UrS6 Saloon restoration

[Wrath]

Jupp, 19" BBS Lemans copies, The car is just in need of a good wash and polish after 2 years in the shed

[Dift]

I was about to say 19" nooooooo!! I roll on standard Avus, but... They look great in the picture!

[Majorcina]

I wonder how this brake's fit under 18 avus mk2

[Ficksy Heart]

i have the same frontbrake behind 18" avus

but not a better picture at the moment

Nice. Impressive. Can you remind me of the size of the disc ?

Looking forward to your driving impressions in due course.

Continued best wishes with your back, car, house, and life.

Thuppu's adapters are for the 360x34mm Audi A8 discs

[Wrath]

Macspring: thanks mate

Ficksy: i love those wheels, what ET are those? Hade to put 17mm spacers on mines as they are ET45
Gonna get similair wheels in The future but this will have too do it for now

I use my own adapters but similair to Thuppus, The disc is 360x34

[macspring]

Thanks guys re disc size replies.

[Ficksy Heart]

my wheels are 8j x 18“ ET48 no spacers.

i had think about it to go on 19" LM's, i like the look of your car!

[Wrath]

Hmm, I see, this polished edge makes the spokes really tight against the caliper, ET is 45 so without spacers for say 15mm they will touch the caliper

I was thinking of buying these:



19" RS6 or mk1,2 are hard to get hold of here in Sweden, and that rim in the Picture is dead cheap with some quite good quality to it
like 135-140£ each

Car is finished, have done the 4-wheel alignment, refilled the ac system, bleeded the brakes and bleeded the cooler. Going to remap it tomorrow and have it MOT tested. Have just washed it as it had 2 year of dust on it, looks quite good but needs a good polish, the car feels real good with a new chassie but the MOT will give me a receipt how even the brakes is, don´t know if I have a little air still in the system as it pulls a little to the right when I brake hard and let go of the wheel , could be the width of the tyres and spacers as the roads aint 100% straight

[Vorsprung durch Technik]

Excellent news wrath.Looking forward to some fresh pictures of a newly waxed car.

[Wrath]

Had to reinstall OEM turbo thue to smokey turbo, Albert to the rescue, new turbo on the way... No gen2 but better with a gen1 k26/k27 than OEM

[macspring]

Any updates ?

Thanks either way.

Mac:

No not at the moment, bought a house in October so all the time went there
So The car is in winter storage, but will do this in the summer:

New springs (changing Eibach to H&R)
Change rear bumper rubber for rear shocks
Install the new turbo
Change seal to sun roof
Realigning the windowframes om the front doors and changing tweeters in The doors.
(Have done quite à speaker install but tweeters are à little weak)
Remap

And then just enyoing the car, have plans for some better brake servo then the bomb and maybe changing bushings for the controlarms and farb to Albert design...
