Charrie's AUDI S4 Avant

For Spring I plan to change out wheels on my Audi for the 2024 car season :cool

Since the BBS CH wheels are NLA I will be mounting the VMR V810 wheels instead.

These wheels will give the look I want for my Audi . . .

I will be sourcing 5 wheels so I can have a full size spare to match the set[emoji41]

Specs are:
18x8.5
Offset: 35mm
Center Bore: 57.1mm
Bolt Pattern: 5x112
Gun Metal finish

This will be going on my Avant over the upcoming winter months while doing my maintenance for this car . . . I ordered this today

There will be more items being purchased for my Avant while it is on the quickjack over the upcoming winter months . . .


Also ordered these quickjack mounts so I can raise my Avant when the time comes . . .

I feel these blue carbon fiber engine covers will look amazing tucked in my Nogaro Blue Audi [emoji57]

This winter while my Audi is getting worked on, I'm getting my gauge cluster converted to B5 RS4 style gauges [emoji57]

For this ride I feel this is the way to go [emoji41]

I took delivery of my Voshmods 18Z rear Big Brake Kit just before going on my business trip to New Jersey this past week so I will be making preps to begin the process of cleaning the brackets and calipers for paint.

The Voshmods 18Z rear BBK looks like this:

I’m a dumb person asking a dumb question: what are the smaller things below the calipers in the second pic?

Jacob, they are eBrake calipers. The picture below shows how the brake and eBrake calipers are mounted once they are installed...

Ah, gotcha. I’ve just never seen a dedicated ebrake caliper off a car before haha

This is the typical 18Z rear setup for this platform :cool

I will be sourcing this caliper paint for my Audi's calipers :cool

This caliper paint should look very nice against the Nogaro Blue color of the car...

More carbon fiber parts coming in for my Audi this car season :cool

The carbon fiber engine cover below has been shipped and will be installed once it arrives soon:

This morning I paid for the black carbon fiber rain guard, the panel that covers the battery and power steering reservoir

By the end of the month I will have paid for and ordered these blue carbon fiber trim pieces that will be installed and should look amazing . . .

Going to start working on my Audi to get it ready for the 2024 season.

My Audi is now gone. End of a chapter of ownership for this very rare and lovely car. I found someone who will cherish it and give it the love this car really deserves to have. It is meant to be enjoyed and driven which the new owner will surely do therefore I am closing the chapter on this project thread and primarily focusing on my BMWs and my Porsche. :thumbsup

Congrats on the sale. Good to hear you enjoyed the Audi for a while.

thanks fredo, usually when I see one of my cars go away I get alittle sad but in this case it felt good because I know the owner and will see this car from time to time until I move to Florida later this year but even then, I will get texts from him with updated pictures.

I feel this is the right thing to do :)

Dang, that seemed like a pretty quick/sudden sale. I could be misremembering, but did you sell it to a buddy for his son?
