Audi A4 BAT - Quattro Project by Tom's Garage

[mgpdoc]

Decided I wanted to do something to the roof to make it black as well . . . so I did . . .





And there it is, put already in the car



Closer look



And fooling around with 4g's HDR camera option

Lights off



Lights on






























And of course . . . Time for some wash after the snow...

[mgpdoc]

Received my new slim quick release hub









Needed a lot of work, to make the horn work, but I did it.

After some modifications and some work, i managed to fit my spacer as well, I love my driving position now







Excuse the crappy pics, but iphone4, is really handy for quick picies

Then I bought some oem stuff...



Going from this



To this







Put the Quattro Badge on, and I totally love it...





Also ordered this little thing here for my handbrake...





A random shot, not so awful considering it is with an Iphone4





And,

Some older videos, with awful sound , but just for fun...

Passed my Mechanical Inspection...



Still was waiting for tires to arrive...SUX..



Which after some wait, finally arrived....So time to go to the shop...



Out with the old





Hello new sticky rubber





Did a proper alignment



And there it is ready again...



And, gave it a touch - I just had to do

[mgpdoc]

Well, after having done enough kms, I have to say that one of my main concerns in engine builds of this magnitude, is not only the engine to work in first place and make power, that is the lets say easy part....the difficult part is to have this engine work daily drive to work, and not open the hood for no other reason than clean it, and check oil and fluids levels...I thought this couldnt be done in a project like this. However I was proved wrong, and this thanks to my friend Tomas who took care of the build, so once again thanks to him...







So , seeing it was all going well, it was time to see some 6xx or 7xx hp numbers...

Say Hello to my little friend. Precision Turbo 6262 0,63













And here next to a GT3582





In love



Haha

[mgpdoc]

Well drinks anyone ?



These instead of my Motul Gear FF ones, for a change




And then some OEM goodness cause I needed them after the colour change, had some temporary A3 floormats...



Random pics, and some more new stuff, getting ready for some changes..







Putting the shift light in place



Some new stuff



Cheers

[mule.]

not a fan of the lime green accents, but whatever floats your boat.

everything else is impeccable!

[mgpdoc]

Thank you very much.

Some fabrication time

Mesh, HKS Filter, and more mesh . . .



Starting



Inner layer ready








Filter Setup Time









Bought these



this is for my interior door latches project, to come



And turbo filter setup almost ready

[mgpdoc]

So, AC Compressor removal, since I had removed the AC a long time ago. But I hadnt done the work of finding a shorter auxiliary belt to replace the OEM one.

So....AC Compressor removal and bolts



This is the place where it is located



And some belts for testing, to pick the right one




What is more, some pics of the External WG dump tube due to the fact I get some messages for pics from it, plus the Read Diff Temp Sensor...

[mgpdoc]

Received something...





It also had a lollipop inside, L O O O O O L



Pics of the vent in place





And now plenty of vents in stock, I think I will sell the grey ones, I dont need them anymore, all three of them...




Then, time for some Gear and rear Dif Oil Change

Out with the "old"



And then put the RedLines, excellent, I loved them both in hard use, and in cold starts...

BUT while we were at it, there was some free time in the lift, so I though, why not remove some unnecessary weight..and so we did...

During...



And some finished shots



And a shot I forgot

[mgpdoc]

Started removing things in Tom's Garage.







Some more protection for the Oil Return Line



More air for the cooler



Checking of the turbo





More Parts



This one for later use











Tom Ready to begin installation hehe



Water Lines off









Fabricating new Charge IC pipe





Fuel Return Lines Time, New Filter w/o Build in FPR, and Aeromotive A1000 installation






















Now, all i need is to fabricate a BIG intake. Cause the one i made, sadly is insufficient for this turbo. AEM 9 inch, 4in inlet, is most likely the way I will go.

More on that later

[mgpdoc]

Took my rear bumper off . . .



Removed its inner lining



Then did some games . . .



That lead to this



Did my rear bumper protection in black



Started putting everything back after a clean-up







Not to everyone's taste, but I wanted to do it for a long time

And then some other expensive vehicles I loved today . . .

[mgpdoc]

Hmmmm, DeWalt really makes some nice tools I must say . . .They do what they promise muahahahha....







Door Card back on, and everything is OEM again

Work in Progress . . .





More to do Later here . . .





And some better views of the rear , which I like

[mgpdoc]

Speed Holes help washing procedures . . .





Temporary License Plate location



I will propably make a small one, even though not legal . . . Damn License plate laws in Greece (300euros fine if you dont have it in front . . . )

[mgpdoc]

Had to tidy-up my front licnse plate a bit . . .

So made a first attempt at vinyl-plate . . .



Hmmm it was a bit big and couldnt make it work somewhere I liked it . . .







So I made some more in various sizes . . .



And ended up with this spot . . . It is clean . . yet illegal . . . Do you like it ?







As for the rear interior painting, work in progress . . .
