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:

more....






starting the build:

[Billi]

Off to paint!


at first I was unsure...


NOW I love it!


some wiring to do:


yesterday:

[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...

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

[AHB900]

wow amazing

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.

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!

[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...

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!!!

[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?

[My OOOO My]

I think you made a mistake...... that's FOUR ZERO's.

Did you mean, $22,000 or $220,000 ???

If a Nissan 350Z can cost 165,000$ over there......

He actually meant 220000. The car is 65-70k here and ridiculously expensive in Norway and that's why he did this instead of buying one!

In Turkey,

My car is 25.000 $ right now, it has nothing and its 2003 year model.. I believe in US, you can buy an S4 there with that money.. ?

A b7 RS4 is like 200.000 $ .. So some of you guys who are telling " why did not you just buy an rs4" is invalid here and in some of the other countries..

Oh I forgot to mention about the taxes; over 3.0 litre engines, you start to pay 7.000 $ per year, in a brand new RS4 it will hit up to 11.000 $ ..

So cheers there

no mistake! 220.000 dollar!

[Renga]

Nice build!

$220,000 that´s sick!

A 2007 RS4 35000 km = $57,500 in Sweden...

[20vturbo]

no mistake! 220.000 dollar!

us dollar?? they go for 60000$ canadian here..Should ship a whole container there

[TonyD]

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

[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.

[Billi]

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)

[zbrock06]

i wonder the amount of money that was spent

[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?

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..

[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

[MOFSTEEL]

A complete waste of time and money.

[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.

[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

[wat2022]

Billi I see your point, it looks great!!

[Billi]
