The timing belt decided to snap, which was a big surprise since it was supposed to be good for at least another 40k but oh well... James down at Sprint Auto Works had an allroad and I ended up shooting his car for Audizine and thats when I started the hunt to find one. His olympic blue is basically a carbon copy of what my allroad is now and I actually have a lot of parts from his since he is going stage 3+ plus right now so its down for a while. More on that later...
The day it died... I thought it was going to the junker but James convinced me and promised it would be an entirely NEW car when I got it back.
Then I was talked into this. 01E 6 Speed Swap. These boots are a pain in the ass to find... The trim plate is even harder.
That belt sure looks old... (VIDEO)
Out with the old.
Rebuilt heads from the timing belt failure.
034 Flywheel with RS4 Clutch. Bunch of 034 hoses, secondary air pump block off plates. Also installed 034's new track solid motor and trans mounts.
Rebuilt 01E Trans with new syncros. Also have the JHM/034 shifter and delrin knob, super nice.
The 034 catless downpipes before I put in James setup since they didnt line up right. Btw, not 034's fault, this shit is niche and just how it goes. Originally was going with 034 catless downpipes but since they are specifically made for the S4 they did not line up to mate with the stock exhaust. But I ended up going full custom anyways and James had 034 downpipes with cats which was the better choice anyways.
I ended up taking James system which was custom built by Rick from Synergy Motorsports, system is a work of art and sounds incredible!
Fixed cluster screen!
All back together! Btw, car does not have a check engine light or any other dash warning! I thought this would be impossible, but he said he could make it happen.

Audio sample, gonna have some better footage/audio soon. (VIDEO)
James also has a Sprint Auto Works/Because Bags Suspension kit that is direct plug and play with the oem management system, no longer feels like a couch in the corners!
Polished the headlights, so worth it! Also removed the amber.
Upgraded DV's, stock ones just couldnt hold the APR tunes boost.
Using it! Gotta figure out the exterior, paint is shit... Thankful the interior is SUPER clean. Hope to have more up soon on the car, still having a blast with the APR tuning. James and crew at Sprint Auto did a killer job on this and treated my car as there own. Zero short cuts taken and only the best parts used. I know Luke at Sprint did a lot of the work on it, doesnt look like a fun car to work on. HAHA. Ill gladly always bring my cars from San Francisco to San Jose to make sure its done right the first time.

). Probably a good thing I didn't see it, because I probably would have made a deal for it on the spot. Especially if he had put a 6-speed in it.
