wait, what the fuck car is that? I thought you had an RS6?

DD, see post #240.

Here are the new Enkei wheels on the filthy RS6.

Looks superb :tup:

+1 <3 rs6’s

it’s amazing how much better the RS6 looks compared to your A6 despite them being basically the same body.

Thanks guys.

The hidden exhaust on the A6 is definately a thumbs down. My RS6 is lower too which makes it look better imo.

I had a nice evening in Pittsford tonight with the wife and kid. I love that little town/village. It was a nice night for an evening.
It was a pleasure meeting Matt Danger(and friends) tonight as I picked up the 6 speed transmission for the RS6. :slight_smile: The adaptor kit should be in my hands in a few days. I just need pedals, etc and someone to install it. Since no one locally seems to be interested it looks like it will be going to Pittsburgh.
Can’t wait. :smiley:

If you want an experimental luxo-super sedan run LMK once it’s installed! By all bench racing accounts you should walk me, but you never know til you try…

I saw a C5 S6 the other day and thought of this thread. I remember you wanted another wagon for your daily and I’m in the same boat. The widebody avant S6 looks sooo much better than a basic C5 A6, but it only comes in auto so I started wondering what it would cost to swap a 6sp in. Its probably better just to get a V8 S4 avant 6sp. Glad to hear you are doing the swap though, seeing as there was no way to get that motor with a 6sp this car is going to end up being both incredibly unique and amazingly fun.

^^For sure, that would be fun and interesting. Hopefully sooner than later but you know how that goes.
^I seem to remember someone saying a regular 4.2 swap is pretty easy and does not require “adaptor” type parts. (?)

What are your plans for getting around a CEL with a messing message error? Or has someone finally figured out an “out”?

Awesome !!! Good move, Lack of a manual is one of my holdbacks on this car. Look forward to your updates.

Steve’s car has no CEL issues, just ABS and traction control light. From what I am told this will not be an inspection issue.

^Yeah, I gotta think eventually most of these cars will have manual transmissions.

Nope, no problem with abs/trac lights.

And so the delays begin. The flywheel manufacturer put the crank sensor indicator in the wrong position, again.

Landcruiser for winter and 911 for summer

I may do a build thread like some people have suggested but I feel funny doing that because I don’t “wrench” on my car myself.

Anyway here is a picture of the 6 speed conversion parts I have so far…
