thats a rare car. The only Turbo S4 in the UK i know of is petes, but thats practically s5 now

No not standard but unsure of the make, it does close in all the air scoops at the front a fair bit. One reason why mine has a S5 bumper on as even a standard one is much the same. Not many S4 TII cabs in the UK and as stated above mine is practically S5 throughout.

well i don't think i will be buying it as the user hasn't stated alot alot of details. wouldn't mind the bumper/s, rear jdm style lights and plate holder. i can't warrant 400 quid on that at the mo, most prob full of rot 2 with the leaky "electric" hood! anyone wanna buy my silver n/a? :)

I have a roof on ebay going cheap,virtually new. Most of the water that goes through the holes in the roof finds itself in the rear footwells (if it had seats !!) and will drain away. It looks like a JDM one so hopefully the rot should not be there like the UK ones. Its worth the £400 for spares alone. I just put on the early S4 lights back on my cab and I really like the look, suits certain colours better. Even those wheels will be worth £150 to someone but as always its the engine thats the important bit. As long as that runs then the rest is almost cosmetic compared to the cost of a rebuild or engine transplant.

ohh your tempting me now pete, it is only in leicester so might mail him after the auction see if he will go to 350! and then make it dope! can't be doing with an auto tho! i think if i did have it i would have go the whole hog! wouldn't mind havin a turbo! :) the n/a is quick but just not fast enough! like always!

You can swop to a manual easier enough, my white FC was a auto converted to manual, plenty of donor cars out there for the spares. I had to weld the proper mounting points for the manual gearbox as they were not there on S4 JDM ones. Think the later models had them fitted regardless,certainly all the UK cabs I scrapped had the option for either manual or auto. That in itself is a big job as I had to cut some of my donor car first and then weld in the correct position. I think an auto in a cab is a bit more classey for a car thats quite usually worth more than its cousin coupe. Also loom,cooling,ECU and a lets not start on the pedal box that has to be changed. I would offer him £250 if it does not sell especially if the engine has no history. You can quote:

Engine rebuild: £2000
New roof £800
Brakes £200 (highly likely the master cylinder, new fluid,pads etc etc)
MOT
TAX
carpet can come out of a coupe but the section behind the seats is different but it can be made to fit at pretty much nil cost.

list can go on but its a way to get the car cheaply. I can supply the roof,all the brake stuff you can have for delivery.

i paid £400 ( i think ) for the white non running S4 turbo II that pete has - its passed owners a few times ( as we all know ) and had many many mods ( as it came as an auto with the stock S4 kit )

so £400 might not be a bad price to be honest
