Well, after 2 months of work, planning, money collecting, etc., I finally own this Beast. Had a minor hiccup (water pump failure, you know, no big deal) on the day I bought it, but all is good now. Timing belt, water pump replaced, IC rads gone, as well as the maze of associated plumbing. Much cleaner and roomier now. Added this trans cooler ( http://www.bmracing.com/PRODUCTS/Automatic-Transmission-SuperCoolers/Automatic-Transmission-SuperCooler-rated-at-9-800-BTU-11x5-3-4x3-4 (http://www.bmracing.com/PRODUCTS/Automatic-Transmission-SuperCoolers/Automatic-Transmission-SuperCooler-rated-at-9-800-BTU-11x5-3-4x3-4)) as well. Sorry to ramble, just really stoked to have the pleasure of owning an RS6.

Please add this one to the VIN list - WUAPV64B83N904820

111941118911190111911119211193

The pics are, one from Thursday night, and the rest are Sunday after church, after getting it all put back together over Friday and Saturday. Went over to a friends house who details cars, and just knocked the dust off of it. still needs a thorough detailing, but looks pretty darn good if I do say so myself.

Gotta get a new front badge, the 6 was missing. The wheels are off of a 2000 S8 and required some spacers. They have 245/40/18's on them. The RS6 wheels were put on an S6 my friend had and sold. I am shopping for some aftermarket wheels and will probably sell these tires, wheels and spacers to cover some of the cost.

Thanks to those who offered their ideas and help.http://www.rs6.com/images/misc/pencil.pnghttp://www.rs6.com/images/misc/pencil.png

I would love some input on the tranny cooler. Placement? Cost? Fittings? all that good stuff. This is a MUST for any one over the 500hp in my opinion. We need a good option.

Thanks,

Stephen
