UrS6 Saloon restoration

[Wrath]

Goeran,

what about your plan on rear brake setup?i found one D2 A8 is running separated E-brake from Brembo.That's nice.it has separated bracket for E-brake.let's say 2 brackets on a wheel.i need to inspect our rear spindle hubs if there's some free mounting holes available for the E-brake bracket.
from what i see,that A8 removed the dust shield and mounting the E-brake bracket instead.i wish to fabricate mine and get some BBK on the rear
for a better braking balanced.will let you know once the project has begun since now i stuck on the motor and some other stuffs maybe a couple months until i sorted one good used brembo E-brake.

Sounds interesting, but for now I will use Thuppu´s rear BBK adapter and re-use the S6 caliper with bigger discs 310x22 from the A8 instead of 257mm or what they where

Cheers

Yeah how could you thanks pop, going back to the garage tomorrow as I was sick this weekend. Hopefully I can start with the brackets / adapter with in two weeks. you could say that ive spent a few hours on her... And it will be more I guess

Hi Goeran,
how did i miss this thread!nice car nice restoration.i believe you spent a lot of time on her.
waiting to see your BBK mate.it's great to fabricate a bracket for 18zr calipers.keep us posted Goeran.
Cheers,
pop

For the 350mm disc no adapter is needed, just shims to distance out the caliper from the strut. The caliper fit´s the oem strut as it sits. But as to the mounting angle no bigger then ~350mm disc is possible, therefore I decided to make adapter plates that works as a shim and also relocate the caliper in a up forward angle so it looks better and can make use of the 360mm discs that I'm planning of using. 360mm discs is easier to get hold of and I don´t like the idea of grinding the disc down to around 350-352mm to make it work.

Looking forward to your brake updates, and the photos, especially the front brackets, also what discs are the 350mm discs ?

Thanks.

and new paint for the valve cover it will be a lot nicer I believe, the smurf blue is gone.

Cheers

Thank goodness !

As described above, not mine but this is not the correct model, I will use the 6-pot (in my eyes) smaller and more good looking 6-pot caliper, the one for 350mm> caliper... but paint and stickers will be similair, now sleeptime , a long day ahead tomorrow

The Porsche calipers are a bit late thu to my friend (who has the powder coating company http://tjbpulverlack.se/ ) has a stomach flue or what it´s called in English, but in the middle of next week they will arrive. But Porsche Center North in my home town had made a similar order and they turned out super:



Mine are of course sandblasted and hand sanded for a extra smooth finish, I guess they didn't bother

Powdercoated with RAL 1018 and then heat resisting decals with a clear powdercoat on top. Can´t wait until I get mine...

Meanwhile I ordered 360x34 discs with 18z cayenne pads, 310x22 discs with new oem pads to use with my homemade adapter for the front and Thuppus rear big brake upgrade adapters

Tomorrow the fun begins, a friend of mine has lent me his garage for this winter and are going to help me out... is a real car lover and works as a mechanic for a living so it will be great.

I love the work your doing there and the superb attention to detail. I too strive for perfection when my £££ allow me.The brake upgrade sounds a bit special and will be watching with interest.My favorite road wheel is the 17" URS6 + spec. That doesn't mean i don't appreciate your wheels because i do they look great!

I will at some time in the future be doing a little tinkering with my head.Gasflowing is a great way of making the head even better than it already was and unleashing a few more horses and efficientcy.

You managed to find BRAND NEW 7A cams.....very nice. I Have a very low mileage 7A engine thats in excellent condition.Could you do me a favour and measure with a vernier the lobe heights on both exhaust and inlet so i can compare your new cams measuremnets with my low mileage cams. Cheers

Thank you mate, I'm glad you like it, it will take a little more cash to get where I want but this car is just a hobby car nowadays, earlier it was my daily driver but then I changed job and to commute with this car wasn't an option thu to high mileage in petrol and also I didn´t want to put those miles in it. So the battle continues to have a mint UrS6

Yeah had a little bit of luck when I saw a some old guy was selling out his rallyshop, He had a bunch of new Audi things that was suppose to hit the rally world in the 90´s but then they changed some rules and some bit was stored for later. Think I paid 150£ for the cams... they are very popular in Sweden and you can easily sell these used for around 300 quid. So in those terms it was a steal. Don´t really know if I´m going to use them or put them in a showcase

I can take a vernier when I´ve got around to do so and PM you with some measurements, no problem

As my Bilstein almost didn´t turn up I decided to wait with the chassis component so I make everything at the same time. The car has been given a new set of inner and outer tie rods and new tires since last update and more paintjob has been done as I´m kind of pedantic so trunk and rear spoiler is now painted and all marks and dent´s is gone Have ordered a Apikol diff mount and snub mount to go with the rest of upgrades that I have this winter so sooooon it will be getting a new spine to the whole car.

Have also bought myself new brakes (again) not that the stock was bad but thu to my big wheels I had to feel them out with something. Thuppu made me some bracket so 310x22 rear discs is on it´s way and Nic0las sold me a nice set of Cayenne 6-pot caliper that will line up with 360mm discs, Caliper are in paint and when the struts is going for a overhaul with shocks and all, I'm going to fabricate a adapter plate so I can align the calipers in a 90 degree mounting angle so I can use bigger discs and have a more proper function of the caliper itself. Maybe someone else want a adapter plate for their S6 in the future. Will post here when it´s all done. The adapter plates will either be in high tension aluminum or titanium.

Next inline after the chassis upgrade is engine upgrade.

Head is being removed for a proper rebuild (have some valves that doesn't seal up and makes it stumble on idle) with a stage 1 porting as we call it in my home town. Have a bloke here in my hometown that has a airflow bench and good knowledge about these engines and porting these heads, so he will be getting the head in March I believe, also new injectors and a freshly rebuilt K26/k27 Hoffer turbo is sitting on the shelf. Along with brand new 7a cams, don´t ask me where I got them as they don´t exist, and not for the price I gave either

Along with Arons carbon fiber parts for the engine bay (valvecover, camcover,injectorcover etc.) and new paint for the valve cover it will be a lot nicer I believe, the smurf blue is gone.
