Audi A4 Avant 3.0 V6 Quattro 2003

[Paul @ Unit 9 Remaps]

Cheers john. 2 days later pain is horrible. more the mouth than any thing else. face is getting better though can see a big difference.

Received my votex front air dam today heres a quick picture to ilistrate. Think speed humps maybe a pain now.

Also ordered a new key as the main one is getting tatty. A RamAir filter and going to make my own heatshield.

 

[Paul @ Unit 9 Remaps]

Got my Ram air filter today. Unsure weather to make a nice metal pipe push it towards the front of the car and make a heatshield and intake all in one. or just make a heatshield like the Jabbasport one i had on the leon with the standard air intake to match.

Whats the spec of your BBS wheels?

 

[Paul @ Unit 9 Remaps]

will have to check tommorow for you fella

 

[Paul @ Unit 9 Remaps]

Sorry for the late reply' Wheels are 8.5J all around ET35

Well no real update' Getting the paint and bumper fitted after winter now as makes alittle sense to me' Ordered a new 3 button flip key a while back and they sent 2 out which was alittle result. still yet to transfer over' Have no real go lately but if this week isnt busy thinking of starting to make the induction kit i have in mind using the Ram Air filter.

Lovely car, I like the way you look after it...

 

[Paul @ Unit 9 Remaps]

Cheers was due to come off the road today' for a month so i could get time to do the cam belt kit' new track rod ends. all new control arms and front end respray and maybe wheel colour change' But the Works ford ranger decided to crack its head. with a bit of look might get a 4wd v6 jaguar X type tomorrow and use it for a month

 

[Padz]

WHERE did you get the votex bits!! I have been hunting high and low for weeks now and cant find 1 single piece

 

[SL11CKK]

Patience as it eventually comes up, but most of the time on breaking cars

 

[Padz]

^^^ yeah think the breakers yards is my next stop. Any recommendations? Also do you have any pics of your car as its exactly the same as mine and I haven't seen many in this colour that are modded.

 

[Paul @ Unit 9 Remaps]

Took the car off the road last week' and now in no rush but started this morning to get a few jobs done.


Timing Belt kit
Water pump
Some bushes etc
New Wings
Votex kit
Front end respray
Joey Mod headlights (if i can mange to split them)

 

[quattrojames]

Nice to have the ability to take it off the road and do the jobs at your own pace, without being subject to the pressure of time. Good luck.

 

[Paul @ Unit 9 Remaps]

Very busy to be honest with jobs during the day' the inlaws project. also putting a body on a wagon for him too. his ranger needs a new engine. its all go. all i can say is its quiet interesting removing the front end some well hidden stuff

 

[mattyb6]

Glad to see some progress Paul

I really should start a build thread too tbh

 

[Paul @ Unit 9 Remaps]

Get one up Matty. Not so much progress should had most this done before winter and with the weather. Even the wings where alittle interesting to come off

 

[mattyb6]

Il start tomorrow mate. Getting fibre optic in, I've been using my iPhone Internet for time being.

So you'll see it up Tmra

 

[AndyF]

Lovely car, looks the same as mine before you modded it, same wheels and same black / charcoal colour. Mines only a 2.0 petrol though and that seem thirsty enough! I'd love that spoiler for mine.

 

[SL11CKK]

Love the naked pics.

 

[Paul @ Unit 9 Remaps]

It's not to bad on fuel' really, cheers I quite liked the pictures with the front end off too, might get alittle done today as plans have been knocked on the head

 

[Paul @ Unit 9 Remaps]

Only picture what i have from today' Painted the Cam covers' Asked for VHT crackle red to be sent down and they sent smooth, Couldnt be bothered so just used it and was happy with it. The picture looks alittle odd as used an Iphone and had a flare light on so doesnt look really red like it does. Also managed to get all the new Pulley's Roller's and tensioners on along with New metal impellar water pump. Just the belt to get on now and that will be Monday

 

[Paul @ Unit 9 Remaps]

Timing belt kit / Water pump etc done' waiting on front wings coming before i put the bumper back on, Radiator / slam panel / crash bar is also fitted.

[Paul @ Unit 9 Remaps]

received my new pair of wings this morning' 5am heard the letter box go. half 6 went down stairs to find a note' sorry didnt want to disturb you, your audi wings are under your car on the drive.

 

[dpbayly]

Top job...

Will you be doing the inlet manifold too in red I think it looks better all matching IMO

 

[quattrojames]

Where did you get the wings from mate?

 

[Paul @ Unit 9 Remaps]

that looks far too much i think was going to do them crackle black but like them the slightly dark silver. looks more oem / classy. a seller on ebay James i thought they where good price tgoo. next day delivery well more like 12hrs

 

[dpbayly]

I see, going to end up with the OEM B7 RS4 look to it.


Also I wouldn't say mine looks any less classy.

 

[Paul @ Unit 9 Remaps]

Never meant that just meant the red on the inlet is abit too much for me, if I was going to do it I would be doing black but like the dark silver to break it up abit and like it against the red, thinking of going purple wheels so the bottle caps might sbe going purple with a purple strut brace

 

[dpbayly]

Nice.... I think that will look smart with the wheels done, cant wait to see that.

 

[Paul @ Unit 9 Remaps]

More like a quiet metallic Aubergene sort of purple I'm thinking, funny enough there was a mk2 tt at ultimate dubs in the colour

 

[AlexGSi2000]

Some good progress, like it alot! - surprising how similar the 2.5TDi V6 and Petrol V6 engines are - pretty much all the pulleys & ancillaries are in the same place.

Did your wings come pre-painted? I need to replace mine.

 

[Paul @ Unit 9 Remaps]

Not painted mate as was worried about colour match and can get them done cheaper. But also getting bonnet and bumper done too

 

[munchkincoupe]

Go for the polished look if you can put the time in - I used to run some Clio sport show cars - check out the engine bays below

[Paul @ Unit 9 Remaps]

just dont have the time for that but would be nice

didnt get much done today' Fitted All four new front upper arms with new Track rod ends' Replaced all the bolts with new ones too' Also quickly under sealed the inside of the new wings.

 

[SL11CKK]

Love what you did with the cam covers. Looks very OEM like on the RS5 I've seen.

What branded arms did you use?

 

[Paul @ Unit 9 Remaps]

im actually unsure' the inlaw ordered them whilst i was at wearside audi yesterday morning. know he said and i got genuine track rod ends. and the arms are excellent quality too so maybe also genuine

 

[Paul @ Unit 9 Remaps]

Bonded the Votex front on yesterday' Also got the Paint, Hardener, Clear coat and primer. so hopefully get a start on the front end on Monday

 

[martyn s]
