Justin's B6 Race Car Build Thread - Do I Belong Here?

[0000 V8]

Hello AZ friends. My name is Justin aka 0000 V8 and some of you may already know me or have seen this car. This has been a project in the making for 3 years. I purchased my S4 back in 2009 with the intent of one day making it a track car. The S4 has always been my favorite car, and I realize there are cheaper and more "track suited" cars out there, but Im not into the cookie cutter cars. I wanted something I could really be proud of. I wanted a challenge. What better way to do that than make a luxury sport sedan into a full track bred beast.

Long story short, after the initial build and 1.5 years, the car awesome on the track but I ran into some engine troubles with the stock BHF V8. I wanted to swap in an 07K I-5 but realized it would take a while, so I decided to BUILD ANOTHER RACE CAR with a B5 A4 chassis. That project has been hugely successful and we are currently in 1st place in the Western Endurance Racing Championship series, and 1st place among numerous German Touring Series regions across the western US of NASA.

I eventually opted for a 1.8T motor swap over the 07K after a perfect motor fell into my lap from Max Stanton and much conversation with 034Motorsport about their Time Attack A4 1.8T.

I feel like a black sheep, not really belonging in the B6 S4 forum, so maybe you guys can take me in?

Here is some info about the car. The chassis is already finished and 98% of these parts are already on the car. Im mostly finishing up the motor swap in the next couple of months and have a few parts yet to install.

The car will be raced in the German Touring Series, Super Touring, and eventually the Western Endurance Racing Championship series.

Agreed. I really like Mikes car. Is he still on AZ? Haven't seen anything about his build in a couple of years.

[WB650]

LOL my name is Justin as well and was like "wait, i have a race car build?!"

[captainsweet13]

Christ on sale!! Awesome build man. Hopefully I'll have a build like this one day.

You have my respect and then some. ha

[A4SoftWalker]

You seem really into your new build. Congratulations!!!
Your parts list is super.

Save your money and buy parts from JHM, MJM Autohaus, 034, Integrated Engineering etc...
DON'T build your car @034 or have them wrench on your pride and joy.

PM me for details.

He's still around, he posted an opportunity for a heated windshield product run that was reasonably priced a little while back..

I don't do JHM. I have a good relationship with IE, and an even better relationship with 034.

I do all my own work including custom stuff, unless it's welding something for safety like the cage or steering rack. I do weld brackets and misc things though.

REAL RACEKOR! this is awesome

Here are som old videos of one of the first track days when I still had the V8 in it, and other vids from the first build. I will post a video of the inside after this weekend for you though.

To be clear, the car has never been driven with the built 2L.

How much does the car weigh?

[0000 V8]

How much does the car weigh?

I have not weighed it with the new motor. I'll do that once the car is near complete.

[melomandn]

This is awesome

[Furly]

very nice! i definitely can respect the work and time and $$ into it.

[UroTuning]

Wow! The car looks great!

[AudiA4_20T]

I think you'll fit in just fine, maybe more than the other forums. Still gotta check this beast out @ Sonoma!

[slark]

The flyby video sounds so good. Car is awesome.

[Audi body]

Absolutely beautiful!!

[Spike00513]

maybe you guys can take me in?

[brady.]

awesome thread :) subscribed.

[csosnowski]

Looks great! I cant wait to see your progress!

[0000 V8]

We got a lot done this weekend. Started on the engine harness for the 034EFI IIc, installed fuel rail, injectors, and mocked up timing belt and Fluidampr harmonic balancer.

We also finished gutting the OEM harness and removed the OEM steering column which will not be reused. I have an electric power steering column from a Saturn that will be fabricated to fit. We removed at least another 125lbs from the car today.

Now we will spend the next few days prepping the car for a full pressure wash inside and out. We will pull the motor for the final time (to allow room to reroute custom brake lines for the Tilton pedal box, remove false firewall, work on custom shifter, etc), clean the inside and remove the rest of the fueling components at the back, and clean clean clean to prep for a full interior paint. Then we can FINALLY start reinstalling stuff permanently.

Theres going to be a lot of custom stuff coming up in the next few weeks. Stay tuned.
