It's a solid car, last owner the fella I know had it for 3 years previous owner had it 5 years, 4 owners in total. Imported in 1999 it's a 1990 with aircon leccy & windows, All the tyres are in brilliant condition, Decent Avons on the rear but runway ditch finders on the front, Nice JVC unit, Clutch done 51 miles ago plus a list of other bits & bobs done.
The kicker is that it got damaged during that One off hail storm we had here earlier in the year but this isn't as bad as it sounds, During the storm it had a hard roof on so the majority of the small dents are on the bonnet. I'll change the bonnet for one off flea bay or wherever & ignore the rest. The cars is solid & with only 75k up it I reckon it's perfect for what I want it for.

Seeing as I kind of gate crashed the OcUK Dyno day @ PowerStation I thought I'd better come on here and add my car to this thread 
Audi B5 RS4 running 537 bhp & 515 lb/ft
Have had the car for a couple of years now, bought standard and modified by myself over the years to it's "Phase One" level at present. Use the car as intended though with several track outings and indeed am off to Silverstone GP on Saturday which should suit the car far better than Oulton the other week!
I also change the wheels and look of the car like my socks, so here are a few pics of different looks and they are in sort of date order:
Stock - not a single mod
B7 RS4 wheels on stock suspension - not good and especially in black!
B7 RS4 wheels on AST suspension - great look and especially now in silver
Same as above but at Combe and wheels dusty which looks better IMO
One of the dyno runs after having 3" Dowpipes (with no cats) and full Milltek fitted - car still on stock map and close to 400bhp at this point. Yes that's OcUK's very own Fuzz you can see
Bit of action at Castle Combe
B7 RS4 brakes fitted all round
MTM Wheels fitted but weighed a ton so sold on shortly after!
Wagner sidemount intercoolers installed
Dyno again, on stock wheels - here it made 537 bhp and 515 lb/ft
Big flame kicking out on dyno
Smaller flame
Back at a very wet Combe and on stock wheels
Running Sportec Mono 10's
A soaking wet Donington - oh so slippery!!
Combe again, in the sun this time (Forge action day and it was hot hot hot!)
VMax doing 187 mph
Clearing the roads of leaves!
3SDM 0.05's fitted but needing wider spacers
Santa Pod on OEM wheels and covered in autumn mud
After a session with PlastiDip the cars current look
I've got heaps more stuff about my car on a website that I keep up-to-date at http://www.mdracing.co.uk
Oh, and in case you hadn't noticed yet I'm love pictures so post a lot

Lovely RS4, but don't bother making a thread, it will only get over run by the BMW crew bashing Audi's.
Interested in how much it costs to maintain and keep one of these on the road as a daily.

I've seen loads of hate against all the RS models.

Do make a thread. It's a tastefully modded RS4 running big power.
Housey's RS4 got praise, as did Adz's RS6. It's the generic low capacity engines on lease that get the hate on here
And you say in the same post that you want to know what the running costs are...

Few people I know run the older S4s etc, lovely cars too but I can't imagine they are problem-free when it comes to driving/running them. Brakes etc cost a bomb!
Just look at the response from here when the chris harris video RS3 vs new BMW 135i was posted. Everyone saying crap as usual, despite having no experience of either car.
Outstanding & bumped to the next page just in case anybody misses it.

Now that is what I call a very tastefully modified Audi.
