My new ride: baby banana

[bmwade]

I didn't get the BBS LM's as they aren't really my style(which is why I want 18-19" Audi OE rims or possible MTM rims if anyone is parting with something like that). It's stage 3 with JHM RS6-R turbos. I'll get it on the dyno soon to see where it is. Also want to upgrade brakes when I do rims. Plan to put off RS6 build till I can keep this and have the RS6 Avant.

I took it on the dragon on Thursday(17th), didn't buy the pics but I was on about 1:15 if anyone wants a better look.



Tim(Corbett) is a cool guy, was really hoping to see the sportec car but he was in the midst of E85 conversion and so it was in the shop awaiting tuning. Love it or hate it, he has some great plans for the car!

Oops, almost forgot these from the drive home!

Nice ride, but no rs6, why'd you give it up? Rs6-r turbo, ko4 modified?

Sorry, gotta give you shit for ditching the rs6

Sold RS6, I was slightly scared it might have been a 46k mile ticking time bomb due to vin. and yet I felt too nice to be a donor for an Avant build. I will be back in an RS6 Avant as soon as I can find 2 solid donor cars that total up to <20k....Oh yeah and sell my E28 M5 and Hummer H2 SUT.

The only real issue would have been the trans.

But agree it was too nice to become a donor.

I'm keeping my early vin #3 and it's been perfect since the trans. And keeping the S6 avant just in case a donor RS comes up.

Btw, I like Imola on the B5.

B5's in Imola is just awesome, congratulations on a really cool car!

RS4, probably the best car Audi ever made. Perfect rims too! And the yellow! So gorgeous! Only thing I'd do with it is install a euro grille, the american one looks like some old Chrysler piece of shit. Sorry for being honest. Apart from the grille, it's a drop dead gorgeous car, end of story. Thanks for posting the pics!

It's already got an RS4 grill. Can someone answer this question: it looks like the RS4 rims are the same as RS6 rims? Is this true? If so I would be interested in picking up a set of OE RS6 rims or RS6 plus rims.

The B5 RS4 rim is similar to our C5 9 spoke. That said, you dont have the flares for an agressive backspace.

I would try a C5 RS6 18in rim to see if it sticks out too much. 8.5 et30
