Circuit's 2013 Phantom Black Allroad Build Thread

[hardfive]

Mine are not that concave so I'd guess face two honestly don't know.

1010tires wheel fitment puts you at -1 mm clearance (8.5et 43 vs. 10et 25). Maybe the concavity makes a big difference. Just throwing some info out there for you. If I waited 6 months I would want them on asap but if its not a daily I get that too. GL.

Yeah that -1mm is only to the suspension, not to the calipers. Face design makes a much bigger difference than offset. Appreciate it!

Between tires, ceramic coating, another alignment, etc. I won't be throwing them on for a week or two after they arrive. Plenty of time to order spacers! Thanks for the heads up though!

Had a 2-stage correction and ceramic coating done for the Wekfest SJ car show this past weekend. Also borrowed my friends OEM 300L roof box for the show.

[Dusty Mauve]

Looks awesome with the box, Chris.
Get yourself one and paintmatch it!

[eljay]

That looks fantastic!!

Yeah paint match is a must! After the correction the difference between the Phantom Black on the car and gloss black box is insane!

That looks fantastic!!

Thank you!

Last set of shots before returning the box.

Prepping to finally install my OEM+ BBK this weekend

S6 400mm 6-piston fronts
Q7 356mm 4-piston rears
Tesla Model S e-brake
Voshmods brackets for the rear
Blank zimmermann rotors
Porsche Macan dust shields and air deflectors

Calipers are all powder coated as close to the OEM Ceramic finish as possible. Dust shields done in Satin Black





Also picked up a beat S4 Vorsteiner lip that will get refinished/cut to fit my front bumper.

[Dusty Mauve]

Excited to see those S6 calips on the car!

[Circuit]

Got everything installed this weekend. Now just need to bleed, bleed, and bleed!

[Dusty Mauve]

That looks so good!
Love that you did them in a silver/grey color.

Came across 2 separate pairs of Gram Lights on Facebook marketplace and decided I needed Japanese wheels on the car. Both pairs were 20x10, but one pair is +20 and the other +30. My fronts have always been more sunk than the rears, so I thought putting the +20 in the front would work out well.



I had the wheels redrilled from 5x114.3 (I think they were originally an R35 GTR front spec) to 5x112 and powder coated Volk Bronze. Center caps were refinished with bronze cerakote since they are plastic.






Went for some meaty fitment with 285/30/20 Firestone Indy 500s. Needed some fender shaving and a little more camber, but they tuck nicely!

[hardfive]

Fantastic. Obviously a ton of thought and care here.

Not to infer these are anything but great, but what happened to the te37's?

They're still on order. The update I got in March was Nov-Dec (ugh), but more recently I was told they're coming in the next month LOL. I wouldn't have bought these Gram Lights if they were coming so soon, but oh well haha.

Its been a very eventful couple months. Just moved from the SF Bay Area to Las Vegas, got covid, got well, then wife got covid. So car stuff has been moving really slow.

And just last week, these beauties arrived. Hello gorgeous!





Going to be converting to studs so I can run Project Kics lug nuts. Need to test fit to confirm brake clearance some time this week (its going to cool down to 100), and then decide on tires.

[Circuit]

Went out to Gears and Grinds out here in Vegas and met up with a couple other Avant owners





Did a test fit with the TEs. Need to order tires.

TE’s look great! Did you get them off the forum?

Thanks! I did not, bought them brand new and waited about 14 months.

[Circuit]

Ordered a new set of 275/30/20 Michelin Pilot Sport 4S! got them mounted and everything ceramic coated. Just waiting on a stud conversion to get the wheels on!

64mm Motorsport hardware studs - too long to for Project Kics lug nuts
44mm Motorsport hardware studs - too short for my liking and can't run a 3-5mm spacer in front. Can only get 7 turns when torquing down the lug nuts. Need 9 turns to get to 14mm of thread engagement
55mm 034Motorsport studs - bullet nose too long for Project Kics lug nuts
50mm H&R studs - on the way and should be just perfect!




Also picked up an OEM 300L roof box from Facebook marketplace. Its a little scuffed up, so I might either get it repainted, or wrap it something fun.

[jbain2]

Damn. Glad you didn’t get them off here. I was eyeing a set on here but ended up second in line. Would have had to send you hate mail had you been the swiper.

Anyway, everything you have done is on point! Keep up the good work!

TEs are on!

- H&R Quicksafe stud conversion (40mm length)
- Project Kics M14 lug nuts
- H&R 5mm front spacer

Question for you on the suspension. How did you decide on the dual compressor setup versus a single compressor? What size tank are you running? Getting ready to do this on my Q7.

Dual compressor for redundancy and speed of refill, and also that's what fits on the BecauseBags bracket. Tank is 5L IIRC, same reason -- its what fits on the bracket.

Went to Big SoCal Euro this past weekend. Some shots from my buddy Ray.

Met up with a local photographer to get some shots.

Looks amazing and great shots!!

How about we just swap our Allroads, so you can save me a whole bunch of work?! :)

Finally completed my OEM carbon atlas interior with the center console trim.




S4-style carbon steering wheel with Urus-style paddles and TobyCook Allroad badge. Only interior piece I am waiting for now is a carbon skinned MMI surround.





Switching rear brakes to Macan Turbo to simplify. Same size rotor/carrier as S6 rears (356mm), but the calipers have a cool cover plate. Powder coated S6 dust shields as well. Voshmods rear setup will be for sale once everything is swapped. Leaving red for now, but will do a full Acid Green caliper refresh front and rear, with 034's newly released 2-piece rotors.

Had my MMI surround done in matching carbon atlas by a local carbon fiber guy. Interior is mostly done, for now.




Quick snap while getting some tea. Not much done lately as I have been working on moving into our new home. Full brake overhaul ordered to knock out now that we're settled.

[Circuit]

Refinished the brakes over the last couple weeks.

Porsche Acid Green G2 paint
034 2-piece rotors
Macan Turbo front brake ducts (some trimming required to clear body at full lock)

Assuming the labeling is vinyl stickers? Did you clear coat over the stickers?

Yeap just vinyl. No clear over it.
