Ladies and gents.
I would like to introduce you to my very special car.
It's a 2001 Audi A4 B5, that I've bought new in January 2001.
I'm the only owner, and it's also the biggest reason why this car is so special to me.
The Audi A4 B5 became my dreamcar when I was 16 years of age (and a huge BMW M3 E36 fan), and one of my friends dad bought a brand new Audi A4 B5 1.6. The year was 1997. Once he gave me a ride home from the training, and I was hooked ever since. I would have a car like that one day. And so, 4 years later, after being a very succesful athlete (pole vaulter), I earned my money very quick, and could afford a brand new A4.
In January 2001, my choice actually was to already place an order on the B6 model, because it came out in the end of that month. But I didnt want that, since I thought the B6 was way to round, and to much alike the A6 C5, which I didnt bond with at all. And the B5 was in it's last last time, so I got a great deal on a brand new 1.8T. I chose the color of santorin blue, since it was my favorite color.
When I bought the car, I had a vision of how it would look. I wanted to be different from the others. I didnt want the car to stand out to much, and look like an airplane. I wanted to style it very clean, but not confuse people that it was an S4 or RS4.
So, during the years, I've had some great memories with this beauty. When I finished my exterior styling in 2008, I was very satisfied. I've gotten so many positive feedback on this car, and it makes me very glad. After I was finished with the exterior and interior, I started to tune the engine.
And I've always taken care of it as it was my baby. I've always kept it in warm garage. Always handwashed it. Never drove it in wintertime. And after 12 years, it has 75 000 km on the stand.
Basic info:
- 1.8T with 300hp/440Nm
- FWD
- 100-200km/h: 12,1 seconds
Engine mods:
- ATP Turbo,
- BSR PPC System,
- Simons sports exhaust system,
- sport cat,
- 3" front pipipes,
- inlet hose,
- MotorNord modified databox,
- BSR optiflow kit,
- sports airfilter,
- sports clutch (430Nm)
Exterior mods:
- Lowered 45/45,
- 19" RS6 rims,
- Caractere back skirt,
- Votex side + front skirts,
- RS4 grille,
- home made lower middle grille,
- JE Design rear spoiler,
- front headlights LED + xenon kit convertion 6000K,
- LED rear lights,
- tinted windows,
- aluminum side mirrors
Interior mods:
- Custom made turbo bar meter,
- Momo gear shift knob,
- Momo pedals,
- aluminum rings around the gauges
And finally some pictures of how the car looks now:
And also some short videos:
