The Silver S4 that is in to be made healthy is now starting to see some upgrades added.  I’m starting at the rear of the vehicle and plan to make my way forward.  First off was the stock sway bar to be replaced by the 034 Motorsport swaybar and 034 adjustable endlinks.  The first step of this upgrade is to install the subframe reinforcing brackets.

Next I moved over to the driver side brakes to replace the pads and rotor along with upgrading to the 034 Motorsport brake lines.

While I was underneath the car the rear differential fluid was changed out with some Liqui Moly fluid.

The stock suspension was removed and a Vogtland coilover was installed in its place.

(Note: The rotor was swapped with the other after the picture was taken so that the slot angle is the other direction.)

The wheel bearings are also going to be replaced, but the rear axle bolt has been putting up a good fight against my breaker bar.

The bolt is going to strip before loosening, so I’m holding off on trying any more so I can get the car to a shop equipped with an impact wrench.

To make room for the built engine in the Avant it’s stock engine needs to go somewhere, that somewhere is this Silver Sedan.

Today I began taking the Silver S4 apart in preparation for the swap.

Over the years a few videos featuring the B5 S4 have been produced by owners.  I thought now may be a good time to hold a contest where B5 S4 videos are featured and a ‘best’ video is voted upon by other enthusiasts.  A cash prize could be awarded to the top vote getter(s).

The purpose of this poll is to find if there is enough interest in holding such a contest.
