Have one last cool car from the shop this week, this B5 S4 that one of my guys just picked up for $4k. Big plans for it, MUAHAHAHA.

Have a great weekend, Oppo!

I hope those plans are giving it to me for free!

Step 1: remove engine.

Well wouldn’t that technically be Step 9213011, because they have to remove everything around it first?

True story, but he still loves them.

They’re not what i’d call unreliable, they’re just not too easy to work on in some respects.

I’m sure I would too, once everything was replaced. I’ve considered a B5 S4 project several times, but forum frustration stories have stayed my hand. I really just want a modern version of them: AWD, easily upgraded forced-induction that isn’t a 4-cylinder, manual, and reasonably compact while seating 4.

Current S4 is huge, and everything B5 size/weight is stuck with a 2.0 or less. Closest modern versions are the 235xi (does it even come manual?), ATS-V (no AWD, $$$), RS3 (sideways 5-cylinder, $$$, still want one).

It needs some cosmetics, but for the money it’s pretty damn solid.
