Time capsules still exist

I guess the real buyers didnt get the memo. Nor did the seller take my offer....I thought it was a fair one. haha

Good data point and happy to know nice ones will still bring the money.

Ahhhhh good, I was hoping my former wheels still existed after I read several weeks ago on my last visit to the forums the RS6 I knew they were on did not exist anymore. Makes me happy to know they live on.

Papadocs car is on life support down here and the wheels made it to live on as well.

Niiiiice!!!!

Looks great, Dave! Is the APR ECU in this one?

**Bigglezworth** · February 18th, 2015, 03:23

So I have to ask, are the 5 spoke euro style wheels uncommon for Audi owners in the US as lots of you are panting..? There are lots of Audi's with those wheels on them here in Canada. I just got rid of a set of 19x8.5 chromed units locally to a gaffer with an A6, and have a set of 18x8.5 here with winter Blizzak's on them.

**lswing** · February 18th, 2015, 03:35

Yes, tough to find good ones. 19x9 is the Euro OEM. I've seen a few reps over the years, but usually 18's.

**DHall1** · February 18th, 2015, 03:46

Yeah, that extra 1/2 inch makes all the difference.

That and the correct backspace.

**DHall1** · February 18th, 2015, 03:57

APR ecu and exhaust is on the Daytona.

Damn, has to be two of the sweetest examples of the breed! I'm hoping that this is the only way I'll be a donor from an accident ;-).

That's what she said...both things, yep...

I was more referring to Biggz not having OEM 19's. I've just searched a bit, but even the reps for these tend to have something like a horrid chrome coating. Sure they can be re-sprayed. Although a bit simple, something about that classic bold 5-spoke goes with the bold body styling. If you get a chance what brand are those? I know you can buy them in Europe for under $1k as it was standard issue, but shipping. And what brand are those 12 spoke thingy's?, looking good my man!!!

Very...only time you see pricing below $15k is blown transmission, other major issues. Again, might be a different story in Qatar, maybe someone just wanted to offload it...so you have ross-tech VCDS and no codes?

**DHall1** · February 18th, 2015, 15:16

There is nothing like the proper fitment of OEM 19 5spokes

19 x 9 et30

VMR V702s on the Daytona.

19 x 9.5 et33

Never any spacers

The car has had the Trans done, I had the car at Audi and they connected it up and they say its all well and healthy. The 2 Turbo's are brand new as well. which is nice. but sadly most of the car is still 10 years old... like water hoses.

**mik15** · February 19th, 2015, 10:07

10k$ even for Middle East is on the lower side, i know these cars aren't well appreciated here, as well as any other old car, i sold mine with 150k miles for close to 9k$ in Abu Dhabi last month. But yours seems to be in a good condition too by what you're saying, so no worries, where did you buy it from?

"I had the car at Audi and they connected it up and they say its all well and healthy" - don't know how the dealer in Qatar is, i can only guess it can't really be better than the ones here where they see a lot more Audi's than there, but can't help myself from laughing, c'mon, the dealers here are a joke, technical training is barely acceptable by my standards, i think i am better than 90% of the guys working there and i am no mechanics expert, just using my logic, so don't trust what they say, check it yourself!

I had my first C5 RS6 with the dealer, they scanned it, saw the TC error and when i asked them about it they said is nothing to worry about, the car is perfect, plus they missed an oil leak from the output shaft seal. So, imagine how good they are.

Current C6 RS6, been there less than a month ago, they had it on lift, front bumper off to replace a headlight washer and nobody has reported an oil leak from the engine, which was as obvious as possible, oil was all over the under tray, asked them how come they didn't say anything, got the typical local laborer answer here "well Sir, will look into it and to the needful" f...k off i wanted to say for being such retards, "unfortunately" the car is still under warranty, otherwise i would've taken it to my trustworthy mechanic!

So, be careful with these retards, got some other horror stories but won't go into it as it is not the place nor time for that.
