For info chaps, my first post on the RS6 forum..

Found this today in a mate's workshop here in Athens.... Kostas is the Greece APR rep, amongst other things, and has a passion for all things Audi and the Bi-Turbos... Yes a working manual RS6 ! , I can get more info if you want?

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!)

Sorry wasn't paying much atention to the car, only see now I look at the side pics!, yep that's an A4, duh, anyway it has the RS6 lump and they mated a 6 speed gearbox to it.

Maybe I should re-post as "man fits RS6 engine in B5 A4 chasis!" what a T!T I feel, duh.

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

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

You can see the front supported but not the back!!!

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

damm thin i need to get my eyes checked but did freak me out for a second.

Anyhow more info/pics and why adaptor plate had to be welded on would be great

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