    Supra Dupra's money pit!

    No it's not a Supra...Actually, I've never owned a Supra.

    It's my beloved Audi C5 A6. Loads and loads and loads of upgrades. And, now...I'm dropping $650 for a rebuild kit after I lost the synchros for 1st and 2nd.

    I'd be happy to. Alas, I don't see anything on the site for transmission rebuilds. Other than that, I have nothing to up grade! Oh...wait....ask him if he sells CV boots that last longer than 3 miles? If he does, I'll take them ALL!

    Quite happy with my "narrow body" Stg 3+ ride now thank you.

    A few years ago, I went to the Big SoCal Euro show at Qualcomm. A buddy of mine has a couple of RS6s. He'd been talking to the guys from Raven MS. The had done a 6spd swap on another customer's RS6. Because of my buddy, I got to take it for a quick spin up into 3rd in the parking lot. Quite fun!

    Thanks to the same buddy, I'm rather familiar with the RS6. Years before that, about a month after meeting him, we were at a track event at Willow Springs, he walked up to me and threw me his keys, "Let me know what you think.". Then he walked away. I took it relatively easy for the next session. GAWD the torque in that thing....

    I guess I can post this here...Me at AAA on the roval. This was before I started using V710s. What a difference that made! Quite a few interesting cars in the vid.

    I still think that the C5 platform is when the A6's styling peaked.

    The only other thing I have to add is that I feel like I've spotted a unicorn when I see a C5 A6 with two functioning rear fog lamps.

    Two lamps is actually a modification, I think. Only the driver's side light is supposed to light up in the US (and only the pass side in Yerp, which is why there are two).
    Whoomah!
