Default Oldest urS4 in the USA

I have 1992 AUDI S4. Month of manufacture Sept 91, vin # WAUHR54A3NN023773. This indicates that it was the 23773 car AUDI made for the model year 1992. In 92 AUDI USA imported a total of 1808 cars representing all models. Audi USA can not provide anymore info than this. Does anyone know an earlier S4, or can I claim to have the oldest S4 in the USA?. Response appreciated

The 1992 C4 100/S4 model year builds started in August 1, 1991 with NN000001. NN023773 was probably built in the first week or so of Sept. 1991 because the last 100/S4 built in August 1991 was NN023429. At one point, European Car magazine, in an early article about the UrS4, said that only 250 UrS4s were going to be imported into the USoA in the 92 model year.

Just for fun can you check and post up your engine number? I am guessing that is somewhere in the range of AAN002020. The engine number is located on the bar code sticker on the cam belt cover or on the head, just underneath the point where the breather pipe leaves the front side of the cam cover, as shown below:

Here is AAN019008:


Yours will say AANnnnnn:

I have put my comments inside your quote, in CAPS, but I am NOT shouting

Vin # *WAUHR54A3NN023773

Manufacture plate Sept 1991
The *23773 *vehicle Audi made out of entire 1992 model year = DON'T GET TOO EXCITED - BY THE END OF JUNE 1992 THE WERE UP TO 147341 C4 100/S4s (200000 BY THE END OF JULY 92)

Engine # 001 978 = SEE ABOVE, BUILT IN AUG 1991, JUST AHEAD OF THE CAR BUILD IN EARLY SEPTEMBER

What it has *108 K MILES = THAT'S QUITE LOW CONSIDERING. THERE ARE LOWER MILEAGE CARS OUT THERE THOUGH.

V8 lowering springs = MOST LIKELY H&R SPRINGS - WHAT COLOUR?
2Bennett camber plates = SPHERICAL BEARINGS CAN GET NOISY
KONI strut inserts
Big Red brakes *2Bennett *setup = HMMMM...THEY LOOK SILVER TO ME
S2 exhaust manifold = I HOPE YOU MEAN RS2, THE S2 IS THE SAME AS THE UrS4.
Stromund exhaust = THAT IS STROMUNG (G NOT D AT THE END)
17 x 8 wheels
245 *x 40 / 17 tires
MTM stage 1 = ABOUT 260 HP - LIMITED BY THE 2.5 BAR MAP SENSOR IN THE ECU
034 Silicone boost hoses
Euro headlights with HID lows - ALL GOOD
A pillar gauge setup **Boost, **EGT, **Air / fuel *ratio = MORE INFO THAN YOU NEED WITH THE STOCK TURBO BUT HEY.

Still original Tornado Red color **Touchup paint *Revlon Red 680 Nail enamel.
Nice car.

Erikka, as in not a guy or somebody like John Wayne (real name Beverley something). Are we going to have to start watching our language now?

Interesting not may UrS people running anything other than Eibachs or H&Rs. A few Intrax out there. Not common though.

Hmmm...I know Ned Ritchie the founder of Intended Acceleration. Not sure who Dave is. If you happen to look at the exhaust manifold in detail, check for the PN (starts with 034) cast into the manifold. See if it ends with "IA". If so, you have the very rare Intended Acceleration "RS2" exhaust manifold (supposed to flow better than a real RS2 manifold).

Interesting car.
