If I were to have seen your S4 on the street I would have guessed it was an A4 Ultrasport (minus the rims). I prefer the Ultrasport styling, anyway. I love the color. I had a Pearl White B5 S4. It's a shame Audi stopped producing that color

That was almost my thought with the car when I changed it. I wanted something super clean. The side skirts, mirrors and badges were all taken off and either color matched or removed. Also, having the pearl made such a huge difference in the look over the flat Alpine white. Cheers mate!! Last edited by Overland04; 05-28-2012 at 08:43 PM. |

I too have a v8 S4
I look forward to this thread. You have a clean modding style. It was hard for me to go from euro to a suby, as things like closing the door, trunk & hood were not nearly as sound or solid. |

How's the prosport gauges doing? I've read a couple threads on here about the oil pressure gauge failing and the sender failing also. Your DIY threads are absolutely amazing and the pictures are great! About to order the prosport gauges but after reading some of the thread of it failing I'm a little worried.

They are a little noisy, upon startup when they do the opening ceremony you hear the motors winding and the same when you shut them down. The oil pressure seems to be fine. It does jump around a bit but it measures accurately. Lastly is, they are an inexpensive gauge compared to the Defi so if you tap the housings, they sound and feel inexpensive. I'm using the pod, cup and visor so I have the full "plastic" package going. Honestly, If I had to do it again I would still buy them. I'm telling you only my complaints but for all three gauges to be around $300, I really think they are good gauges and a great deal. If I had the extra $, yes I would buy the Defi but they are crazy expensive and for what I use them for, they are perfect!! Hope that helps!! |

haha no problem. One quick question. I just ordered the prosport gauges. The same ones you got I believe, the prosport premium gauges with the white needle. Now my question is, it looks like you used the sensor under the alternator for your oil pressure gauge correct? I've seen thread and pics on here that show the sender for the gauge being really huge and not being able to fit under the alternator. But in your pic it looks small with just a plug. I'm confused on which one they actually come with lol.

The oil pressure sender will definitely be the smaller one, no worries. There will plenty of room under the alternator. Here is the stock compared to the ProSport. Let me know if you run into any problems, be glad to help out! Last edited by Overland04; 01-28-2012 at 06:59 PM. |
