    URS6 steering rod bushes

    Hi All

    Does anyone know if anybody offers a polly bush for the inside of the front track rods on the URS's? I've looked on AK and they dont seem to list anything.

    Powerflex have it for the V8 (D11). They are compatible with UrS steering rods. I presume that the C3 bushes will also work.

        Yeah, its Rs2 spec then a bit more, just put a set of AD08R's to try and keep my alive so its going nowhere!!

        Re the Bushes, thanks very much, ordered and paid for

        Next up is the apikol fmic kit from 034. I know figuring it all out myself will save £££ but i'm so busy that all i can see happen is it staying in a million pieces for the year OR the intake temps with the side mount melting something expensive

          The Apikol core is very thick (3.5 inches from memory) and almost certainly won't fit behind the Euro bumper. May be possible by removing AC and lots of messing/cutting/fabricating. The radiator would possibly move back towards the engine a little but you'd probably have to modify or make new mounts. Then the supplied pipes probably won't fit as the intercooler is designed to fit further forwards.

          Would be nice to see it done but I've a feeling that you might be the first. 034 Motorsport did used to sell a different FMIC kit to fit behind the Euro front bumper but I can't see this on their site anymore.

          Audi Original "S" Cars - Anyone fit an Apikol FMIC behind a Euro front bumper? - I know there's one lister running a Euro front/FMIC, but interested if anyone's managed to cram the Apikol in what's obviously less space, or even had both of them in hand and tried it. Search found the thread below, but again really want...

            Hmmmmmm

            Thanks Merlin for the input. I was trying to get a solution that meant the least time as i'm so busy i fear it will be sitting in pieces for longer than i want!

            Does anyone possibly have a list of bends/hoses/cooler etc that is fairly known to do the job?

              Can someone outline what is available for C4 S6 for rear frame and suspension - in poly and standard as some companies produce varous parts but there is no complete 'kit' anywhere.

              I am to do complete rear axle overhaul and am confused as to what is available for it.

              Thanks

                I'd agree with all of Merlin's comments.

                But very keen to see how you get on.

                This thread has some information that may help to some extent.

                It would be great to hear from anyone who did buy the Euro spec FMIC from 034 and to her how they got on with it ?

                    The only upgraded track bushings come
                    from power flex in the c3/v8q section. Not
                    even Albert makes them. I was trying to
                    get him to make fluro joint track rods for the
                    c4 but hasn't done anything regarding that
                    yet.

                    @HMS-s6-- The apikol FMIC won't work behind
                    Euro bumpers without major modification. 034
                    makes a fmic kit that fits behind euro bumpers.
                    They took it off their website but I've contacted
                    them a few months and said they can reproduce
                    the euro bumper fmic kit no problem. The only
                    downside to their kit is it can only support up to
                    400whp but you don't have to hack up the front
                    of your car.

                        Shouldn't be a problem for most of us mere mortals on here.

                          Are you sure, I thought that even the Euro version needed the front bumper to be hacked ?

                          Happy to be wrong, but I didn't think it was plug 'n play ?

                            When 034 had it listed on their website
                            they said they custom made it for a customer
                            with a urs6 & euro bumpers. They claim
                            no modifications needed. Just add the brackets
                            & bolt on. For more specific details contact Jeremy
                            or Javad over at 034.

                              It seems here:http://www.audizine.com/forum/showth...UrS6-Avant-***

                              Maybe a little cutting and trimming but
                              nothing that would mud up the nice looks
                              of your urS front end.
