From A4 (B6) to RS4 (B7)

[Billi]

Hi!
Just wanted to post some pictures of my B6 to B7 conversion:)
The car is a 2004 A4 1,9TDi Quattro.
It started about a year ago when a friend of mine told me about a new RS4 interior. Bought that, and then there was no stopping!
I will let the pictures talk:

[BsixSfour]

Nice..... Are you keeping the 1.9 engine though?

[Billi]

this is the build so far...
Now I'm off to install my KW suspension and new brakes.. Hope they will fit:)

If someone has ever installed (successfully) the RS4 steering wheel on a B6 A4, I would like to know it will work.
Do not want to order it before I am sure about the airbag issue...[drive]

[AHB900]

wow amazing

[Billi]

Nice..... Are you keeping the 1.9 engine though?

But of course!
It's a high performance mashine so I have to fill it up with diesel!! :)

[Anthony]

Pretty damn crazy. Although, if you're keeping the same engine perhaps I should move this to the B6 A4 Forum...or wait, would it be the B7 A4 Forum... [>_<]

[wat2022]

why not just buy one, looks like u have dropped a grip on parts

[TonyD]

Wow. Awesome build man! That takes guts and some money to pull off!

[Billi]

why not just buy one, looks like u have dropped a grip on parts

You have not seen the prices for these type of cars in Norway have you:)
A used one would cost about 220000 dollars!!!

[Eddie Man]

But of course!
It's a high performance mashine so I have to fill it up with diesel!! :)Wowza, what a project !!!
Can't wait to see the final shots.

Questions: What do you have planned for the exhaust? Perhaps your stock exhaust w/just the RS4 Oval tips transfered.
That's a pretty unique color choice. Is that an Audi OEM color that is available in the Norway? Or just your creation.
It looks great either way.

[JMG]

wow, that's pretty amazing! Looking forward to seeing the final product, but one of your pics got me thinking... how sick would it look if you kept it matte black?

[$4c@b]

sick build!

is it common in Norway to do such an extreme transformation or are your friends equally as impressed as we are?

[Alister]

Crazy stuff!!!

Look forward to seeing the finished product.

[zbrock06]

i wonder the amount of money that was spent [hail]

[cellg8]

Like what others said...that IS AMAZING! Can't wait to see the finished product!

[FastB7S4]

+1 to all of the above! I guess this is not your daily driver since you would be out a car for a while.

Those RS4 seats look more sporty/race car-like than the ones we have here. Ours are just the S4 Recaro's with RS4 lettering.

Also, you guys watch Nascar in Norway?

[whitevdub]

wow...thats all i have to say. this is turning out amazing, good question though. is it now a b7 or still a b6? haha

[FastB7S4]

Aside from the model year, my vote is that it's now a B7 since really, the exterior is the only difference.

[isb]

Wow - amazing project. [hail]

[Billi]

Wowza, what a project !!!

It looks great either way.

For exhaust I want a stainless stell type from Supersprint for TDi, but it will have to wait because of cashflow.. So for now I will install oval tips from Porsche...
Paint is part Chrysler, but with some custom touch:)
Thanks for your comment!

[Billi]

sick build!

We are all pretty sick over here! :) Must be the climate!
We have many nice cars over here that has been put plenty of hours into!
You should come over some time. (check out www.gatebil.com)

It is my daily driver:) Started working on it April.25th! (exterior)
Hope to be finished soon..

I think the seats are more common in europe. They are very sporty. You need a crowbar to get out of them... not for old people!

I love nascar, and my friend too (his garage). I've only been to one race, but we can follow some races on Eurosport..

[DarkW!sh]

+100 points man thats a sick ass B6.5 and THE TDI factor is simply HOTT. its just america thats hattin on the Diesel

[i_eat_staples]

lol thats badass

we dont see many full-blown builds like these on the boards, keep up the work and keep us posted!

