Pursuing dreams, from Golf 6 to Audi S4.

As an 80-year-old who began to be called uncle, youth and dreams may be more beautiful memories and self-awareness, but it is precisely because of this that we understand his beauty better and cherish the opportunity to realize him more? .

The definition of dreams always changes with the growth of age. What kind of dreams do we have at what age? Once we grow up, this dream can only be mentioned casually. Transformers we liked when we were young, four-wheel drive cars we liked when we were teenagers, electronic devices we liked when we were young, high-performance computers ... When we become a social person with enough capital, we can ignore the budget and buy as much as we want, without the initial excitement. There will be no great sense of accomplishment and satisfaction in realizing your dreams. All these dislocations are ridiculed by the ruthless blade of time, so dreams and pursuits should not be delayed, but should be realized. As the saying goes, flowers can be folded straight, and it is imperative to fold branches without flowers

When I was in college, I was a computer enthusiast and wandered around Zhongguancun for a long time. After graduating from college in 2005, I began to learn to drive and touch cars, and went to the car website every day. From then on, I began to change from a computer enthusiast to a car enthusiast. At that time, my dream of owning a performance car gradually became clear and substantial.

From the beginning of my work, I intend to spend all my money on buying a car with the best performance. I put my car into practice for the first time in 2009. Influenced by the solid height of my first car, 1.8L20V, I decided the height of 1.4t+DSG. Although this car is not as fierce as 1.8t+ Aisin 6at, it has opened the door to a new world for me, a little white who just entered the car sea. They all say what kind of friends they will make and what kind of life they will live by driving. Every day of driving for six years is as passionate and colorful as a red car body. Every day, I am active in forums, making friends, talking about refitting, having parties, speeding up, running mountain roads, making girlfriends and getting married.

In a blink of an eye, four years have passed, and I keep my passion for cars and self-study every day. In addition, 20 1 1, my father's E90-325 hand was poisoned, and he looked for a car to take part in the test drive everywhere, but he was still unwilling to be castrated by N52B25. N330,335, 135, these more powerful imports are still jumping to their deaths. But opportunities will always appear quietly in unremitting efforts. On the 20 13 BMW used car collection, I saw the out-of-print 3.0 self-priming top with X 1-28i BMW China executives registered the new car 1.6 million kilometers. The new car is unqualified in warranty, and the price of the new car is 60% off, just like digging a treasure. The classic N52B30 brought me not only the top 258 self-priming machine, but also the exquisite response. The compact chassis brought by E84, which evolved from E9 1, always teases me about driving an SUV on the track and running mountains like a fool. At the same time, its excellent space allows me to calmly cope with the whole stage of the birth of a child and travel with a stroller.

However, driving a brown pony is very lonely. This car is like being a father for the first time and being a young man for the first time. Has begun to polish, mature, stable, and began to take care of the overall situation. Although its heart is still full of passion and even its internal strength is deeper, it has no brave sprint and beautiful bloom. So I began to pay attention to the source of the car every day. I don't want to avoid vegetarianism for new and used cars. The only thing in common is 300+ horsepower. During this period, I was fascinated by E90-M3 and W204-C63. In order to get a deeper understanding of cold data, I was in close contact with them all day in short rent. Although M3 was easily selected in the face of this unprecedented problem, it was still rejected by practical problems such as hard nuclear tax, fuel consumption, special oil and eight-throttle. I turned to look for the best cost-effective 3.0-displacement supercharged car. I was deeply fascinated by the long row of self-priming, so I naturally chose the closer supercharged car first. Only Jaguar and Audi are still equipped, and then all the extended models and people in the back row are excluded, leaving only 20 16 jaguar XF and C7-A6allroad of various years.

A fancy quasi-new 3.0XFSC was sold by a car dealer, and it was transferred to A6? After allroad, it was planted unintentionally by the new S4. A performance car that can take care of the family = a dream car that does not lose the sense of family responsibility. His appearance made Gu Jia's 6-year-old flesh obviously bigger than self-flying. The only concern is the turbine. Fear of turbine delay, fear of poor response, sudden outbreak. All this vanished after a test drive. In the following days, in the absence of a test drive all over the world, I happened to meet a prospective new hands and six meats in the largest shop in 4S during my inquiry trip. Xiaoding's sales were so good that I walked around the yard several times, and my expectation of six pieces of meat disappeared in the huge body and numb turn. Moreover, after competing with the exhibition car, I found that the increase of the six-meat rear seat, which is famous for its space, is not proportional to the size of the car body, but on the loading space without strong demand.

So I set foot on S4' s car search and inquiry tour. Looking for a car with some bumps, I finally determined that the car was black and blue, and the process of booking and picking up the car was bumpy. Because the financial information was not completely changed to the bank, the price of used cars was lowered after the down payment. It was not until the last license expired immediately that I was taken to Dashunyi to get my license in the strong wind. When I got to the car, I found that the hood had fallen off and I couldn't pay. Fortunately, Guo Daling, a state-owned enterprise on the edge of the Eighth High School, led a patrol.

