I had a b5 s4 stage 2 in high school and it was one of the best cars that I wish I had never gotten rid of. Now I have an supercharged e46 ZHP that I will never sell. These 20-30 year old cars are aging like fine wine.
The paint issue on the roof is a factory defect. I've been told it's the plastic they put on the cars during transporting. The clear coats were not fully cured and saltwater was introduced under the plastics. Allroads have the same issue on the hoods
I own a 2001 A4 2.8. And it drives amazing and I personally think that the B5 platform also looks amazing. Thinking about getting a B5 s4 if I don’t get a b7 s4.
I bought a B5 S4 it was always in the shop I spent so much $ so I traded it in for a Vw cc 3.6 4 motion n I love it it’s been the most relatable car I have ever owed I love vw/audi big fan I also had a mk2 vr6 gti I regret selling it til this day so I’m looking for another mk2
You’re hilarious man. Love you for having those plans. DIY’s for these cars definitely need a refresh. I went off forums and let’s just say it wasn’t easy. Definitely want to see you do some work on that gem.
Oooooh, buddy. I'm excited for this. My Noggy was the first motor I pulled if I remember correctly, just part of the B5 S4 ownership initiation process.
I think a lot of guys cut their teeth on motor pulls with the B5-I know I did. I still have my laser B5S4. (Have had the motor out 2 more times since the first pull) 😆
Man I had the 2.7t a6. The thing was not that bad......they refer to it as the nightmare......can't sleep cause the 2.7 . A mechanic helped me one and changed the icms on the airbox with the ones from a 5 cylinder. No problems after that.
Can’t wait to see more videos of the b5!I’ve always wanted one ever since I got my first car (b5 passat). Now I drive a b9 S5 SB and still dream of owning a b5 s4
True story: March 2022 my dad and I had to junk our stage 3 b5 Imola yellow s4. The only thing that it needed was a starter. It was a 2 owner clean title and had 244k miles but still ran and boosted strong on ko4s. I tried to sell it on Audizine, craigslist, etc for a year but because I was in Miami I just couldn't find a buyer at $3500. We ended up scraping it for 600 bucks (smh) it was a sad day I wish I could have donated it to an enthusiast. Anyways now my b7 s4 is for sale, definitely not junking it.
Congrats!!! Absolutely love it. I have your twin car! Jealous of your interior. Looking forward to the B5 content. Maybe it will inspire me to finally fix my clutch on mine.
Do the motormounts and you'll be surprised at how solid the car feels if they haven't been done by now!!!

Always wanted one. But friend of mine had 2 of them and then he bought RS4 shell and throwed everything in that. They are worth the time spent only as rs4. They are garage queens for sure. Broken all the time. Or you do refurb of whole car. From engine to rear frame to have reliable S4. And then you drive for some time and find something broken again. For my taste b5 widebody is like the most beautiful there is. Maybe b7 rs4.
"Uh, well that was fun". (watching powering steering fluid spray out) Welcome to a B5 S4! While I miss my B5 A4 1.8t with every mod possible, I love my B8 S4 manual with dual pulley, intake, exhaust, coilovers, wheels, etc. It's only cost me a rear window actuator from a parts car.
Damn son! Beautiful color 🤜🏽🤛🏽💯 it really is a unicorn 😎. Too bad you're not in San Diego. I'd give you a set of wheels. Really looking forward to your B5 expedition. Can't wait for that content 💪🏽
Subscribed. Single Turbo....? Imagine not having to remove your engine when you have turbo related issues. I'm starting that process in a few weeks on my Imola 🙂 No matter what you decide, looking forward to watching!
you need to be a DIY guy for those cars. My good bud had one, in 1.5 years he put 5k$ all DIY, then he hit the mental limit to maintain this car, he sold it to his friend, the new owner thought my friend let go the B5 at the moment where everything was fixed, then he put a 3500$ on DIY over 6 months, he hit his mental limit. Sell it ar a 3rd owner in 2 year, and the 3rd one got it for 3 years no issues.... lol. He move to N54 world, all kind of other issue, but at least you can put down some real power.
Man i found a nogaro blue w the interior aswell 140k miles for 8k but ive been out the game for so long that idk if i shld purchase it these cars make hella power when done properly
Wait... the trunk on your b5 opens?! Mine has been stuck for years XD Also, I thought you didn't like red Audis, making me feel shameful with my volcano red b8.5 s4 lol
This means we'll either see more videos because there will be more content, or there will be less videos because Eli will be too busy fixing the car to edit videos.
@@IgnitionTube yea theyr both headaches at times but its worth it. Only thing that sucks in rs6 parts are harder to get than s4. But i have extra block & trans just in case. 6spd lit is coming soon. But congrats on your buy man.
B5 S4. The car that either makes you an Audi fanboy for life, or makes you hate Audi forever😂
Tune in next week, when we find out how deep Eli’s fanboy-ism runs
B6/B7 S4 has entered the chat😂😂😂
If you are patient, willing to learn the car, don't buy china parts, dont buy sepauto parts then it should be pretty good. I've got one...I know
@@dcxSpartan117 almost grabbed an RS6 in that color. Beautiful car man
@@izdakilla my poor B6 S4 Avant has 210k miles and the valve stem seals are blown! 😭
After 24 years and 303k miles my Ming Blue B5 S4 Avant has been 100% reliable. Well maintained and stock.
I’ve owned 5 b5 s4s. Let me tell you the 2.7 can either make you or break you but done right can be an absolute monster of a machine! Congrats man 🎉
🔥🔥

