Nice.

Is that a Audi Fox, before VW took the name?



S4's are targets for thieves in NY/NJ; this is what happened in my driveway a couple of years back around 10:30PM on a Sunday night.

Thieves tried to steal my headlight / HID ballast by trying to pry it out with a screwdriver.

That WAS a sweet car. It's a shame the asshats got away. Hopefully they will pay their dues very soon.

I don't understand why you say it's totalled. It really doesn't look that bad from the photos.

The obvious things are the bumper, rear, rims, ic. They also rip a bunch of stuff under the car apart, ripped the oilpan off, blew both turbos, and cracked the trans casing

No, that baby is a 100ls. she was a great car to launch over hills
I DID have a Fox also- pretty cool for the time I had it. Put a side-draft Weber on it and a choke for easier starting- thought I was the ****- Sporty 4 door 4 speed.

Your in NJ and the car wasn't stolen? For the EVO peps, Audi's disappear in the Tri-State area, POOF, gone, if they leave the car, you no longer have any head lights.

Some where in NJ, there is a closet FULL of Audi headlights.

Was that a RS4 front bumper or the Riger one?

Here is mine, I just picked it up 3 months ago, for a daily driver. The car was bone stock, now it's full STG II+






My drive way...

Oh, man. That really sucks.

Do you still have the car or is it pretty much history? It was definitely a gorgeous car. IMO it would be worth it to try to resurrect it back to its former glory if you still have it.

Yeah, it has a smashed oil pan, busted tranny, and busted turbos, but all of them can be replaced, albeit at a healthy sum, no doubt. I owned a 2002 GTI and parts weren't cheap for that car, so I know they aren't cheap for an S4.

If you do have it, here's an idea. How'bout a motor out of the Cayenne Turbo S, along with a new 6 speed manual, and a rear wheel drive conversion?
