Finally found my perfect v10

I hope to have this feeling one day lol

What are BBK options for s6 owners, from the VAG family? i would think something from a bigger, heavier car can we swapped in, no? What was the rs6 caliper part number? i cannot find that anywhere.

I had to machine some ~8mm spacers to get the rs6 calipers to fit as well some longer bolts from a dodge RT. Else I believe you need new knuckles and maybe axles from the rs6 for oe fitment. Keep in mind these calipers are the same as the rs7, 63 series AMGs, camaro, ranges, and CYS-Vs with a different bracket. I dont have the PN offhand anymore. I know you can also get the brembo gt kit for the s6. Maybe some alcon setups, I have seen on some a8 D3s which are the same knuckle. The ceramic rotor setups will also all interchange. I’ve seen someone fit the ceramic calipers “19Zs” w/ steel rotors on a D3 with oe fitment.


So I caved and got a matching set of AP racing rear rotors 356x28mm up from the stock 330x22mm. They run a 45mm piston vs the stock 43mm piston. I also did test fit the s6 stock caliper on the RS6 brackets and they will fit and function the same and accominodate the larger width rotors, you just dont get the 45mm pistons and braking force. FYI, the RS6 brackets are not a direct fit to the knuckles, grinding was required. The C6 RS6 calipers / brackets do in fact run the stock s6 brake pad, same pad found on a lot of the larger audis with floating rears, I just sanded them down a little bit, re-used, and re-bedded. I am very pleased with the outcome and finishing off the BBKs all around. Few pics to match

Got around to installing the UK Analog TV tuner today. Plan to install the USB touchscreen overlay shortly. This was a super easy install and cost me about $70 including the module 4E0919146C, MOST splitter, and power / diag cable splitter harness. I removed the sat tuner for now because I plan to dedicate mount the android box there and launch dash command upon boot. Also fun being able to watch YouTube, movies, or the news

The 6’ farka video cable plugs simply into the RVC module. Activate VIM and TV tuner in VCDS




Fun little weekend mod to bring some functional modernization to the c6

I would love if you would detail this in a separate thread. I’m a video/audio/computer idiot, but would really like to make these updates. It’s the main area that the car falls short for me.

Pretty please? :slight_smile:

Yes I will make a thread now

So in attempts to make the car perfect for my Ceramic Pro appointment on 9/14 I have painted the front bumper, hood, fenders, rear quarter panels, door blades, rear bumper, and trunk. What has not been painted is the doors and roof. Clear braw has been applied to all repainted areas with exception to the trunk and bumper, but did put bra behind rear tires on bumper on right and left sides.

Also had the headlights redone again and clear brawd. The f’ing car has to be perfect before ceramic. Black is near impossible. I had to get the fenders painted twice because we found a blemish under the clear coat after clear bra was applied. Repainted fenders, re clear braw fenders. Now dust under the fenders braw!! Back to get fenders brawd AGAIN for 5th time on Wednesday.

Headlight braw came out perfect and ready

Filler plate refuses to not take chips, drove 40 miles after painting it for the 2nd time. Still chips. Gonna live with it. No not happy


In front of rear tires. No the door is not chipped, just dirty.

Door blades and clear came out perfectly. Dirty pics


New OEM windshield put in today. $640 w/ tax + sticky tape for rain sensor +$175 for install. Good deal imo. Old windshield was chipped, pitted, afu. Ceramic goes on windshield so has to be perf

AMEX loves me

Lake,

Excellent update. The car is coming along nicely, and will turn out to be the cleanest s6 in the US lol. AMEX and Audi may be in partnership… the requirement for funds on these cars is never ending. Cheers and keep up the great work.

Haha agreed! This car refuses to play nicely. Towing the car on a flatbed to get ceramic’d today. I will never tow on a flatbed without a front shield. Now in need of drivers side drl led strip. Ughh

!

I’m on my 2nd DRL replacement. Should be able to find new OEM on eBay for about $150.

Your car looks incredible.

Thanks wtmmm, time and pain. Pain & $ lol

I did find a used on for $175. I am going to live with it for a while as I took the supra gr off track last weekend and now need to put money into that car :frowning:

Got the phaeton brake ducts installed today. Straight direct fit with the rs6 calipers, no trimming or cutting required at all. Also clears the level sensor by 1cm at full lock. What I really like about these ducts is that they direct the air towards the hub so it can be vented through the vanes in the disc, not direct to the rotor like I have seen with some diy, causing the inside face of the rotors to be cooler than the outside.

Stock S6 Shields

Phaeton Shields

I want to install 2.5" ducts from the front lower intake vents that are not used. They are blocked off with exception to the one aux radiator. I’ll run them to feed the brake ducts. The oem rs6 has this feature.

I’ll do it clean, home brew but “a must do” to have full efficiency. When the car sits flat, you can see phaeton brake ducts do not clear under the car, maybe because mine is lowered more than a phaeton.

I know folks wants to always wants to go fast but after experiencing brake fade on the track with 3 different cars I desire brake mods.

Until that SC kit is released, I’ll want the go fast kit!!

Clean. What are the part numbers needed to do this brake duct mod, or the RS6 OEM swap?

Referenced here for a C5:

The shields are
3D0615311C & 3D0615312C

The ducts are
Left: 3D0615447E
Right: 3D0615448E

The ducts to go from the front of the bumper thru to the wheel liner I am going to home brew. Not ordering rs6 parts.

Just need something like 4 of these (two in the lower inlet grills and two in the fender liners feeding the brake) and some 1’ or so tubing

Got the car up on stilts yesterday as I work towards engine out PM. Here is a perfect example of what happens when you do not loosen the control arms and re tighten at the correct ride height when lowering the car. Had a mechanic do it, obviously he forgot to do this step. Want something done right, do it yourself.

My set of (5) stasis 20x9 et48 wheels are FS btw $1000 for the set. They also have ceramic coating on them about 800 miles ago. 1 wheel has some rash rest are near new condition

Ykes. Thats messed up.
