When I bought it











This car was purchased new from Continental Motors in Fairfield CT (now Audi Fairfield) on December 25, 1995 and was Delivered to it's owner a month later.
Upon Delivery, the following modification was done:
Part # NPN-RS2KIT
Description - Perf Mod Kit
Price $1192.50

This was a DEALER INSTALLED RS2 Exhaust manifold and Lehmann Stage 1 chips

This was verified by Hoppen Motorsports. They have receipts for a sale of this kit to Continental Motors in Late December 1995

Work done in the 6 months prior to my purchase
Control arms
Tie Rods
ignition coil
front brake kit
wheel bearings
timing belt
water pump
serp belts
new turbo gaskets
new radiator hoses
spark plugs
cylinder head dismantle/clean, new valve guides honed to size, pressure test, valve grind, valve guides, cylinde rhead resurface
new head gasket and bolt kit
new exhaust manifold studs
new battery
new CV joints and boots
new ball joints

Fuel pump and filter replaced in August of 06


Things it needs:
suspension (70k on OE replacements) DONE
wheels (I didn't buy the summer wheels he was offering... I didn't like them or the tires) DONE
new headlight lenses (one is cracked)
Driver's side seat is a little more worn then I like... and the heater element is busted
a GOOD wash and a buffing. DONE

blower motor squeaks sometimes. just a minor annoyance. DONE

Long term plans:
I'd personally like to do a GT28RS or GT2871R kit with all the fixins, but that's not in the budget for a long time.
For now, I'm going to maintain it and drive it and enjoy the ample power it already has.
If the turbo fails... I'll do a turbo kit
if the exhaust springs a leak, I'll get an exhaust

Very nice, I have a 95 S6 myself, though I currently have a no start condition Coming from the MKII is a crazy change. There are tons of things you can do to these, I actually have an RS2 EM/Turbo for mine just haven't had the time to do the rest. Wait till you feel it with software! If you have any questions feel free to drop me a line

no start in an S6?
ignition coil
ignition SWITCH
Cam Position Sensor

I will be sure to annoy you with things

[Pedmaster]

I have a CPS coming, the ignition switch is new, I'm getting fuel and the coils are good (enough to start). I just cranks, I think its probably the cps but after that I'm going to be pretty stuck..I desperatly need to hear it run again...

[Chapel]

that sounds like what the owner of this car told me would happen if the CPS went bad.
luckily it's a quick fix. right up top.

lucky bastard with the white there
I really want the euro tail lights. At least the center piece. i hate the way the US tail piece looks

[Pedmaster]

Have you had any experience with replacing the cps? I know of a couple good write ups and the Audiworld "Original S Cars" forum is fantastic for information I've just never done one myself...

[Chapel]

I haven't replaced one myself, but it looks easy
it's right on top of the motor

It's that little white connector below the fuel injectors just to the right of the timing cover and to the left of that radiator hose.

[Chapel]

how does this make sense:

If I went GT2871R Turbo Kit + Chip Tuning package from 034EFI it's:
$1,765.00 for the turbo kit
$1,125.00 for the chip tuning package
or $2890 for everything

If I went GT3071R Turbo Kit + Chip Tuning package from 034EFI it's
$1,820.00 for the turbo kit
$1,049.00 for the chip tuning package
or $2866 for everything

It's CHEAPER to make 500hp then it is to make 425...

I think both require a FMIC though (which is an extra $1400 from 034) and an turboback exhaust ($1145)

[Chapel]

suspension is first on the list:
Bilstein Sport shocks
H&R Sport Springs (Audi 200 20VQ)
new strut bearings and bushings
and I need to figure out this Igor mod thing

[Pedmaster]

I need to do ball joints, strut bearings and struts myself, I have H&R race springs now but I think I'm going to take another coil off.

[Chapel]

jesus.
that'll be low.

do you have modified strut tops so you aren't cambered way the **** out?

I just bought Apexcone 55W HIDs for it:
http://www.ddmtuning.com/ap55wwesa.html
lots of good reviews for it

I got some Valeo Aero wipers for it too.

[Chapel]

To do:
Install stereo and subwoofer (need Metra 70-1785)
fix driver's side seat heater
address squeaky blower motor
fix driver's side seat bolster tear
suspension
camber plates or Igor mod
wheels
alignment
replace batteries in key fob
install HIDs
install Euro Lenses
Black out headlamps
Oil Change (5w20 in winter and 10w30 in summer)
replace CPS harness
rear brakes
Short shift kit (not sure, researching)

This weekend we're inspecting the ECU for the presence of a a chip ... and then we're gonna pull the speed limiter ... ****ing 127mph horse****.

I'm ordering two CPS sensors today... just to be on the safe side.

[speedtek40]

guess you didn't get in on the Audiworld group buy?

[Chapel]

I did.

[speedtek40]

LOL....gotcha

[URSledgehammer]

I would like to see how your HID kit turns out. I am in the market.

[Chapel]

I should have it this week

[Chapel]

I can't decide:

or

or

[robbyb413]

So you pulled the trigger eh? Awesome. I'm jealous.

[Chapel]

yep
looks like the plan is going to be murdering it out...
It just looks so good.

I have H&R race springs now but I think I'm going to take another coil off.

give it time, they'll do that on their own

[Chapel]

Parker, did you remove the rubber thing off the top coils?
Why are the H&R springs for these cars so prone to rust breakage? I've never had a problem with any other H&R kit I've bought

[MFZERO]

not sure. in the time that I've been with the shop I've seen 2 customers cars do it and one outside of work

[Chapel]

removing the rubber thing seems to fix it from what I've read.
or using 200 20VQ springs

[Chapel]

Tail light choices:

Euro S4

Euro S6

Euro 100

Euro A6

trying to find other aftermarket choices

germantoy has these:

I have no idea what they are.

[Chapel]

time for a new air filter:
K&N 33-2029

[Pedmaster]

You ain't wastin any time, I'm going to check the springs when I have everything apart for new struts, I prefer the S4 euro recess b/c I don't like the angles on the edges of the S6. Murdered is the way, I like the first black RS6's, the last ones look like Benzo wheels. Maaaan I can't wait to drive my car again....I suck

[Chapel]

think I might be ordering suspension in the next few days too.

I've gotten to a point in my life where when it comes to my cars... I don't want to **** around too much.
I just want to get it to where I want it right away.

H&Rs and Bilsteins... just running it by my wife first so it's not a surprise purchase.

[SoLater'd]

Silver RS6's

[Chapel]

so, not the black?

[Pedmaster]

So tempted to say black, that car you posted above was a ****ing monster too, loved that car...

[Chapel]

this 'un?

[Pedmaster]

Yep, was a couple years ago now but was a really nicely built car, one of my favs...

[Chapel]

hey, what suspension do you have on your car? do you have camber plates to correct?