[zachf88]

interesting..... but nascar[down]

[MOFSTEEL]

A complete waste of time and money. [down][down]

[RAudi Driver]

I love this thread. Can't wait to see the final project. Total Kudo's to you for taking on such a project. Don't mind Mofsteel, he's just jealous cause his car is so plain jane looking.http://tools.digeratimarketing.co.uk/content/lb/smile/scared/scared0016.gif (http://www.mysmiley.net)

[ngng]

looks good. for the money, why did you put RS4 brakes on? why not an aftermarket set? are tehy going to paint the engine bay, inside fender wells, etc?

[zachf88]

what trunk lip-spoiler is that?? I'm interested in seeing more pics!

[JoeM]

Nice build man, lots of dedication to that.

[srsly]

I thought you bought an RS4 I was gonna say congrats

[bklein8888]

fantastic pictures! i cannot imagine like so many others how much you must have spent! hopefully you have a friend with a body/paint shop! amazing transformation...can't wait to see the final result!

[DGS4]

Only in Europe do these crazy chop weld and full rebuild exists. Its sick and im loving it, Although it must have cost ALOT to do the full body conversion.

Theres another sick B6 Avant build in the Avant forum, where a guy did a full strip down of his car and wide bodied it. I was following that one, now theres two to keep an eye out for.

Sickness.

Weeeell, It's not as bad as you would think.... the hourly labour cost in bodyshops here is about $150-165, but when we to all the work on the car ourselves, it's not to bnad. Billi's doing all the mechanics, and I'm doing the bodywork[:)]

Here are som of the cars we've done in the past:

[nealRlett]

That's the craziest thing I have every seen! More power to you. No pun intended. Why did you not order the titanium mirrors as well? Or are you matching them to the color of the car? Love the Nascar banner, great touch. I am very interested on how much you paid for the brake conversion? Are you going to make a post with part numbers? or would that take as long as building this project? [:)]

[DGS4]

Awesome. Since you have the TDI, I would do a veggie oil conversion and do some engine work, so you can haul ass on old chicken wing grease for basically fuel free costs. That would make me drool all day long.

BTW. I love the Volvo. That thing is delicious !

[CONTROL TWO]

gotta be a disappointment when you jump in your awesome RS4 and it sounds like an A4 tho..

[Buddyracing]

What color is that?


Some Chrysler color with a touch of custom.

[Buddyracing]

Modified E36 M3

[Buddyracing]

gotta be a disappointment when you jump in your awesome RS4 and it sounds like an A4 tho..

Probably is, but when you see the price of buying a RS4 over here, thing probably makes more sence...

1 US $ = 5,5 Norwegian Kroner...

this is a used car (http://www.finn.no/finn/car/object?finnkode=13421370&sid=xz4cbaITfSM534009&WT.svl=Link)

So thats $243454,-

[DGS4]

A used RS4 costs $243,454.54 What the fuck !?

[asurugger]

one ?...WHY!!!! I just dont get it.[confused]

[zachf88]

Modified E36 M3

how was it modified?? I really want 1!!!

[B18b1ex]

Looks good, and Audi did put out an A6 in a similar color.

BTW what ever you do, please do not slap a RS4 badge on it.

[AudinLV]

Amazing, so much work and effort and patience! [hail] Good Luck, post more pics. [up]

[quattro.it]

That is totally over the top crazy!! Please keep posting pics as it progresses.

[Louis J.]

Awesome project. Doesn't make much sense on this side of the pond but it's understandable why it would in Norway. Keep us posted on the progress.

[Billi]

What color is that?

It's a Chrysler color, mixed with some special stuff:)

[Billi]

Dont worry! Dont like badges, just the RS4 look:)

[cellg8]

Some Chrysler color with a touch of custom.

Looks like 350Z color to me...[cool]

[0302]

This is a great build and I love the color.

