The only performance modifications done to it by the previous owner was that he added H&R springs, bilstein sport shocks and braided stainless brake lines the whole way around.
My plans for the car originally included ditching the stock wheels as they are god awful ugly and installing my 18in porsche twists. the front license plate holder had to go too. the stock exhaust was original and the suitcase muffler was rotted out so the stock exhaust had to go as well. im a fan of window tint and privacy so tint was a must. i had already upgraded the stock intercooler and X over pipe to URS4 aluminum units for the previous owner because the plastic crossover pipe warped and was leaking but i wasnt happy with the URS4 cooler either because i planned on raising the boost so an FMIC was in order. i didnt like the tan interior at all and i just happened to have all black interior with carbon trim from a 93 URS4 so going black interior it was. i upgraded to 2.0 FSI coils with my own custom made harness too, made an intake and did some powder coating under the hood. i wasnt happy with stock ECU tuning so i opted for some of my custom tuning instead. i grabbed my ECU from my AAN swapped 4000 that already had an 034 varimap installed along with chip sockets and went to work creating something to give the car some ass. i know im forgetting more so here more pictures lol.
My pile of parts waiting for the car to be delivered to my shop.
The twists with H&R trak+ adapters/spacers sitting in my wheel storage room.
The dash, door panels, and front seats in the upstairs storage. they've been sitting for a long time.
Put the twists on to get the ulgy stock wheels off the car. i actually gave the stock wheels back to the previous owner as it was part of the deal when i bought the car. the stock wheels had new tires on them and he was trying to jack the price up. i didnt care about the tire let alone the stock wheels plus he drives a B5.5 passat wagon now and the URS6 wheels bolted right on it.
I was prepaired for the worst if the head gasket was failing anyhow.
Next was window tint. i liked it but i feel it looks stupid with the chrome around the windows and the aluminum roof rails so i plasti dipped all of that black.
The michelin man pipe gave out so my options where to A break down and spend way too much money on the samco hose upgrade kit or B build a frount mount setup at a fraction of the cost of the samco hose kit. guess which i opted for lol.
Got the other modified ECU installed and the tuning done along with my ignition cut launch control setup. i discovered that borla uses very thin steel on their muffler casings very fast. this was a week after building the exhaust system.
all of the powder coating done, 2.0 FSI coil conversion done, intake built, FMIC kit built, exhaust with screamer pipe done, 1.9 BAR wastegate spring installed, ebay RS2 manifold installed, new coolant reservoir installed.
Broke 250,000 miles too!!!!!
My avant with some of his brothers too.
Oh i broke the stock inner tail light trying to get it apart to fix the rear lock and my friend with the other green URS6 avant had a set of euro audi 100 rear tails with filler so i got those from him as a little upgrade/ fix for what i broke.
i ended up wrecking the car thanksgiving night on some black ice which lead me to destroying the front bumper cover. after seeing how much garbage used covers sell for and how much a decent used cover went for i opted for the A6 to S6 bumper conversion.
The 75.00 A6 cover with my S6 side grafted on to it.
After all the body work and paint. i also shaved the holes shut in the headlight sprayers too. i have the winter wheels on it now too.
This is last night after a good compound buffing and waxing it with a buffer. i feel the car is once again nice enough to be part of the audi community and not looking like a run down piece of junk like it used to look like when i bought it.
among all that i have the black and carbon trimmed interior in there too along with a custom install of a double din pioneer nav unit.
well thats it for now. i have a few more things i want to do to it when time and money prevails. for now i need to focus my time and money into getting the AAN 4000 quattro running again and finishing the URQ restoration.
