Its Wednesday! Not that there ever needs to be a reason for a wagon! Much less a 5 cylinder turbo with a proper gear box.

Also these are the first intentional rollers Ive ever had taken of my car(s*)

Top was taken while on the Tappan Zee Bridge, and the bottom one is driving back on the Merritt Parkway after Caffeine & Carburetors this passed Sunday. Great show, met some cool peoples!

*I still miss my B5 S4 Avant, but this tank(3.9k lbs) of an S6 has been driving like a champ since I reworked the suspension, as well as poly mounts and bushings. Next is exhaust work!

Awsome!...except for the bottom one! My positive camber is showing! LOL That has since been fixed. Thank you so much for sharing though! I rarely find any pics of my car. Also She looks pretty decent from this distance!

Sell it to me, please please please!? Lifetime keeper car, right there, in those colors.

Also, does this exhaust work entail a straight pipe? Because that is the only way the car can properly play the song of its people. ;)

Haha yes! I’m going to be using the milltek exhaust from the last car (it was already straight piped) but I want to add dumps right after it comes down on either side of the transmission.

This is for 2 reasons;

1.) millteks arent the loudest, just refined and deep.

2.) I want to improve spool up! AND MOAR SOUND! Plus when I go bigger, turbo wise, I plain on creating a 2 step/anti lag profile that would take huge advantage of the cutouts. Also it’ll look cool to see the flames from either side of the car just behind the front wheels!

Hero status: Confirmed. And I’m serious, if you ever want to sell that car, I’ll buy it.

HAHA! Thanks, but you might be waiting a while! In the meantime if you happen upon one dont hesitate to buy, these cars a super easy to work on, and performance goodies arent that expensive! (coming from the B5 S4, take that with a grain of salt maybe) Also the seats are crazy comfortable. This car has been my best purchase to date! Only paid $5.2k(?!?), and It was already decently(maturely) modified.

I generally dislike Audis and VWs but something about early 90s Audis does it for me.

I would say that to most of the german cars from the late 80s and 90’s. Its something about the no nonsense approach to transportation that existed, now everything is a gimmick..

Wow, what a deal. I’ve worked on and driven a couple, that’s why I love them so much. Someday I’ll have one, but it’s hard to find them in unbeaten condition, and they all seem to have well past 200k on them.

Haha yea, Im at 265k. A good body is the hardest thing to find. (I feel) (also I feel we have had this conversation before)

Awesome ride man! Great height also, too many of those things getting stanced nowadays.

I’m a current B5 owner, but not a B5 S4 Avant for sure.

How did you get those plates? Haha.

ESSSIX GmbH - Accountant/Wagon Thumper > jkm7680
05/14/2015 at 09:13

Thanks! Its actually at stock height, Im just going to throw some springs on and call it a day. Right now the gap is pretty huge, but springs will bring it down enough to look a little sportier without getting close to that stanced line.

Yea, my B5 was my baby, she was strongly fitted too, only a stage 2+ but the suspension was worked to the max. It could eat miatas in the turns.

As for the plate I got it HERE

Nice! The drop really will really add to the look.

Can you legally run a Euro plate as long as it has the right plate number on it?

Technically as long as it coincides with whats on the registration etc, then its safe.... at least I’ve never been stopped before because of it. (also i read up on the law and it only talks about having 2, and that the match, and are visible etc..)

Nice! Still looks great, haha.
