B6 A4 TDI to B7 RS4 Conversion ....

[andrewd]

This is absolutely crazy!!!

The RS4 must be VERY expensive in Norway if it worked out cheaper to do this ....

[Jonas_R]

Think a RS4 is around 250.000 US$ about the same as in Denmark.

We pay an extra tax for the cars in Denmark and Norway. In Denmark is 180% extra, so if a car is like 100.000$ then we would properly pay close to 300.000$

Highly impressive, if a little pointless IMO...

Well that certainly makes a huge difference. The guy talks of even a used RS4 costing over 250,000 USD!

Given that he works for an Audi part dealer (so I presume he gets a discount) AND that he was able to perform all the work himself it starts to look a lot less crazy.

Now if only it didn't have that 1.9TDI engine ... hmm, could he squeeze an I5 in there ...?

Because IMO a car that looks fast and ISN'T is pointless.

I am not doing down the work and I did not read the thread, jsut looked at the pictures, but I could see there was some debate over there about it too.

It does LOOK very nice though.

Cheers,

Yeah you got a valid point there.

[Fat Audi 80]

Thanks!

I disagree people could say that of your car it looks good but say someone like Audiman's old S2 was a lot faster so you maintaining it and polishing it is pointless.

Is Jas11n TDI conversion to S2 spec pointless?

Fair play to the guy is what I say as it takes guts time, patience and a fair bit of skill to mod a car and a little thinking outside the box.

And until people have tried to do it themselves give the guy some respect as it's a work of art.

[Fat Audi 80]

I did not at any point disrespect the guy for his hard work or creativity!

All is said was IMO an RS4 replica TDI is pointless.

I don't think you can compare Jas's S2Sediesel with this.

Jason's cost <£1000, the one above must have been £25k+. (I do understand the real RS4 is Mega bucks over there too!)

Cheers,

[Jas11n]

Pah, I put more hard work in than he did

Read that whole thread while I was in hospital. Hats off to the guy, some mighty work gone into it

I posted this a week or two ago.

If fuel and the physical engine itself is also ludicrously expensive in norway, i can kind of see the point if he really likes the look of the RS4. A lot of things are pointless if you look at them with a purely logical point of view, such as carbon b-pillar trims, etc....

i admire his work,but i wouldnt do anything like that to car that it's engine is so inferior.I would definitelly put something stronger in there.Otherwise it is a waste of money IMO.

Of course he may be doing it for promotion reasons for a shop etc.( didnt read the thread either,i just saw the photos)

He does explain in the thread why he keeps the diesel. Again, it's a money/tax issue.

I think the whole project is damned impressive if not to my personal taste.