I would agree with a previous poster that said it is a B6.5

[oatmeal so good]

A complete waste of time and money. [down][down]

It isn't your time or your money. [down][down]


[hail] I need to see the car when done!

sick....on a side note somebody else already asked but I hope youre really puting an RS4 engine in there. Already a stock diesel engine is not the best sounding thing and imagine that kind of engine in an RS4(Clone). What makes the RS4 an RS4 IMO is the engine.Keep us posted on the project looks good so far

I live in norway. if i were to put in an rs4 engine i would have to be a millionare!!
the reason why i'm doing this is to have a car that looks nice. it is going to be my daily driver, so i also need something that i can afford to drive to work everyday. diesel / gas prices over here are also twice as much as you pay.
and another thing: if i wanted to swap engine, i would go for something a little more special, like an 4.0 v8 tdi! i think that would give me lots more torq:)

It's ok that everyone has their own opinion, but this is my build and i'm doing what's right for me.
(if someone feels that this thread belongs someplace else, please feel free to move it.)

hell no keep this thread right here! this is very cool stuff, better than the 500th wheel picture post

You are already a millionaire my friend all these parts $$$, gallardo brakes(rs4)[wrench]. As for the gas I pay 1.62 a liter here. Im not knocking on your project body wise thumbs up I just meant to ice up the cake a nice engine that matches the $ already invested and youll be able to test these amazing brakes.Then again its your project no mine or ours... keep us posted I still like it.:)[up].

By the way when you will register the car and renew insurance will you have a hard time?

[B18b1ex]

It isn't your time or your money. [down][down]


[hail] I need to see the car when done!

I know this is a little off topic, but do you have any large pics of the rear of your car? I'd like too see how the four exhaust pipes look. You can Post in the B6 Pic sticky as not to further contaminate this thread.

Thanks
Sean

1,62 is cheap!!!
Just calculated our price: 2,63 dollar per litre! Diesel is close to the same, but they use half as much...
I will settle for bodymods now. maybe after i'm finished with my garage and the rest on my house, I will look for a new engine:)

I just came back from Trinidad today and I could not believe the price of gas there, premium there is $2.70/L and the exchange rate is 6 to 1, so a gallon is $1.70USD. Their leaded gas which most use as there doesn't seem to be any emission std's is $1.50/L is $0.94USD. I also noticed there were a lot more Audis there than I expected to see, TT's, Q7's, B6 and B7 A4'S AND A3's, also the A3 gets a 1.6L and both the b6 and b7 a4 has a 1.8t in them.

[Kievskiy]

i @ucking hate haters.....keep up the good work! This project is sick :)

[aaaudiprotein]

WOW Sick!!!

If someone has ever installed (successfully) the RS4 steering wheel on a B6 A4, I would like to know it will work.
Do not want to order it before I am sure about the airbag issue...

Also try to contact Derleicaman these guys will help you out.

[DGS4]

Bump. Any updates yet?

[Billi]

Bump. Any updates yet?

sorry, I'm having some trouble fitting the rear breaks...
the bracket for the rear calipper does not line up with the disks when you have a 1,9TDi car.. If anybody wonders:)
The spindes are now at a friend of mine for a little mashining!
..and I'm waiting for a few parts from germany. They will be in on monday I hope.

More updates will come if they good people at Audizine still wants me in the RS4 forum:) hahaha

[RS4Limo]

We got some new parts in today, as well as the tinted windows. Still missing some small, but important parts....[:(] Had to put on the front bumper today, just to get a view of what to come....

Whatever you do, thanks for the eye candy. Work was much better today thanks to this thread [:D]

Amazing transformation. acutally this is more than a transformation.
Nice work man. Hard earned money spent on the right thing.
Love that transformed widebody B5, damn, one of my favorite audi of all time.

I am surprised to see NASCAR in a Norway body shop, lol

[EuroB6]

dont you guys have any tuner shows there..they should've done a show on your car and record the progress of it and then air it on TV..then put it on youtube or something, so we can all watch..this is just amazing..im speechless..the color is NICE!

[evilb]

I have an idea... when you're done with this project, let's race, then compare receipts [headbang]

Why put RS4 wheels on there? Some spinnaz would be much more fitting to with the gold paint job. Do you have any matching "crown" air fresheners for your dash and rear decklid? Fuzzy dice?

