  • New Irish/Canadian Member 2012 Audi S5

    Hi folks,Im Brian and new to the Audi world as such, Like McLow on here im a BMW Man and helped set up E30owners.com an Irish based BMW E30 Forum, im still an active member on there keeping an eye on the scene since i left Ireland to live in Canada, Im Northern Alberta Based right now.

    Ive Had BMW's all my life and know them inside out, but decided to delve into the Audi world, An S5 came up for sale last year and at a price i couldn't refuse so i jumped on it, Loving the car so far, altho ive it stored for the winter right now, Its the 4.2 V8 quattro with Lava red leather moonroof, Moonlight blue metallic, full Bose Sound system Nav ect.. Fully loaded the Previous owner spec'd nearly everything when he bought it new.. it really is a fun car to drive, altho im thinking of fitting some 20' rims this summer and a Slight Drop in Suspension, its got an RS5 front Grille and ive added error free LED Licence plate lights, I plan to Wrap the chrome window surrounds in spring time too, thats it for now with the Audi

    My Daily Drive is a Honda Accord EXL V6 and just recently bought a 2017 Chevy Silverado LTZ 6.2 Midnight edition the L86 engine really has alot of grunt to it im loving that for the harsher Alberta road conditions . Back in Ireland ive an E46 BMW M3 tucked up in my dads Garage its a pretty nicely tuned up car (my heart lies with BMW)

    Looking forward to seeing more members cars and gaining a bit of knowledge on the Audi scene too,
    regards Brian

    Welcome Brian. Great write up and great collection of cars!

    Now, if you will excuse me, I must spend the next couple hours on the Internet searching for a minty E46 M3 for myself!

            Nice S5 Brian. Welcome to Canada but sorry you're stuck in northern Alberta [emoji3]. I've got nearly the same S5 as you but with the camel brown leather. Here it is lowered on 20's.

                    Hey Brian,

                    I was limited with my suspension choices as I didn't want to lose the adaptive suspension option that I had. I ended up with H&R Sport springs which lowered the car about 30mm. The ride is just a little stiffer than stock. I would have liked a little more drop but I'm happy with the compromise.

                    Cheers,
                    Dave
