...I am no mechanical expert, a noob....

...I am still very confident....

Lol.. I am a gambling expert though, so know how to assess risk.

Hi Bam Bam,

Can imagine.

Back in the land of the living.

How do I get photos up on this site?

Plus, for those who are interested, there are quite a few parts that have been replaced, some are fine to be refurbished, some to be thrown away (brakes etc), I guess.

If anyone is interested in the old intercoolers, very good condition Vrederstein Winter tyres etc, then let me know.

Thanks,

When I had to do emergency repair on Turbos in Poland last year - 7 hrs and I had the turbos out with the engine out.

Hi Ben,

It took them about a day to get the engine out.

Thanks,

Some pics of the goodies..

Zimmerman and Brembo combo: Discs and pads



Various goodies, bits and bobs



Wagner ICs



Pipes - Downpipes with sport cats - leaving the Milltek ends



New shields - Not sure what is in the plastic bag..



I will be in Krakow later this week, to see it mostly finished.

Brutus should be running, so the tuning sessions will start. See what they decide on output.

Will get more photos.

Then they will finish off all the detailing, fix the wonderful dent in the rear right wheel arch a taxi driver kindly did.

Leaving Brutus in a fantastic condition for the 2500 mile roadtrip from Krakow to Malta - Via Germany, Austria, Italy and Sicily.

Engine ready to go back into old Brutus..

2nd round on the gearbox but now is all good..



A lot going on there..

[bam_bam]

What was wrong with the gearbox?

[benh999]

Is it just me or do the Wagner’s look a bit “agricultural? The welds even look a bit wonky

Don’t hate, it’s just an observation

[Shoppinit]

And the disks have got holes in them! What is this junk?!

OK. So Brutus is now fully finished and running, sounding & looking pretty sweet.

Final gear box build to withstand 1000bhp but only packing around 525bhp. Should be ok...

Totally re-built - Likely to be one of the top 5 RS6 C5s mechanically in the world now. Bold statement

Wrapped by Wrap Collabo - World Champion wrappers who have done a fantastic job.

Subtle company branding, which is likely to be viewed by some as a sin, but I don't give a Fu*k.. It looks awesome..

ENJOY..!!