Ok, I'll stop...

Intense project. Props for taking it on. But really... why? Because you can? Terrible answer.

[jdmnomore]

Sir lets keep the hate to a minumum please. The guy already explained why. Does that mean it makes sense, the word opinion comes to mind. I cant quite see the point myself however thats one hell of a body kit.

Because we can. And because a prorper RS4 is $250000 - used.

And about the color. its from a 1981 Chrysler [:)]

I guess we should have done avus silver to match the rest of the 5000000000 Audis with that color [;)] But seriously, thanks for caring.

[Billi]

Standard RS4 rear brakes in the rear.
you cab see the frontseats on the first page... more pictures will come:)

[PRY4SNO]

Must say that's one Hell of an ambitious project and with the TDI it'll be nothing if not unique. I've considered doing a (1.9L VW) TDI swap but it'd be murder with the labour.

Not a fan of the colour (would have picked a green, or flat/matte black myself) but one can't overestimate the whole project's originality factor.

[up] x 10

[RAVI]

amazing dude.. just saw this thread.. fucking amazing! your car would look like with some more carbon fiber accents.. roof spoiler, chin spoiler..

[dtm4me]

Very, very nice work. I applaud you and your efforts! Looking forward to seeing the finished product.

[RAudi Driver]

It's only $4,500 USD for the body kit. It's really not that bad considering that an exhaust for the RS4 costs $5,000.

[MTLA4]

I should have bought my wreck(thanks drunker)from the insurance company and do so LOL....but looking at this

OUCCCHH harsh...

[Billi]

It's only $4,500 USD for the body kit. It's really not that bad considering that an exhaust for the RS4 costs $5,000.

I can promiss you that I would not get far with 4500usd when turning a B6 into RS4 B7! The first order I did from germany has dealer price here in norway at about 34500usd! I pay alot less, but still there are a lot of parts into this project!
If i had an A4 B7 I wouldn't have to change the front doors, any of the lamps, hood, and many more parts..

[NewImageS4]

Because we can. And because a prorper RS4 is $250000 - used.

And about the color. its from a 1981 Chrysler [:)]

I guess we should have done avus silver to match the rest of the 5000000000 Audis with that color [;)] But seriously, thanks for caring.

$250,000 for an RS4, eh? Amazing.

There's a big reason why Audi has colors like Avus silver, and not metallic gold: Because Audi might sell one of them in gold... maybe two [evilsmile]

To each his own... but converting a B6 to B7 alone seems ridiculous, especially on such a lowly powertrain, let alone the same powertrain with an RS4 body.

This is a message forum... on the internet... everybody on here isn't going to tell you how awesome this project is. Such is life.

[CaptDistraction]

Awesome project guys.

Most of the mods we do, are born of big things like this.

[doublezero30]

wow this project is nuts. if i had the money/tools/know-how to do something like this i totally would. im not saying ide do exactly this, but something just as unique.

question: how easily did the sideskirts bolt on? any modifications have to be made? i think those things look nasty.

[|FYASKO|]

got any updated shots? [:D]

I see no reason for you to comment in this thread just to say bad things about this guys work. I'm sure your comments don't phase him at all... but you have no reason to hate on this guys work. He has better reasons for his conversion then your reasons for negatively criticizing him.

Good job man that looks stunning. Definitely some amazing work.

[thenicholsterr]

People will think that you put a B6 diesel engine into a RS4 and not the other way lol

[s4ck]

It's hard to believe you couldnt find a used or damaged rs4 for around the same price this is costing you when it's all said and done. Plus an rs4 title would come in handy when you want to sell. Very classy looking car.

[aaaudiprotein]

A lot of us dont understand (forget) that Europeans pay way more for the cars than we do. I remember when b7 s4 DTM pkg came out, that was like 100K+ in Moscow.