honestly this b5 is so clean, i personally would keep it for the most part stock or a basic k04/rs4 clutch but good lucks bro
I think I’m in agreement, get it cleaned up and reliable!!
i got some questions
Yes!!! these cars are such a blast. ive had mine for over 6 years and it never gets old
Looking forward to seeing more of this car. Congrats on the purchase!
Thanks very much!!
good find.. mine just turned 228,000 miles with the same condition.. zero rust!!
The perpetual boost leak machine! Looking forward to this series. Congrats!
Oh boy…. Guess I should buy a smoke tester 🥲
The B5 is one of the ultimate cars Audi ever made!!! At least 10 years ahead of its time when it was introduced!!!
I own a 2001 A4 2.8. And it drives amazing and I personally think that the B5 platform also looks amazing. Thinking about getting a B5 s4 if I don’t get a b7 s4.
The car is clean AF. Let’s get a tune on it ASAP 🤘🏻🤘🏻
Brad! I've been trying to reach out for tuning on my single turbo B5 over the last month via your website. Is there a better way to contact you?
Dude!!! You finally bought the b5. So stoked. This is going to change the way you look at every single other car. Congrats. You will love it.
You had a straight forward clean build with the S6........
True!!
Love these cars. The OG German stage quest

I've been wanting you to get one of these for years. Love the color on this one!
I’m 3 years in with mine...best car ever
Nice! I just bought one myself and its wonderful. Goes well next to my b8! Congrat ignitiontube!
I don't believe I've ever seen an S4 in this color! Looks great! Excited to see where you go with this project car!
This video made my day. Love the B5 S4 content.
My first car was a 98 a4 and I still think it's the best body style and chassis of all time. Love the b5 generation ❤️
Congrats! Very rare color.
So excited for the b5 s4 content!!!!
im a b8 s4 owner but the dream is a b5 s4 , same as you i dont have room for it when it breaks LOL maybe in a few years definetly a dream car
You’re hilarious man. Love you for having those plans. DIY’s for these cars definitely need a refresh. I went off forums and let’s just say it wasn’t easy. Definitely want to see you do some work on that gem.
Stoked to see the journey!
Really excited for this series/build. Really love the B5 S4!!!!!
Me too!!!

😭😭
YES! I’m stoked about this purchase

he finally did it....cant wait to see what you do with this thing
Lovely car! Have fun tinkering 🍻🥳
Can’t wait to see more videos of the b5!I’ve always wanted one ever since I got my first car (b5 passat). Now I drive a b9 S5 SB and still dream of owning a b5 s4

YES!!!!! I loved mine and can’t wait to get another one
Theres a beautiful Noggy blue Stage 3 on BAT!
Really clean car. Congratulations and looking forward to your plans for it!

