Arrow Crisp's 2000 A6

Well heres the story of how my A6 with 194,000 miles on it, became pretty neat.
October 2011: My dad buys this 2.7t 6spd a6 as a daily
1 day later: The fuel pump goes out on it and it sits in the driveway broken for a week or so. My dad pays to get it fixed but it is coming up on a timing belt job.

November 2011:

I do the timing belt in my friends garage and get it done in a weekend.

December 2011:

My dad ordered some coil overs because stock suspension was too floaty for his liking.

Here's what it looked like when it was lowered 1.5 inches.

February 2012: As I drive the car more and more my dad offers to sell me the car and after mulling it over for a week or so I decide to buy it from him.

March 2012: Now that car is mine I decide to put a4 titanium pkg wheels on it

April 2012: I get some '02+ taillights for it.

Just yesterday I decide to put my deck lid spoiler on and de badge the back of it.

Heres what it looked like today out in the rain.


Hope you like the progress from what it was.

Love it.

What are the chances that you're from North East PA? Crossed a car with a similar setup, but it had one helluva loud *** exhaust setup (beautiful music to my ears).

Ebay, got it for 60 bucks but the mold isnt all that fantastic in the center so I drilled 3 holes in the deck lid and used some sealer and regular metal screws with a washer to get it to fit right.

LOVE THEM! It makes the car from a big floaty lifeless sedan to feeling like a real RS6 but even lower.

Put new brakes on her yesterday. Fresh rotors all the way around and my back calipers were stuck so they were actually on and thats why my rotors were warped and it didn't stop worth a sh*t.

Big Update!
I've only got a few pictures of the work but it's now got:
New KO-3 Turbos
XS Tuning catless downpipes 3"
Custom Tune in progress
New clutch (the one pictured is my old one with 200k on it)
Right now its just straight dump from the down pipe until my new resonators and rest of the piping comes. It is LOUD. And it backfires like a bawss on decel.

Okay so here is the finished product with the new exhaust and everything. The XS tuning people never ended up sending the exhaust so my dad was nice enough to let me use the stock RS6 exhaust.



RS6 Exhaust tucks up nice.




For some reason I don't have the other two pictures of the tips coming through.