[Rippin]

Don't mind the haters. Props to the tremendous amount of effort you're putting into your project. [up]

The used RS4's cost a lot of money there (Like $200,000) and who the hell wants a damaged RS4?

you didnt answer my question though! maybe you didnt see it...

did the sideskirts fit the b6 body fine or were there any other modifications you had to make to get them to fit?? thanks!

No mods for fitting the sideskirts other than having the rs4 fenders..

[bloodstar57]

nice job Billi looks great.
Quick question, Say i have a B6 what would i need to do to get a B7 front on it besides the fenders, head lights, hood and bumper cover?

I dont know the name in english, but the thing that holds the radiators...
you need all the doors and the rear fenders...
and there are ALOT of small pieces that are different. too much to list

[swoyekr.]

That really does look amazing, in contrast to my original post which pointed out that it was a waste of money, which still holds .

Looks really good though!

Well i would just do the front of the car. would i need new door just for the front

[RAudi Driver]

Tell me it's the camera angle or something, but it appears that the rear passenger side wheel sits in way more than the rear driver's side.

[dave405nyc]

this is great work!! just one question tho, how come you didnt trade in your b6 for a b7 a4 and then do the work? in that case you can save a lot of money since a lot more of the parts are similar

[RS4Limo]

What parts?

[dave405nyc]

front/rear lights, hood, nav, etc..

[RS4Limo]

front/rear lights, hood, nav, etc..

That probably would not save enough money to justify the swap...

Also RS4 hood is aluminium, and headlights are bi-xenon.

[mxp]

interior shots? wicked work bro

Be verry carefull with what you say on diesels
TDI's can be verry powerfull
much torque on low rpm=can kick ass

If he does a custom mapping and bigger turbo's on his 1.9=same engine as i have it can do a 180hp with over 450 torque no doubt

I do understand what you say,it would be like:wow an rs4 untill he starts up
But it still is a wicked project!

congrat's!!!!!!!!!!

wow... awesome work. Can't argue with the results, it looks great. Just don't put an RS4 badge on it. :P

Hi!
Just wanted to post some pictures of my B6 to B7 conversion:)
The car is a 2005 A4 1,9TDi Quattro.
It started about a year ago when a friend of mine told me about a new RS4 interior. Bought that, and then there was no stopping!

well done, and worthy project... albeit costly and time consuming... i did similar project last year with b5 s4 to b5 rs4 conversion (body and stgIII+) and the results were worth the time and energy spent on the project... i hope you have similar results if not better... car looks great!

[akaEsCo01]

That is one of the sickest colors I have ever seen. You are THE MAN. If I could, I would nominate you for feature car of the month.

[tike0rz]

I like it.

[|FYASKO|]

wow nice job
interesting choice of color but post some more pics of the exterior and interior
and do you have any other mods planned?

[yoogene83]

Bill (from Norway) I sent you a PM, please check your box when you get a chance. I have a B7 S4 Avant in Germany and am looking to covert it to RS4.

[Rco87]

Here are som of the cars we've done in the past:

check out http://www.fredriksenbil.no

Hee, first of all, i have respect for the work you've done turning the B6 into a B7. But the real reason i've registered and quoted you is because of the VW T3 you have shown here. Do you have more infoz about it, pictures or a related forum where i can see the progression you've made on it?

Really love the car.

Ciao.

ps., keep up the good work.

I have no buildthread, because I did this car in 1 1/2 week....[:d]

It's converted to 1,9 110 HP TDI...

[ewytt]

at the end of the day, it is still a 5 year old diesel A4

[Rippin]

[iconoclast]

thats like saying 'at the end of the day your mom is just a 60 yr old woman...' way to take something and break it down to its simplest form.

[gunxit]

Lookwise, thats the baddest RS4 I've seen so far [up][hail]

[nadroj81]

Sweet transformation. A great way to get the look you want at a reasonable price. I know cars in norway are super expensive. Even going out to dinner is super expensive.

People from the US that have never been to europe do not know how much cars and gas costs.

