    Cool Used Purchase: 2002 D2 S8

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Just purchased my fourth Audi. Couldn't be more happy. Finally I possess one of my dream cars. If you are interested in the purchase process (A fun and informative one indeed) I will be featured on German Cars For Sale. The interview is currently in the works. A link to the article will be posted here when it is published. Until then here are some photos.

























    More photos to follow in a few days. Tint and wheels on Thursday.
    I also need input on which direction to take the exhaust. I want a more throaty sound under throttle yet quite idle note. Nothing cheap sounding. Considering straight piping the resonator or deleting a muffler. Any experience? I would like to keep a stock looking exhaust tip.
    Also may consider coilovers to lower the car. Unfortunately I enjoy the stock ride quality and most coilovers stiffen the ride. Is there a kit out there with stock characteristics yet MOAR low? Maybe I should consider lowering springs instead? Any experience with photos to back it up?
    Feels good to be back here.
    Cheers!

    Mounted 20" Axis wheels that were laying around the shop today. Had to order 8mm spacers from ECS to clear the front rotors. The front wheels sit flush but the rears need 15mm spacers for a more, dare I say "stanced" fitment.

    I also had the S8 tinted 20% all around.
    (rear back drivers window was fully lowered)

    Nice OEM wheels. Definitely a fan of that look. @S8ilver

    Recently winterized my car.






    Sadly though I have a feeling I will be replacing the S8 with an SUV soon. I have been going off road (Cringe) and need to haul around my new toy.





    I am extremely loyal to the Audi brand having owned four but they sadly dont offer the vehicle I am searching for. So I am in the market for a Cayenne S, V10 TDI Touareg, but will probably end up with an E70 BMW X5 4.8i.
    Drove a Q7 the other day and jeez, it was a boat.
    Going to miss my S8. It is the best car I have ever owned.
    If you are interested make me an offer.
    Extremely well maintained despite the dirt photo. For example the car is detailed twice a month...
