    Is it true that the car is now missing many of the Sportec add-ons except for the 6 speed?

    The 6-speed wasn't a Sportec add-on at all. MTM did the conversion.

    The turbos and intercoolers are definitely not stock. I'm not sure about the other components of the Sportec RS600 kit, such as the head work, cams, etc.

    I won't disclose how much I paid, but it was less than what the car sold for at the MN auction.

    It's an absolute blast to drive and I'm looking forward to making it faster! :-)

    Garsh ....I hope you DON'T try to register it...the Feds WILL certainly find where this car is and take it away from you.

    (I work for the US Dept of the Interior and know for a fact that the fine folks at the US Dept of Transportation now knows about this car from its very publicized recent history and dubious sale at auction)

    Isn't this car the 'other' one, not the one that showed up at auction in Minn? He said that in the middle of this thread somewhere.

    Oh ok.

    Hmmmm... First future RS6 barn find in 2050.

    Although hasn't the 2003 year now been allowed to be imported at this point without all the federalizing BS. Seems maybe there would be a way to say it just showed up from Europe?

    That and the missing VIN under the windshield and on the firewall and doors..... There is the "new" VIN pop riveted to the shock tower. I wonder what the VAG scan would show for the VIN????

    Battery is where the spare tire goes.

    I wondered about the vin coding in the ecu as well. And don't forget, pop rivets are cheap, nothing but the best homemade self adhesive vin tag for that car.

    Hopefully the RS600 is out shocking sports cars on the East Coast. According to Quattro Quarterly, she's still in MN. Damn - magazines are sooo last last year. See a scan from the member photos section.

    Nope, no updates. The car has just been sitting in my shop collecting dust. It's looking for a new home.

    Interesting, were you able to get the specs on the waste gate springs? I think you mentioned you wanted to try running more boost than the 14psi but this was the limiting factor. Also, what turbos, dp/exhaust setup is this running? Just modified Rs6's? Have you done anything to it yet?

    Any chance you have put together some pictures. Not the fast food parking lot.