In many test drives, it is surprising to find that B9 generation is not worse than BMW F30 in terms of chassis adjustment and body balance steering feel, but far better than the extended version F35. Although it is not as good as the mechanical hydraulic assist in the E-series era, it is also a very good training today, which makes me, a mechanically assisted owner, feel a relaxed but comfortable control.

The original configuration and decoration are practical and cheap, and the cost-effective choices are bo bass and A-pillar treble 3K+. After replacement, the sound quality is obviously improved. The automatic parking factory is equipped with 1K+ in 4K, and the exterior rearview mirror is blurred by X 1, which is a useful habit. There are too many high beam lights, which is indispensable. Second generation tire pressure 1K+.

After installing the A-pillar tweeter and replacing the subwoofer, the shortcomings of this simple installation are found in continuous listening: the high frequency is not damp, the intermediate frequency is thin, the low frequency is not put on, and the positioning is unclear, so the tweeter missing in the center of the instrument panel is further installed, and the whole car speaker is replaced with BO kit.

And replaced the European Harman host, which perfectly solved the current sound and improved the sound quality. Look at this pile of DTS, Dolby and other certifications and complex connectors on European mainframes, which are much simpler and more powerful than the original optical board of Aisin headstock. It is said that there will be current noise in the front of Aisin because the motherboard does not match.

I should be the only one who changed my voice like this. Let me share my feelings:

Changing the BO horn to the original position of the whole car is much cheaper than the whole set of BO, which is about 1/3.

Even if the host is replaced, the cost is less than half of the later installation of BO.

In hardware, there are two front door tones, two background tones and one power amplifier less than the full set of BO.

After carefully comparing the original factory options with the full set of BO installed later, we found that:

This scheme only loses the sound field and surround effect, but there is almost no difference in the sound quality performance of the three frequencies, and the subjective listening sense is closer to the monitoring speaker.

Suitable for listening to small-scale instrumental music and human voices. A little adjustment works well. Tri-band equalization, sufficient volume, and details in place. It is a qualitative leap to add treble and bass compared with before. Compared with the original speaker, it is even worse.

However, in large-scale symphonies, concerts, and music with rich sound field changes, we can obviously feel the difference of surround effect and lack of rich intermediate frequency saturation.

Comprehensive feeling can reach more than 80% of the skills of the whole set of BO, which is still very valuable.

By the way, a domestic electric suction door was installed once when the door panel was removed. Since then, it has often been ridiculed by riders as the only performance car with electric suction door in Beijing, and there is also an electric tailgate kit. Electric tailgate can be said to be one of the most cost-effective installation projects. The overall convenience and elegance have been greatly improved. It supports four opening and closing modes: car key, kick, in-car button and tailgate button. Calm and elegant, rich in use scenarios (ps: the red label is to manually open the fuel tank cover and can be prepared.

This small intercooler used with 2.0T*** was disgusted at the first stage of upgrading operation, and the flag set at that time had to be changed. Finally, it was replaced by a domestic brand of large and medium-sized coolers, like CTS brand. Affordable and effective. After installation, it is full of domineering and stable in summer. According to the measured temperature of 35℃, the intake temperature of full throttle log of hot car is 4 1.

Spray performance at 0℃

Ejection performance at 32 degrees.

After strengthening the luxury style, the original exaggerated big pick is not so harmonious. This pick was not used much after installation, and the water thermometer was often blocked, so it was replaced with a new C8? RS6/7 metal hollow pickaxe.

The leg rest of the central passage has been replaced with A4allroad fittings originally made in Germany, and a layer of sponge has been added to the leather fittings, which is softer.

The four-door handle and hand pillow have also been replaced by Napapi and white thread, which complement the interior texture.

The headrest in the back row of the original car was buckled a little forward, which was a bit narrow and worrying for long-distance comfort. An A6 headrest, Napa leather and butterfly wings, was found on a universal treasure, which was higher and flatter, solved the problem of front buckle and made it safe and comfortable.

The fender of the engine room is upgraded to all-inclusive type, and the left and right are compared with the old and the new, and it is fully supplemented, and every detail is spared.

The exposed trunk lid won't fit. I don't understand why the funding should be reduced. Even if you can't see it, there will be security risks. It was because you cut your hand that you decided to mend this board. Regardless of the sound insulation and shock-proof effect, it is meaningful and beautiful to simply prevent the trunk items and hands from being scratched. The missing trunk light has also been made up, and the illumination is much better. The missing corner hook is rarely used, and the hole has been blocked by the added cover plate.

External air-conditioning filter element, two things of more than ten yuan, can greatly improve the service life and health of built-in air-conditioning filter element, and it is super simple to install it yourself.

Here comes the big supplement. Although the original shock absorber has good performance and a good balance between comfort and sportiness, it still lags behind the first-line brands due to cost reasons. KW-V3, which has been out of stock in China, can finally enter the customs after 70 years in Daqing.

