Audi A4 BAT - Quattro Project by Tom's Garage

[mgpdoc]

Ok. here's something fresh ... Something you usually see in drag/time attack evo's, or other similar projects

Remember the spare headlight i had purchased from Germany?

Well....lets talk about it a bit....

I got it back from the guy that made all my gauge pods as well....

So here it is....I will let the pics talk and if anyone has questions I will be happy to help....

Air directly to the filter, relocated headlight plug, carbon wrapped pipe in the interior of the headlight....Cheers...









And the relocation of the plug and flexible pipe to drive the air where i want





So bumper off....



Fitted it



Finished product







Still had to figure out the issue with another ballast so as to make the headlight work . . .

[mgpdoc]

And then - I finally found the big ported head I was looking for to meet our specs of quality - here it is

[mgpdoc]

And then one of the best photoshoots we ever had with Kostas















Enjoy

Next update will be my engine internals complete build - so stay tuned -

[mgpdoc]

Here are some shots of the whole building process... like a diary , Before / During / After

Starting off with the Guy responsible...

Hello there and thanks for the positive feedback. I do know in fact that this is something different for Stanceworks, however I think it has ideas to give to people, inspire, and see a documented build from start to today . . . same ways I have been reading threads in here, that are not of this style . . . however every nice build has something unique to offer - fact.
As for the car... from here onwards it is starting to show what it is all about.

Cheers

Then did some more work

Rear brake pads, and rear stainless steel braided lines which i had previously bought.









This bolt from the rear sway had come off, not sure why....Replaced it though....



Finished



And, here goes another small, but interesting fabrication project for the hood this time....Since the OEM spring is too powerfull for the CF Seibon Hood i figured to do something else, instead of holding it open with a wood, stick etc ....

So . . .

First we take the piece of metal we will use, modify it to fit the oem nipple where the OEM spring sits in...

Here it is...



and a close up



Then, the place on the hood where it will sit at...



And then make the metal latch sit tight in place when the hood is closed...

Well the D1S 3000K, new pair of lamps has arrived at last...



My assistant is looking for anything suspicious in my new shift light..



Ordered:



So, a part of my front suspension system failed, so onto a new one to replace it...

Out with the old part



And here is the brand new





But taking the wheels out, i found something i didnt like...due to aggressive setup and high km/h speeds lately ....

Inner part of both front wheels





Moved those to the rear asap....
------------
After that, I received my ballast from Germany,and I also had my new lamps,and if you recall, I had my modified headlight which i tried for a while...



So here is the test of all those together...



Hehe so happy they work together.... So time to remove the bumper this afternoon and put the modified healight on yeaaaaah!

So....

I went for it, removed bumper....once again, hehe



Headlights side by side from down side,



Test....



Ready
