bought this A4 20vT for cheaps to daily,mega miles no history,blew it up within a fortnight........oil looked good but ripping the engine to bits revealed heavy sludge build up which chewed it out,ditched it in my sisters driveway and left it for over a year and a half due to working on my coupe and running my golf as a daily instead

found these lying in a shop and thought RUF as i could only see the top of the wheel,walked round and they were 6 spokes but still loved them so figuring theyd go well on the audi I decided to fix it

thinking about keeping it RUF themed I got them done satin black

had to give the tyres a skiff as I wanted the faces flush but still wanted to run 215/35 and 225/40(wheels are 8.5 and 9.5x18)

that was a pretty condensed 'get folks up to date' im waiting on a friend of a friend turning up the custom adaptors,the 'ruf' wheels are actually BIM creative auto salon ZIET's and are off a supra so are M12 5x114.3 which I could have drilled out for M14's but they'd still need bolt to hub spacers and wobble bolts so im just going to wait on the adaptors coming,its currently lying like a shot pigeon with 3 burst gaitors and a broken exhaust which is more a priority as the work van is proper death.Ive got options wheel wise other than the BIM's but the whole reason for the build was those wheels so im as eager to see them on as you are lol
thanks for all the feedback and hi calvin :D
pics of the green ones will wait till im working on them or running them as ive nothing to update the threads with:(

you did,I was on there from when I had my B5 passat wagon and because I was in a B5 again I thought i'd stick a post up but it never got much traffic because my updates are work dependant so it got archived a lot lol
and hi eck lol we get about dont we hahaha,we're looking at a CNC machine(mainly for diamond cutting)for in the work but its ideal for adaptors so if it comes quick enough ill knock my own adaptors up as im truly fed up with getting fucked about for them
dubbed_up_daz
11-12-2009, 08:23 PM
adaptors are on their way but the car isnt,down on compression on two cylinders so the cold starting problem wasnt the temp sender like I hoped,could be either sticking or burnt valves,a hairlined gasket or rings none of them good,plus the first cv that got knocked off for a new gaitor to get fitted fell to bits and it still needs a new downpipe/decat
all in red cars suck dick
