I had an Audi. 2005 S4 6MT and loved it. Miss it every day.

If you don't know about Audizine, you should check it out. www.audizine.com ... I'm sure the B5 guys would lose their shit if they saw your RS4 Avant

My gf actually drives 2010 A4 Avant.

I just put a pair of Hoen xenonmatch on the fogs and white LEDs on the license plate lights. It looks pretty clean now.

I had an Audi too 2005 A4 6M heavy on the mods.

I'm so jealous though that you live somewhere that actually got the B5 RS4 esp in wagon form. One of these days I'll get an RS6. Welcome!

Cheers for the nice words Guys!
It's brought a tear to my eye... sniff sniff...

I've owned Audi's for the past 5yrs or so, mainly the B6 chassis. best one before this was an S4 Avant (4.2ltr V8) lovely engine but quite lazy as NA, but still quick, but heavy up front.

Always wanted an RS4 so got one last year.

Specs:
Porsche Cayenne Turbo S front calipers
De-catted OEM Downpipes
Scorpion CatBack exhaust system
ITG Air filter
Modified airbox (removed part of the housing for greater air flow)
Custom Stage II remap
Hotchkis F+R Sway Bars
10mm spacers for the wheels

Dyno'd at 450bhp and 440ft lbs at the crank.

Will be selling it this summer for a different one. A friend has a black one with highly modified engine, 3" DPs, RS6 turbos etc (550bhp) and even quicker! I'm also looking to get some of your lovely VMR710's - gorgeous rims.

Am not on Audizine yet, but am on Audi-Sport, SRS and RS246 in the UK.

A few more pics to whet your appetite:
The Cayenne brakes:








And this is what the next one will look like:


Previous A4's:



Oh and a bike:


And for you RS6 lovers:


The new C6 RS6 on the left posted 696 PS on the dyno day!!!

Quick question for you chaps - see my sig.
Will I be able to sell these? Appreciate the rules on posting in the For Sale section, but am new to Honda's and these pistons wont get used here in the UK very often. There are turbo conversions but not many.

I got them through a parts supplier who went bust owing me a Milltek exhaust. He gave me some parts including these pistons. Thought they might be more sought after by one of my American cousins?

Not looking for alot of money, as I simply can';t sell them over here...

Apologies for the mods before I get shot down!

Yeah the guys over here have Milltek's/maps etc, and are c530bhp weapons.
Some have hit 200+mph on Autobahn's in Germany.

Main issues with the '6 is the DRC suspension, so most get swapped for Bilsteins or KW V3 + a weak g/box.

Even the A5 is pretty pricey well for me it is anyways. Awesome car but for that kind of money I'd want a bigger engine.

Yeah the Cayenne brakes fit perfectly and are a nice upgrade from stock that are much cheaper than other BBKs. Lots of guys are starting to put them on their cars.

Wow, didn't know they were cheaper. I'd think the Porsche brakes would be ridiculously expensive!

Compared to Alcon or Brembo or Stoptech they are way cheaper.

They're oem rs6 wheels. Essentially a 19'' version of our 18'' s-line wheels... Although I'm sure they had them custom painted/powder coated...

Here are some rs6 reps, in 18'' and 19'' fitments

Yes they're MUCH better than stock items, and almost as good as the B7 RS4 ones, but a tad cheaper. There's a bit of modding reqd to get to work though (offsets dont quite match up so some machining reqd).

Better with braided hoses and better fluid.
