May 2012 Featured AZ'er: Dusty Mauve's 2000 A4 Avant 1.8T quattro
May 2, 2012 - Written by Richard Melick, Photos by Sindre Fiskerstrand



User Name: Dusty Mauve
Real Name: Sindre Fiskerstrand
Location: Ålesund, Norway
Year of Vehicle: 2000
Model of Vehicle: A4 Avant quattro
Engine of Vehicle: 1.8T
Color of Vehicle: Light Metallic Silver (LY7W)

For features in the past, we've talked to - and about - members who were longtime enthusiasts and car fanatics, many of them being involved in cars before the purchase of their Audi. For Sindre Fiskerstand (AKA: Dusty Mauve) his passion did not fully evolve until after the purchase of this, his first vehicle, a 2000 Audi A4 Avant 1.8T.

Hailing from Ålesund, Norway, Sindre has fallen passionately in love with his Audi. Much like your first girlfriend of boyfriend, you get awfully attached to your first car. Such is the case here with Sindre and his B5 A4.

Within one month of purchase he was modifying the suspension, immediately improving the stance of the car. He then went on to implement many aspects of the European S4 into his ride including the full Recaro S4 interior, front bumpers, and a few RS 4 bits. His proudest modification has been the KW inox-line V2 coilovers, matched with his 18 inch Rial Daytona Race "2-splits", both of which caused him to fall in love with the vehicle all over again. We know that feeling well... More

Nice car. But what is this business not being able to drive it on the street?

[Dusty Mauve]

Thanks guys!

Oh, trust me…I drive it, but its "illegal" to do so wile being that low and wide.
We have to run a minimum 8cm clearance, rims or tires cant go past the fender etc etc.

In a nut-shell, if you go any more than stock (engine, wheels, suspension and cosmetics)…its hard to get approved without getting TÜV into the picture.

Looks great. The styling is superb and all fits together perfectly.

Do same or similar rules go for neighboring Sweden and Finland or they are much easier on these things? Sweet car man, loving the wheels and that stance of course :)

Not completely sure, but I think you could loose your licenseplates in Finland and Sweden for the same thing.
However, I've heard its easier to get things approved in those countries. In Norway its pretty hard to get anything more than stock approved without having tuv-papers on it.

From what I've heard both Finland, Sweden and Denmark has the 8cm under the car-rule. ...and annual obligated checks. (in norway its every second year)

We bitch and moan about having to get our cars smogged every few years here in The States, but in reality we have it better than many...

Wow, very nice car, looks similar to mine

But why there is no S4 door trim on your car? Looks like the old 96 Models.

And why u have Recaro Front seats and normal Audi rear seats?

No more reason that I liked the look…and it kinda stands out more from all B5s :)
Same with the back seats, personal taste. :)