If you see a 911 turbo in norway, everyone pretty much stops and stares with jaws dropped. very rare to see nice cars.

[bassed]

I'm on the fence about this one guys.

On one hand, its a B6 A4 with some odd body work. Which is bad.

On the other hand, it looks identical to a B7 RS4. Which is cool.

It slightly reminds me of the Civics that upgrade to IS300 tail lights, or RSX headlights....sigh.

If you weren't meant to own an RS4 because it costs so much, then thats life. I do credit you for jumping right into this project and getting it done quickly. I would not do it to my A4 though if I had the funds.

STFU you're clueless!

My hat is off to you for doing this project! You have one of the most, if not the most unique Audi A4/RS4 diesel's in the entire world! I like the way it looks because you have been faithful to the lines of the RS4. No one should care that it is not an original RS4 because you have created a car that is truly unique, yet completely familiar. I totally get the whole VAT, Norway cost of cars thing. People that don't just don't have a clue. Congratulations for completing this project. Who knows, you could probably start a tuner company in Europe from this car!

[s4ck]

Wow that car is sweet looking but shouldnt it be in the a4 forum? [:p]

Maybe it's just another problem with my firewall at work but, 99% of the pics say the photobucket bandwidth is exceeded. If that's just cuz of my comp then delete this post, but the pics that I can are amazing!

[craymond5]

amazing! love everything about the car! Love the color, reminds me of cinnabar coming from the vw scene. Forget the haters to many people on here are afraid to push the envelope past anything cookie cutter that goes beyond bolt-ons. I'm glad to see someone finally do something different as the b7 scene is completely stagnant with hardly any custom work done yet, even though technically this is a b6

[cellg8]

Simply Amazing... CONGRATS! Please reupload the pics to a different host..the ones hosted by Photobucket don't work...

Beautiful conversion, and magnificent color! It is inspiring.[up][up][up]
Please help me! I have been doing the same thing (for 5 months now! Getting OEM RS4 parts is a challenge?!?) with my Dolphin Grey B6 A4 1.8tQ >> RS4 conversion, with the exception of keeping my B6 hood, headlights and B6 Caractere front bumper, to give it a totally unique look. The car is back from the body shop, and now we're in the nightmare of buttoning it up. The B6 rear wiring harness connector does not adapt to the RS4 lighting requirements, and is causing us fits. [headbang] Have you gotten past this problem yet?
I have b6 wiring diagram, but cannot get the RS4 wiring diagram on-line?!? I am flying blind here, and need help before we make a serious mistake . . .
Please PM me or email to larry_stuart47@hotmail.com ASAP.

Hi!
Is your car a limosine?
If so, you will need this wireharness: 8E0971726A
And you also need the contacts that go onto the rear outer lights.
Then you will have to figure out what wire goes where on the outer lights. I just tried a couple of times and then it worked:)
THEN...I got a little confused trying to get the innerlights to work right. It was like the foglights was on.. The reason why is that the B7 only have 21w bulbs on all the light-functions, but the B6 uses 5w on some.
Good luck:) please send pictures.

[biglar913]

I sent this to Billi, and I really need some advice. The B6 A4 taillight connector is 6-pins, and the RS4 is 5-pins, with two more for the trunk-mounted taillights. Doing the wire tests, connecting one bulb disconnects others, and causes blinking dash lights, too. H E L P P L E A S E . See contact information below.