@@IgnitionTube it's rly something else. For that time. Legendary look.
Hell yeah. Great buy. Looking forward to the new content!
Love this! Been following since the gti
Lets go!! This and the B7s are favorite Audis. Looking forward to the content on this.
Congrats brother!
Nice Eli! Congrats!
"Uh, well that was fun". (watching powering steering fluid spray out)
Welcome to a B5 S4!
While I miss my B5 A4 1.8t with every mod possible, I love my B8 S4 manual with dual pulley, intake, exhaust, coilovers, wheels, etc. It's only cost me a rear window actuator from a parts car.
😂🥲😭
Years in the making. We’re here for it 🎉🎉🎉
🚀🚀🚀
I would love to have a B5 S4
I had one friend of mine who had one running decently @503 wheel, but he would literally rebuild that thing once a year.
Would love to see videos of you fixing this thing
I think you’re going to see quite a few 😂😂
My 2.7 has a power steering issue right now too 😂
Nah that’s wild cam an I are friends on Facebook didn’t expect someone I know of to be in a TH-cam video lol
makes me miss my Casablanca
I have a hibiscus a4 love the color on the s4
Damn son! Beautiful color 🤜🏽🤛🏽💯 it really is a unicorn 😎. Too bad you're not in San Diego. I'd give you a set of wheels. Really looking forward to your B5 expedition. Can't wait for that content 💪🏽
❤️❤️
I'll be honest s4 is a great car. It just needs a good owner so it doesn't sit in the garage. My friend had one with 625whp and it was his daily.
🚀🚀
B5 s4 is one of my favorite cars. I can't work on cars for shit so it's too expensive for me to own
Good purchase!
Sheesh!! I’m only on my 3rd one😂 welcome to maintenance madness😭🤝
Subscribed. Single Turbo....? Imagine not having to remove your engine when you have turbo related issues. I'm starting that process in a few weeks on my Imola 🙂 No matter what you decide, looking forward to watching!
Your first motor pull is kinda a pain in a b5 s4. But after that they are pretty easy
This is what I’ve heard!!
@@IgnitionTube Justin Ballou on TH-cam has the best video to help you getting started and what needs to be removed in what order
Sweet B5 s4
im happy for the b5 s4 purchase but man o man
i hope its able to last a while without severe issues 😅
Do BW k04s stage 3, wheels, nice coilovers and call it a day
Love the idea!!
There’s a 54k miles black exterior on white interior in Cali for sales at a Stealership asking 25k 🤣
That’s not awful I don’t think??
Welcome to the hibiscus family 🎉
Iv never been able to find a b5 for sale. Only b6 xD
You have to find B5 owners and talk to them haha they never end up on the open market
Finally some b5 s4 videos I own one my self someone stole my gass cap I do how 😂my b5 has 170k miles
you need to be a DIY guy for those cars. My good bud had one, in 1.5 years he put 5k$ all DIY, then he hit the mental limit to maintain this car, he sold it to his friend, the new owner thought my friend let go the B5 at the moment where everything was fixed, then he put a 3500$ on DIY over 6 months, he hit his mental limit.

Lol, Eli aluminum doesn't rust, that's why you didn't see any on the b5 s4
You’d be surprised if you looked at others haha
Its galvanised body...not aluminium
Man i found a nogaro blue w the interior aswell 140k miles for 8k but ive been out the game for so long that idk if i shld purchase it these cars make hella power when done properly
Do you like having money? If so, don’t do it 😂😂😂
@IgnitionTube lol i didnt it needed flywheel etc
yes im pumped
Love B5
I got my eyes peeled for this one. 👍🏾
B5 s4 and b9 sq5 is my two cars
Same!
Yesssss finally !!
Wait... the trunk on your b5 opens?! Mine has been stuck for years XD Also, I thought you didn't like red Audis, making me feel shameful with my volcano red b8.5 s4 lol
Lmfao have a set of the same vmrs that are in the back for my Jetta😂
i wish he started his channel before i blew mine up😂😂
This means we'll either see more videos because there will be more content, or there will be less videos because Eli will be too busy fixing the car to edit videos.
HAHAHAHAH
Can you define clapped? Lol 😆
Should of got a 335i
Lmao I just started following skittlez
🔥🔥
Time to race ducki's b5 s4 🥰😉🤭
That thing ain’t got nothing for me!!!
finally!
Oh god lol this is a good idea 👍
Hahaha define “good” 🥲
b5 s4 is less reliable than b7 rs4 :) just saying - congrats tho! had 02 s4 back in 2004.
True but there’s way more potential!!!
Oooooo a hibiscus
🤘🏻🤘🏻
W
🥵🥵🥵
Damn you must love pain
😭😭
I love these B5 S4's but ended up with a C5 RS6. Like the fact that you dont see them much
Almost bought one of those before this!!
@@IgnitionTube yea theyr both headaches at times but its worth it. Only thing that sucks in rs6 parts are harder to get than s4. But i have extra block & trans just in case. 6spd lit is coming soon. But congrats on your buy man.
Hibiscus 🤌
I got a bagged cactus s4 and there not as bad as they say
