These are extracts of a thread on Classic Audi Forum, the RallyRep's getting an AAN grafted in. The posts here are in date order...
P1 - Sunday 6th...
Well there is this...
YouTube - MOV01708.3GP
The last start up and run we'll witness as a KV... Today, it ran over for it's heart transplant... The KV had a suitable run up to temperature, run up to full power and cool down...
Andrea followed us over with the newly rebuilt WR and this evening we've sat here talking about how sad we'll be to see the demise of the 'mad-as-a-box-of-frogs-107db-rallyrep'...
When she comes home, she will be so much quicker, but somehow.......
Different...... And different will be hard to accept after such an incredible engine.:cryin:
Here are a few videos for old times sakes... It'll never sound like this again...

Monday 7th -
Well, the KV's on a pallet...
And the RallyRep looked like this at 4pm
By 6:30pm we'd got the AAN offered up and seated, but John's got to sort out the Needle bearing on the Crank. So it's back on the stand again tonight.:tup:
8th Feb
KV engine's gone off to it's new home...:sad:
The PAS rack has been mated with the S6 pump pipes.
The servo plumbing and one way valve has been modified.
The ECU position finalised
Fuel lines moved
S6 crank plug removed and Roller needle bearing ordered.
Sachs clutch aligned
14" Kenlow twin speed fan mounted, and wiring sorted. (it's a tornado of a thing!)
New S6 engine mounts fitted...
Numerous other bits and bobs sorted, whilst we wait on the Roller needle bearing.
John's had a good day... Bless him.:nod:
Oh, and my Crash-helmet's arrived...
09th Feb
I'll keep this short and sweet, been a busy day, early start tomorrow... But we are here...
We planned to run the existing Rad, but it's just not going to work, so there's a custom built Aluminum rad set for delivery on Wednesday 16th...

Got some photos now -
Front end panel back in - You get an idea where the intercooler's going. (incidentally, it arrived this afternoon).
ECU and Wiring brought through to cabin, ECU has got a location, but was unclipped here.
Overall view of the build, Radiator arrives tomorrow hopefully.
Ford Focus RS Ceramic heatshield will be used to protect the wiring (neither the 'shied or the wiring are in their final position here), there will additionally be shielding between the hot side and the air intake side. Air filter design not confirmed yet.
That's where we're at, the car must be running for Sunseeker Rally in Bournemouth, 26th Feb... So the heat is on... But... Unforeseen event aside, it's looking very achievable... (famous last words, is that!)...

No photos again, sorry... But, the ECU's located, wiring's all through the bulkhead... Front end panel is modified and fitting, but removed again, awaiting the Intercooler arrival tomorrow. Radiator also now 'in the post'... POS's mounted, as are several other 'bits' like the Altitude Sensor. Other bits and bobs of plumbing done too... So, getting there.