Thanks, Billi,
Yes mine is a limousine (sedan). Your car is beautiful and well done. I will order the wire harness tomorrow! Whew!
I just got a Deval Carbon Fiber Splitter, from EuroGearUSA, and it is a nice piece. Much thicker than the Kerscher splitter, and nice clear-coat finish. It will look awesome under my B6 Caractere bumper, with the B6 front end blended to the RS4 front fenders. I also put a Turner Motorsport E46 M3 Carbon Fiber racing trunk lid spoiler, and it looks good on the RS4 trunk. I have a 1.8tQ6M, with crazy mods on it. I have 273 whp and 278 lb/ft TQ from APR Stage 3+, APR header and complete exhaust, FMIC, as well as Stasis Ohlins Coilovers, Stasis Alcon BBK (14" 4-pot front, 12.5" vented disc rear), Stasis 40% f/60%r Center Diff, Stasis Limited Slip Rear Diff, ported/polished/flowed intake manifold & throttle body with 75-shot Nitrous fogger to be installed and then a new dyno and ECU re-mapping. I have two-tone leather interior (Denim Grey/Ebony), JHM shifter, Eclipse AVN5495 nav system with Bluetooth, Sirius, iPod, rear-view camera, 30 GB Hard Drive, Rockford Fosgate and boxed 2x10" Subs, and all speaker upgrades. My car will be a show car, which is a shame not to be able to utilize all the performance components, but I am still tempted to track it occasionally (SCCA autocross, or track days here in South Florida. Look for a feature in EuroTuner, European Car, etc. sometime. I will keep you posted. I tried to post pics, but the files are too big, and I need help zipping them to create a gallery, like your build-up gallery.
Thanks again,
Best regards,

Looks good, to really make this more than just an A4 to RS4 project, I would do a 2.7t swap. Mod the hell of out of it and make the real RS4 guys cry with nice blow-off sound.

i just had to register and tell you how awsome i think your project worked out
and i completely understand your reasoning.
i was in israel this summer and a new rs4 would probably cost between 200-300k
unreal how they get taxed, but thats how it works
so enjoy your sick looking car with good gas economy [up]

My garage is full of RS4 body parts that waits to get installed on my A4 8H 1.8TQ cabrio . I am waiting for the 2.7TT engine to get built and then start on the body parts, since I want to install them the some time.. I am glad that some else has already done this conversion.. I have so many questions to ask you. I will send a pm...

[VZWalex]

dude ... I really mean this ... I have nothing but Respect for you and your project. Seriously ... and the color ... GREAT CHoice!! I am inspired.

nice car, its been a few builds like these in norway lately. Due to the fact that cars are shit expensive over here. I paid 35k $ for my -01 B6 88km on it, no Sline, No Quattro, No bose, No cruise or drive computert. A car with all that equip is easly 50 grand.

I don't mind you asking at all, but I dont have an answer for you:)
It helps that I work with VW/Audi parts:)

The normal price for most of the parts(NOT all) at a dealer in Norway is about 35k dollar. Then you have to put all the parts on the car and paint it:)

[member]

congrats on a job well done, i think it puts some rs4's to shame in the looks department

[raartoot]

Wow, Very interesting, hats off to you!!
Im not a hater etc but The Build is amazing, the colour is disgusting.
I dont get it though, what made you decide to do this?

Why didnt you just Import one from here in the UK because I know you said you wanted something fuel friendly but Im guessing by the massive wedge you spent on this, money aint the main Issue!!!!

Im not bashing you on it at all as I stand by what I say that you have pulled of some ridiculously amazing work and looks bloody brilliant....

We have a Silver RS4 Rep here in the Uk and its like someone said on here already, its like they have taken the RS4 engine out and slapped in a 2.0T. Its silver and looks identical to the real thing.Amazing.

I wouldnt have spent all that on the Brakes though, You dont need them do you and you say you have no plans for the full RS4 engine swap.

Well done mate, Defo would have picked a Better colour though!

Take a Look at this one, another from the Guys who did the Silver one!!

I would have bought a stock RS4 if I could afford one!
But look at the prices as I have stated before! And I like doing something different.
Look at this:

1,339,000nok = 165300 euro / 257500dollar!

[B6_Rakete]

What a monumental waste of money. Why not just buy and RS4 and be done with it?

WHAT is your problem!???
Cant you read?

[dchan189]

Read before you post. Dude, congrats. Color looks sick. everything looks sick. Can we see some more interior shots, engine bay shots, and everything in between!? GREAT CAR

[ngng]

only thing I'd change is the headlight film

Holy crap...

