I will be updating this thread as I go on. Some relevant snippets from the B6 project will be posted here. Timelines may be off, as I will be copying and pasting a bit of what’s already been covered elsewhere, but please bear with me. The main ingredients: POWERTRAIN Built C5 RS6 motor. OEM C5 S6 8-...

Hey guys! I trust everyone’s well. Over the next few weeks, I will be documenting my build. I started in the B6 section, obviously with a B6 Avant Quattro as my base car, but I am now having a change of direction. I am looking at B7 Avants. I will either purchase a 2007/8 B7 Avant Quattro, or as pri...

Suspension / drivetrain items I need to purchase. Items in green I've already gotten hold of. I'll be updating this list, as purchases are made, and more items are being added. B6 S4 front spindles. B6 S4 front lower arms. B6 S4 front upper arms. B6 A4 / S4 front sway bar C-links. Built B6 3.0 / C5 ...

I had the tyres stripped from my B7 S4 wheels this arvo. They'll be picked up for refurb sometime next week. I'm still very much undecided as far as colour goes, though. I guess I'll surprise myself.

My B6 will be at 129,000 miles by the end of the week... I was lucky enough to snag a set of B7 S4 aluminium alloy wheels, with tyres. The wheels are 8"x18" with an offset of 45, shod in 235/40x18 Continental Contact 2. The wheels are all straight, though there's a bit of kerb rash. I was going to g...

Well, the BFM engine didn't kind of work for me. The seller wanted to strip most of the ancillaries off, which I was not keen on. He wasn't willing to come down in price either, so I let it go. I'm most likely going to purchase a complete running D3 4.2 V8 Quattro, as a donor car, that way everythin...

As many on here already know, I'm purely an Audi 077-series V8 fan. I know that engine as much as many know the 1.8T - that is, intimately. I am building a V8 turbo, for B6 420-TS. From the 3.0-specific thread I started, considering boosting the ASN / AVK motor, the response and reception that threa...

Some may recall, I have been considering having a second option to pop the hood. Cable breakages are pretty common, and the thought of a locked hood, and very slim means of getting it open, is a major worry. I've seen this happen in a dealership, after exhausting all options, the hood was destroyed ...

The donor car was picked up, and taken away by the wreckers today. And is now on its way to the Vehicle End Of Life facility. Sounds horribly final! http://i768.photobucket.com/albums/xx329/NaijaGuy/Random/IMG_2131_zpszwhdeggj.jpg http://i768.photobucket.com/albums/xx329/NaijaGuy/Random/IMG_2132_zps...

I've been looking at styling options for my B6. I love the Votex kit, and I wouldn't trade it for the more common USP kit. I was a bit hesitant and undecided about going the B7 RS4 route, as besides preferring the B6 front and rear to the B7, I want to retain the Votex kit. Oddly enough, a comment O...

I think Denim Blue Pearl looks pretty good against the fall background. Blue contrasts nicely against the reds, browns, yellows, greens and russet golds: http://i768.photobucket.com/albums/xx329/NaijaGuy/Audi%20B6%20420-S/IMG_1818_zpsqqizmktj.jpg http://i768.photobucket.com/albums/xx329/NaijaGuy/Aud...

The inboard stance was soon addressed with a set of fairly beefy wheel spacers. 12mm fronts, 15mm rears. This will give an ET value for the front and rear, of 33 and 30 respectively. There are some cheap items out there, that are not machined dead flat, causing a nasty vibration at speed, despite be...

I like the OEM 6-spoke 7.5"x17" alloy wheels, though with an offset of 45, they sit quite inboard of the wheel wells: http://i768.photobucket.com/albums/xx329/NaijaGuy/Audi%20B6%20420-S/IMG_1642_zpswljomowy.jpg http://i768.photobucket.com/albums/xx329/NaijaGuy/Audi%20B6%20420-S/IMG_1643_zpswjyhfzif....
