    on decelber 12th, I tested a 21 inch Q7 wheel (10X21 ET44 with 20mm tailor made spacer) on the RS5 on the front then on the rear... each time, i made a little tour in a roundabout to check potential rubbing.... adn good news it doest rubb. there is more room in the front then in the rear very different than A5/S5 chassis...

    On the rear its prety tight... here are some pics

    a pic with front wheels mounted:
    [/url]

    same on the rear:
    [/url]

    To see how tight it is on the rear I pisitioned one side of the rear on a bump to haev it go inside the fender on that side by about 2 cm or 0.75 inches
    here is the pic:

    Be carefull with what follows... if your a re too sensitive this might break your heart...

    Imagine a RS5 with no interior.... OUCH... but in real life, one has to sufer ot improve...

    Here are some pics of some parts removed:
    buckets seats:

    other parts (side pannels, rear seats):



    and the picture that hurts, a pic of the inside with nothing left....it looks weird:



    and now two pics of the roof ceiling being taken care of to have it with dark grey alcantara: (50% done on the pic)

    To have special designed 21 inch 3 part forged wheels for the RS5, I went to Miami early febriary, have a visit the ADV1 guys and signed a contract with them.

    I met Jordan and Miguel, cool guys.
    here they are (Miguel on the left and Jordan at teh right):


    When we arrived, it was clear I had arrived at teh right place, a white Gallardo was showing around.

    this is the one:


    A corvette as well was nearby...

    At miami, its design and sales office. Production is in Calfornia. I was invited to go to Cliforanis to check the factory but it was too tight in our schedule ot make it work.

    SPEC of the wheels will be 3 part 10X21 ET26 (ROTOR look bicolor with one spoke written RS QUATTRO and center hole allowign to place the OEM AUDI caps.

    Finish will be as desired. exterior lip can be polished, polie with varnish , chrome, brushed or painted (always using powder technology whih is much lighter and stronger).
    The center can be of one color or two colors (like the titane OEM rotor).

    We can also know sell the ADV1 wheels (with exception of Germany).
    All wheels being tailor made with diamter, width and ET as desired by customer

    Really happy to have take a plane to go to Miami
    I did come back dead though.

    We had a bite at one of the italien restaurants at miami beach which we had to go since their name is "QUATTRO" as shown on this pic:


    on saturday we had some free time we went to see the everglades.

    A little video sequence taken with my Iphone on these airboats that go pretty fast at about 60Km/h or 40miles/h on the water.

    Its a great feeling. we have the felign that you are sliding on the water and driving like a car on curves sideways... lots o fun...

    We then worked on the air filters...


    It appears that the original filters partially obstructs the air intake air boxes in the car thus affecting the airflow. On top of that, the OEM botom foam tends to come off and this after only 3600 miles!
    photo of the original filter:

    The new filters are made of foam and are thinner thus allowing optimal air flow. The flow is thus improved by 11%.

    And on the dyno ?
    We simply replaced the two OEM paper filters by foam filters with better design and this has led to a power gain of 6 HP and 9 Nm of torque without any further modification!



    No doubt its worth it on a RS5 !

    amazing project, like everything exept of the subwoofers. How will the wheels look like?
    can you explain this: "* Interior upholstery redone (since AUDI did not accept to do what I wanted) with a combinaison of black nappa leather with blue stiches and blue alcantara"?

    I mean we removed the leather from the seats and reaplced with new leather and alcantare and blue stiches. AUDI did not want to do this on my RS5..... which in other words its bull shit that AUDI can do what you want.... its what they allow you to do.... neither did they accpet to do the roof ceiling in alcantara...

    the center of the 3 part whels will look like the OEM rotor wheels in bi color...