I love America!

70K (and cheaper if you find a deal) for brand new...

[CanuckRS4]

Your car is what this forum is all about...and you've even taken it to another level where us mere mortals dare not venture.
Big kudos to you man, love the ride! Awesome colour with the titanium trim/wheels and yellow tint on headlights..very unique.
Just missing one more thing...make a YouTube vid for us all to see.
Someone in north america should try converting an RS4 sedan to Avant. Now THAT I would love to see!
Cheers

[nealRlett]

I love america too!
60 days till Vegas/SEMA today:)

Who's coming with me?

I will be there for part of the week.
Look for the Mechanix Wear Glove booth.
I don't think there is enough alcohol in Vegas
to last for the questions I have for you!

I will be looking for this guy right?

Yes, that would be me:)
The guy behind me is Paal - the man who did the bodymods! He will be there too.

59 days to go!

[RS4POWER]

Billi,

I got a reply today from recaro telling me they are contracted and cant sell those seats to end users. Anywhere else that you know I can try.

thanks for all your help

That's one ugly looking bimmer

[cellg8]

Wow...so you're shipping your car here to SEMA just to display? That's awesome!

[Billi]

Did I say that?
anyway, I'm not:) Would be fun, but sound dangerous and expencive..

OK, you just have to find a Recaro dealer then.
Here in Norway, Hella sells them..

[Siena]

Bill, I've gotta say, your car's simply amazing!

Someday, who knows? I may just drive down, once my engine's in place.

Keep up the good work, as for those who keep on about waste of money, blah-blah-blah - just ignore them!

Envy's a bad thing.

[nealRlett]

agreed! Getting a car inside the SEMA show is the biggest pain in the ass ever. The car has to be entered WAAAAY in advance, not to mention all the paperwork and $$$$. Esp. from Norway!

[B7Lee]

I don't mind you asking at all, but I dont have an answer for you:)
It helps that I work with VW/Audi parts:)

The normal price for most of the parts(NOT all) at a dealer in Norway is about 35k dollar. Then you have to put all the parts on the car and paint it:)


Wow.... my hours reading this thread was like watching a full feature porn (A lot of HOT with very distasteful acting)... Thanks for the entertainment, LULLL. BYTHEWAY. BILLI'S above statement is why he is a wolf among sheep (when it comes to modding/changing chassis), you would be pretty [confused] to conduct such a project at market prices...

Nice work! go TDI!

p.s. got any factory discounts on a s4 rear lip spoiler?? or maybe a job in vw/audi parts? [:p]

[Fizikal S4Avant]

It all came together!!! Very nice ride.

[xPaulBaileyx]

Very cool!
Mad respect for all that effort

[Doctor]

Very nice man, good job to say the least...
Leave all the haters to do their own job...
They know damn well how hard it is to pull something out the way you did...
So certainly thumbs up from me from Greece...

PS: If there is any additional info or photos of the A3 from the show I'd be glad...

Cheers :)

[FPBBrandon]

Epic.

[LAS]

thank you for coming to our forum and sharing your project. great work!!!

[toneloc]

there is enough hate in this world..billi u and ur team are 1 of 1..thankS for thinking and showing the rest of us how to do what we like n enjoy what we do....INDIVIDUALITY is what makes us who we are..

[sakimano]

Bill,
You're nuts! Looks real cool though. Congrats on completing the biggest mod I've ever seen.
Cheers

Holy hell that is purty!!! Amazing work!!!!

[KarimS3]

wow again! beautiful car, love that color

[docurley]

Wow what great work and I never knew the B6 had so much in common with the B7 that you could do this.

Amazing work.

[mitchholmstrom]

Man everything looks super clean and brand new, love the change bro, beautiful!

[enigma1406]

Brilliant project. How expensive would it be to put the 2.7TT from a B5 S4 in to that chassis? That would be one way to get the go up to par with the looks.

Either way, love the look and everything about it.
