Moded suspension using various VAG parts (sorry but I don't know what a normal RS6 front setup looks likebut he said it took some work!)

Looks a beefy adaptor plate used. Shame no photo's of the engine in there...

:lol: Nige I looked at the photos about 20 times & thought it was a B5 A4 but decided not to post for fear of looking like (more of) a cock :)

Moved to B5 S4 forum & re-titled.

Maybe you should have re-titled it "A4 with RS6 Engine & RS4 Manual Gearbox Installed"

ok guys but is it me or is this car floating in the air

I cant see any ramps and all the stands are clear of the body.

also bit weird thats a adaptor plate been welded in there. Ive been told all audi boxes mount to all their engines. Hence all the bolt patterns on them

The front axle stands are in line with the brembo boxes , the rears are in line with the wheel on the floor ..

I'll stick with my v6 but i'd love to get hold of the "hover flux capacitor interface" excellent for OVER taking :)
