Looks awesome, kinda agree that the wheels look too big in the first pic. May just be how its sitting at the front.

What are all the controls on the roof? They look cool! I know you say one is the boost controller and I can see one is a garage door blip, but what are the others?

Interior lights, map lights. His is different that most since it doesn't have sunroof controls. Losing the sunroof lowers the weight and the cg of the car nicely.

I have had my OEM RS4 front end sitting im my garage for months now. Just havent had time to tackle that project. Soon.

Im not sure how you did your S4 sides.....so I cont say if mine are the same or not.

I got the Euro rear used from a guy on AW. [:)]

TighTT

11-02-2007, 07:11 AM

do you have any number on that machine yet?

No numbers yet. The engine is still breaking in....Im only running 13 PSI right n ow...although it still huals major a$$. Once we break it in we have to do some high boost tuning. They we'll do some vids and dyno stuff. I want this to be perfect and Im not going to rush it at this point.

TighTT

11-02-2007, 07:14 AM

i think its an rs4 wheel....not 100% though

Its a B6 S-line wheel that has had the S-line badge removed and filled. Then was re-covered in perferated leather and custom stitched with white thread and runs a TT airbag. Feels great....I had them thicken the wheel.....its quite thick like an R32 wheel. [drive]

I scored them used from a guy on AW. He bought them brand new at Waterfest this year....so they are barely used. I got all 4 of them WITH nice-ass Vredestein tires for a less than the cost of 2 new LM's without rubber. [up][up] Score!

best all around vote x2.

-put a spacer on the rear wheels to match the front
-widebody.

EDIT: what shiftknob is that?

EDIT: what shiftknob is that?

I think the tails are OK. If they were the older style with the orange...i would agree with you.
As for spacers....these are 19x8.5 with a 32 offset running 235/35/19 tires....no more room!!! I think the lens I shot the pics with may have scewed the image a bit. I'll shoot a couple more with a narrower lens to bring thing back into perspective.
Widebody: Im on the hunt for a blown engine 2000 Avant. =)

The knob is a titanium UUC Rob Knob 2.

[:D] Thanks for the kind words.

I'd be hard pressed to give you a number because many of the parts were sponsored parts. It also depends who does the work, what you want done, etc. We took a couple of extra steps to ensure good drivability and longevity. For example; Alot of people think the wiggins clamps just look cool....but in reality they provide better sealing than any other clamp system on the market IMO. These were used throughout the entire turbo system. No leaks = less issues. Less issues = more fun driving [drive] and less time wrenching. [wrench]

Does sleepers do every aspect of Audi performance or just engine modification?

have you checked the prices on the wiggins clamps before? In your case, you can get all wiggins clamps, or an GTRS Eliminator for not much more...[wrench]

I think for the quality of work they put out they are right on spot with their price. JMO. They made me these SMIC's and price was great compared to HPA or Forge and a way better product with only .5psi drop at 20psi each. And he had them made in a day after I sent him the mock up stock 225 SMIC's since the tune Jeff Atwood put on the car exceeded the performance of those [:)]

Jamie is the man, the guy knows everything and when I stopped by he was most hospitable. The drive up to CT wore out a few hoses and I needed a hand for some tools and he helped me out there in the middle of his workday.

Rosati

11-04-2007, 05:03 PM

Compared to other "places" how much more can sleepers be? Lets think about this, any place that custom tunes and builds German autos to be monsters are going to be expensive.

All hes saying is that these guys are the cream of the crop on the east coast and I definitely agree after being in their garage for an afternoon and bullshitting w/ the guy. (especially after seeing 3-4 R32's Being turbo'd , etc.)

We all know that us seasoned audi guys arent going to be the first ones to bring our cars to one of these shops, we'd rather build them ourselves. But, if we are ever to change our minds and flip the bill, then Sleepers is the way to go. (on the east coast at least)

I think the easiest place to get wiggins from is Burns Stainless. As for an oil cooler...nope...Im running stock and thus far...have no issues. Im sure if I decide to road-race the car I would need a cooler but for now Im fine. As for a PS cooler....I have a simple tubular cooler installed....nothing special.

Well.....I placed an order for an S5. BUT....I did this without the informing my GF (of 5 years) first. I made sure my deposit is fully refundable and it looks like I may need to use that. Apparently "do whatever the f*ck you want" doesnt really mean I can do whatever I want. [:(] [down]

I feel your pain. If that's the case, then you should make it a point to say shit like "Damn, that's a really nice car. Shame I don't have one...Oh wait I ALMOST did!" every single fucking time you see one. Even if that requires driving her ass by the dealer every day of her life.

I dont think I am. [mad]

Hey...I can't complain. I own two really nice cars and Im very happy with them. My girl is very smart....unfortunately, smarter than me. So the old Spa and roses trick doesnt work.....atleast with buying a very expensive car.
