    Wow, who is this! Is this person on the forum? He forgot Hotchkiss sways, and he should really mention if those are authentic or replica RS4 wheels, to me they look like reps.

    Car looks rusty underneath unfortunately, looks like it was prob in NE its entire life Can anyone with a free carfax acct figure that out?
    RS6 #1 904959, Daytona, Silver, tons of "stuff," went through puddle, dead engine, end of #1 for me, rebuilt by local enthusiast and thriving.
    RS6 #2 904568, Avus, Ebony, no stuff, stock minus RNS-E.

    No mention how the block was ground down to fit the trans up, hope that doesn't crack, wasn't there not a lot of material left, along with not all bolts connected? Also the jump around with inspections and basically knowing the shop will clear you in advance, in MA at least.

    Not even sure, but more like $22k and better know how to deal with emissions.

    I appreciate the hard work, just seems a bit questionable all around really to resell.

    rs2crow, if you actually look at this thread, how about all the other stuff when you had the engine out, did you do most seals, is the title clean, no accidents, etc?

    Looks like you get the added bonus of not having to see any info on the dash center console...
