CJ's Stage 3 RS4+ Blueberry Build Thread

[CJ_]

So in honor of successfully pulling my motor last night, I think its time to start an official build thread. I know its not a crazy build, but I want to keep track of everything here and post incase of questions, recommendations, etc. (I already know theres going to be a lot.)



Background:
So I ended up with this car in a trade, I didn’t really know much about B5s at the time or Audis in general really. The moment I took it on the test drive, I was hooked. I loved pretty much everything about the car. The car was an APR Stage 2, it had 180k on the chassis when I got it, but was surprisingly clean. The owner claimed it had a newer motor with around 65k miles on it, but didn’t have any paperwork to prove it. I’ve never had any problems with it, thus the reason why I’m going Stage 3. So far since I’ve had it, I’ve only done maintenance stuff and a few small mods here and there.

My goals for this stage 3 is to keep it moderate and reliable. Im going to be doing quite a bit of highway driving over the next year or two, so I want to have something fun but reliable. Also, I want to clean and detail the shit out of everything. It bugs be to have dirt and road grime everywhere. My goal is to have a showroom worthy car, I know it may sound far fetched, but a lot of time is planned for detailing and cleaning. Anyways, on to some details and pics.

First things first, get rid of all that ugly plastidip:



RS4 bumper mod (I like the look of it, more subtle than a full RS4 front end.)



New wheels:



And how she’s been sitting for a while now:

Overall, the motor pull really wasn’t that bad. It was my first time pulling a motor, and it actually went really smooth. It was just a lot of checking over little things. Took us about 3-4 hours total. Forgot to start the go pro at the beginning, oh well..
