New from Columbus OH, Stage 3 Audi A6.

[TeckJoel]

So I've lurked for a while and decided finally to join, After following the birth/life/and (temporary) death of Rusty. I've always lurked and stalked the forums so f-it why not join.

My current daily is this car below, its a 2000 Audi A6 2.7t. The car is a 6 speed and it is full stage 3, its meth injected and tuned by VAST Performance in Michigan. The stereo and window tint and a lot of the instalation of the parts were done by me and my old co-workers at Fresh Designs INC in Ellicott City Maryland.

Currently I live in Columbus OH and havent driven the car in about 2-2.5 weeks due to a dead clutch. I'll be at East Coast Bash this coming weekend with the car however, and im going to be selling it in the near future. I want something different. I really would like to get back into an S-Chassis.

I bought the car, it was BONE stock, with the addition of all weather floor mats.

This is all i can remember from the top of my head but im sure theres more, i've had like 8 different sets of wheels, and a ton of stereo setups, I used to work at a tint and stereo shop.

anyways on to the photos.


I'll post a bunch of its life that i have still.




anyways, heres a bunch of photos of it through out the years on the different wheels and what not. i'll update it accordingly.




1.5 days after i bought it. already had wheels on it


first photoshoots




with this kids turbo nsx and a good friends STi


on the way to street life tour 2009

I have a thing with 3000k headlights, i love them


My C5 and my moms B6





Both those photos are taken at AMC movies at the mall at Columbia MD.





than one day i fucked up.












i made a u-turn there, on my summer tires......in november.....in the rain, hit wet leaves and gravel while accelerating, hit the guard rail at 15mph. $11,000 later..........

[TeckJoel]

so i promptly grabbed a set of winter wheels, and got ready for winter.

well winter > joel





76 inches of snow in 3 days i believe it was.

Now i smoked at that time and i ran out of cigs and beer. well that shit wasnt going to fly, so i dug my ass out.

On a trip home from ohio, i had another casualty.


my high pressure headlight washer got eaten due to ice...and me going 90mph.......


My first stereo setup in there, alpine MRP F300 and MRP 500, great for a budget setup.


did a hardwood floor in the trunk with 2 12" JLs and a false wall


some nice Focal Components


Than my exhaust 2.5" Straight Pipes with modified dummy resonators.


Hollow fake resonators


Than came new wheels the following spring......


gotta keep it dark as hell on the windows.

[TeckJoel]

Crusing on the highway

I have a thing wtih stickers, most people **** them, I dont care. I like standing out, and what better way to do it than with stickers. I've never gotten so many compliments on my car like when i have stickers on it. i miss a lot of them, but everything must change.


My a6, and my and dmillers old s13. we both miss that car like hell, i traded him my integra for the 240.




This is one of my favourite photos ever taken of my car.







Than the next winter hit....

[TeckJoel]

oh before winter hit, i went to hyperfest 2010.

this was the only photo i have of my car from there.




just after hyperfest, my stock clutch blew. 103,954 miles. Well fuck it, if were going to pull the motor, its time to go stage 3.


Thats the motor waiting on a new set of turbos, clutch, and downpipes.

By the way, for anyone ever thinking of using clutchmasters, I will NEVER recommend them, my $1900 Clutchmasters stage 4 setup wtih flywheel is now dead after 16.700 miles... I now am putting in a VAST stage 4 setup.



But anyways next winter hit, winter 2010 and i didnt really take any photos or any documentation of my car, big regret.

I killed my winter 19's that i had, i bent 2 wheels and popped 2-$360 tires in one pothole....

My service writer at Tischer Audi in Silverspring MD, Evan S, hooked me up with a set of Factory Allroad Wheels and tires for stupid cheap. This guy has ALWAYS helped me out whenever i needed anything with the car. Awesome guy, awesome dealership, I CANNOT say enough about them.

the wheels wernt the prettiest but fuck it, they were functional and they sat pretty aggressively, i liked it. it was different


around this time, i moved away from MD and moved back where i'm from, to Ohio, and proceded to dump ALL my money into the car the way i wanted.


thats how quickly i wanted to get away from MD


who wouldnt stop at teh house of babes where there sign says no fat chicks


another random speeding photo

Oh yeah at some point i had a 2000 vw golf.


Both cars were broken, that was at my old shop, Fresh Designs in Ellicott City MD. They did all my stereo and tinting work and a lot of other work to my car. Those guys up there are some of the best people i've ever met. Both on a professional level and as friends. The owner Doug took me in at the shop and always took care of me, including giving me a job and always being there for me for what ever I needed, I cannot speak enough about him and the head technician Chris who taught me more in the 16 months i was there than any formal education i've ever had. I cannot speak enough about them. There alarm tech Jeff took care of my car always too. Amazing people, Amazing shop.

At that point, the a6 was dead due to electrical fire, and the golf due to being backed into by an f150 with a trailer hitch. quite gay.



A photo of my A6 with my room mates blue cbr 1000rr and good friends r1


my good buddy anton helping me with my swaybar install. thats a metal skid plate were putting back in.

[TeckJoel]

and lowered it another 1.5"


...........











My C5 a6 2.7t 6 speed, my roomates 1.8t B5 which is for sale, lowered and on rims, and his c5 a6 2.7t tip sitting outside, and the cbr1000rr and r1 in the garage..... plotting evil



the last day i drove the car the other day.




this is how it sits today...




This is why i will never buy another clutchmasters product.

oh and a motor shot for good luck......

[Yogi_Bear]

Nice work man, very informative

[TeckJoel]

Those are the next wheels i want, in some red/orange-ish colour.

18x9.5 et32 and than add like 8mm spacer and maybe stretch a 215 or something of the sort.

[jasonklee]

Good stuff.

Welcome to StanceWorks

[99rGreenA6]

YESSS! ....... I <3 pre-facelifted C5's great work man.

[shaggy]

nice nice nice. keep it real

[Peetah05]

Cleanliness of the car is ruined by the stickers IMO. Would look way better without them.

[Jagermeister89]

wow that car sounds beastly! nice work done, i kinda would of toned it down on the stickers, but meh :p its your car and it looks great.
