That Pale Guys Wagon
Thank you man, I really appreciate the comment.
The details bit is something I love doing. I feel the small things usually lead to a better car and overall doing the details now prevents further issues down the road and knocks out unwanted costs later with the car, and leads to better looking car. If it's going to be done, just spend the extra $$ now and do it right. Just trying to make sure all the modifications and maintenance repairs balance out.
As for the engine, I do have plans but nothing extreme like a BT build. I was originally going to do a BT, but honestly I want the car to last me a good bit and I want to drive the car to shows even the nice out of state shows. So that lead me down to looking for the best way to get the most out of the engine whilst still having OEM drivability and reliability but OEM+ feel of power.
So I've decided the next thing, when paint and body work is finished, is to invest into a Frankenturbo F21 setup. I'll run a racewerks FM (all black pipping to look oem), already have my exhaust and test pipe and keep the OEM air box as it's the best solution for these cars. I've already added a simple drop in filter which has been proven to be the best solution for the b6/b7 a4's. Then a nice simple tune, larger injectors and upgraded fuel pump. I want a simple and reliable 280-300 awhp. If eventually I need to do piston rings (car has 145k miles) then I'd look into upgrading the internals just a bit. But for the most part, every BT setup I see, drives great for a bit, then something happens and money is always needed to maintain it and keep it running properly when something breaks. Everyone running a Frankenturbo setup, has been running them for thousands of miles, daily, without issue. Exactly what I want and still puts a smile on the face.
So today I'm going to instal these nice b6 3.0 a4 power fold/self dimming mirrors and S4 self dimming rear view mirror.
Also here's a pic of the cancer eating away at the metal fenders. This is the passenger side but both sides have been effected by the up north winters. So I have brand new OEM audi fenders (both sides) and a whole S4 front conversion, with the euro S4 black edition grills, ready to go to change up the appearance a bit.
