5 Speed, 2.8 V6, Super clean. Yes, those seats are blue.

Had to hold off on a new motorcycle, tough decision. Busy day today. Really busy. Handing the other one out to a relative.

Clear corners, roof rack, audio, wheels coming soon.

Any wheel ideas?

Haha, I'm letting a relative "Lease" it for now.

She's quite the defensive lady, I'm not sure that you would try to take it from her.

Dang it.

The chrome is to be Plasti-Dipped.

Tint, Meh. If I can find a non sketchy place.

Hooning? Hooning , Would you doubt me hooning a car? That's happening.

How's the history on it?

Really, Really clean.

Three owners, 150k, major maintenance done. No accidents, runs like a charm.

Very nice! I've always liked that generation of the S4.

Outstanding!

Thanks! Non smoker also. So I'm happy.

I sorta wish I'd bought an S4. Not many De-Hooned ones though.

Big Bubba Ray > jkm7680 05/03/2014 at 20:38

Ah, thought that was an S4 at first cause of the badge on the bottom of the steering wheel. Even so, nice find. Those A4's look great with the right wheels/tires on them.

Yeah, Thanks. Those 2.8 models had the steering wheel straight out of the S4. Love that crap out of that wheel though!

RS4 wheels.

These Rs4 reps are cheap as fuck. I'd have to get separate tires though. I've actually considered these on my list.

Modbargains have some different rep wheels as well. Lambo wheels are pretty popular too.

Yup, Harttman makes Lambo reps that look pretty nice.

They're slightly more expensive though, I trust the sturdiness of these reps though. They seem reputable enough.

Thanks! Lots of fun to come out of it.

It is gorgeous and I want it. I would kill for a 2.8 but they are so rare around here, most are 1.8's.

jkm7680 > Rory 05/03/2014 at 22:33

Thanks man! I had to do a good amount of picking around to get one with the right engine and stick. I'm not a big 1.8t guy, so I had to opt for the V6.

It looks to be in wonderful condition ! Best of luck with it !!
Hopefully around mid-summer I will be able to get a better daily driver then the Civic. I have been scouring Used car sites. I am trying to find a B5 2.8 in good condition (preferably a Wagon) but I have had no luck.
Another strong contender is a 03-onwards Honda Accord Type S (tsx)
They are so nice, and more available

Thanks! Yeah, it's in great shape for 150K. I also searched a little for a wagon, those are unicorns alright. Honestly the Honda will probably be more reliable than the B5.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask!

It looks great, seriously, more details in the future.

Thanks! I'll be posting some build threads, and a larger photo dump after I detail and touch up the paint a little bit.
