked)
- Brought Another RS4 to replace the nicked one
- In Parallel/2nd car, 996 Turbo
- Sold the 996 Turbo, brought a F 360 Modeno Cab, yellow
- bought the wife a 996 cab (not sure she had prior)
- sold the RS4, got a RS6 (temp car until his noggy rs6 comes, got sick of waiting, and brought the dealers demo)
- sold the 996 cab, bought a masserati
- sold the massarati, bought a Jag XKS cab
- Looking to sell the F Modeno 360 cab, and buy that new lambe baby supercar.

Phew...

He loves his cars! His F 360 Modeno was his day car, and his RS4 was for windsurfing and the golf bag. I respect anyone that can have a F 360 as a day car! I Just cant match the bank balance to do it.

Do Listers still have this as a demo? I seen it a few weeks back when I went in. It was badged as a S420 (AMD livery) implying that its 420bhp, and when I asked about it just in passing, they said it was a 420bhp conversion.
However whilst speaking to ? today I found out that Listers had a couple of orders by customers for this conversion but only got just over 400bhp. I guess that they will vary from car to car. [img]images/graemlins/033102bigblink_1_prv.gif[/img]
I got a near 50% increase in BHP on my car from an AMD remap if the manufacturers figures were to be believed, but this is a 1.9tdi 130 which when put on the rollers before the remap showed 146bhp then 190bhp after.

This AMD S4 does sound interesting though, anyone got one?

The Listers demo S4 avant is Ebony black with 19'' Sportecs.

As I recall it has the Stage 3 conversion, a claimed 420bhp with the Milteks/ECU re-map and racing cats.

Sure sounds nice [img]images/graemlins/s4addict.gif[/img]

Does it have Miltek on the rear bumper? if so I have seen this about. I just presumed it was a customers car, they obviously sold the red one that AMD done all the devolopment work on then.