KW's unique nylon locking disk and stainless steel rust-proof thread make it possible to freely adjust its height at any time to avoid corrosion. The unique dual-tube shock absorption technology allows KW to achieve excellent dynamic support with a smaller number of springs, improve mobility and give better consideration to comfort.

Compared with the original factory, the shock absorption is not strong, but in the familiar road section, the bending support can be obviously improved, and both the bridge expansion joint and the over-standard speed bump can be more flexible and comfortable than the original factory.

In order to ensure the comfort of daily use, the damping height is only slightly reduced, which is about 10mm before and after, which is only 1 finger lower than that of the original factory. Perhaps most buck-toothed riders will find it strange to be so tall, but after all, it is my creed to sacrifice a little appearance that they rarely see and increase the comfort and worry that the whole car feels all the time. In addition, this is also the creed of shoveling off the tail lip before I install it.

V3 of B9 platform is really easy to adjust. A truck jack can adjust all the compression and rebound damping anytime and anywhere, which is very convenient to play with. Don't waste the baby playing with it.

As shown in the figure, carefully record the feelings, each version has been opened for more than 3 days, and I feel that this set of shock absorption and playability is really strong. Every size and gear adjustment can bring changes to the whole vehicle. Through the effective adjustment of 12, I think the parameters of the front axle determine the driving characteristics and main handling personality, while the parameters of the rear axle determine the tonality of the whole vehicle, whether it is relaxed, comfortable or tight.

However, no matter how it is adjusted, the high-speed damping is not adjustable, so even if it is adjusted to be the most comfortable, even if the roll will be a little bigger, the high-speed line-changing disc bridge will still have enough support and sensitive response. Therefore, even if it has the ability of shock absorption, it is not recommended to adjust it too soft, because the characteristics of straight-line driving and curve line change can easily make passengers carsick. Don't ask me how I know.

Finally, talk about the summary of car use for one year from the aspect of product strength:

The first is fuel consumption, which subverts my understanding of performance cars.

20 18. 12. 15-? 20 19. 12.4 A * * ran away 12208km added 3 1 box * * 14 13.44l long-term fuel consumption1/kloc. 3.0 Self-priming, same four-wheel drive, lighter weight, smaller total tire width and long-term fuel consumption 12.6L/ 100km. The technology of internal combustion engine has indeed made great progress, so even if the motor rises rapidly, it is too early to bid farewell to internal combustion engine.

Moreover, the NVH and site steering comfort of the whole vehicle are obviously better, and the chassis agility is better because of the relationship between the car and SAV S4. The only thing is that it is slightly inferior in steering feel, head response and throttle response, but after all, it is electric power-assisted machinery and hydraulic power-assisted, and turbocharging helps naturally inhale, which can be said to be a fiasco.

After the engine began to respond to the power request at the foot, the surging power was really intoxicating, and the hero behind this feeling was ZF's 8AT gearbox, which was silent in all usage scenarios except ejection. It can be said that you can hardly feel the shifting action without listening to the sound, and the power connection is seamless.

Vehicle space is not a strong point, but it is enough. For me 183cm 183 kg, the front seat is adjusted to my sitting posture, and the rear seat space is acceptable. Not rich and uncomfortable, there is no pressure of long-distance love. The most common thing in my family is that the use scene of a family of three is relatively harmonious.

After upgrading KW-V3, the comfort of site damping has been obviously improved. On the way home, I can often hear the long snorting sound in the back row, which is why I resisted the temptation and insisted on not changing the exhaust, and brushed the analog sound to 20% volume. With Michelin ps4 tires and gentle accelerator, a violent gentleman can instantly become a gentle daddy.

As for multimedia, it can be said to be extremely perfect after changing the host and killing the common buzz now. U disk, SD card, DVD, CARPLAY and Bluetooth are all very convenient and quick to use, and I also link the media in each mode to switch freely between different styles of music.

The function of car navigation to connect to WeChat is simply invincible. Car navigation is super easy to use when there is no signal on the mobile phone, and the mobile phone updates the traffic information faster to avoid congestion, and the all-LCD instrument is gorgeous.

There is only one shortcoming found so far. I don't know if it is an example:

The key battery is too useless. 20 18 12. 12 picked up the car, and the common key died on 20 19. 12.4. My previous two cars died without keys for more than 7 years, but this is also the first car I got into and started without keys.

Since I mentioned S4, I feel my passion has returned. Every day, riders are very busy. The national delegation and the Beijing delegation have friends from all walks of life who love cars, are loyal to performance and like to change cars. Although cars can never be finished, there are always problems to be solved, but what kind of gasoline is this? The source of happiness, the mind will never get tired.

Dreams and happiness have a shelf life. Pick and taste her fragrance while they are still fresh. Don't wait until it's white to realize The Bucket List's indifference to comfort yourself. I wish all riders an early dream.

This issue of Audi S4 modification case thanks to the owner: unstall.
