  • South of Detroit: An Audi Ultrasport.. and more

    Hello Stanceworks,


    I have been browsing Stanceworks for over a year now drooling over different build threads and I love seeing how much time and effort people put into their cars, as well as all the positive energy and comments.

    I have been lucky enough to come across a 2004 Audi Ultrasport, black on black, 1.8L turbo, 6 speed manual.. It is a car I have always loved, so I decided to drive 13 hours to Quebec to check it out with the hopes of buying it(Not many of these cars come up for sale near me, and when they do, they are always overpriced) After going over the car for an hour and checking out its history, it was mine and I drove all the way home with a huge smile on my face.

    The Ultrasports came with upgraded front and rear bumpers, a tuned and lowered sport suspension, side skirts, RS4 wheels, small spoiler and a few other small adjustments.

    Here she is the day I picked her up.. Don't mind the horrible plasti-dipped rear lights.

    As soon as I got home, we got right to work on all the essentials
    -Oil change
    -Oil filter change
    -Coolant flush
    -Checked all hoses

    Then had it inspected, saftied and etested.(Canadian laws)

    [IMG]IMG_2897 by Drew Woodall, on Flickr[/IMG]

    Car stayed exactly how I got it(Besides the plastidip lights.. I took that off immediately) for a month or so as I was working a lot on my summer break.

    One thing that really bothered me was the amount of rust on the body.. See here

    So I decided to do some research and found out that Audi has a 12 year rustcare program that covers any rust issues you have on the vehicle. I jumped all over it, and immediately started my claim with the local dealership, who then submitted the claim to Audi.. We hassled with them over it for a few months(Just as the forums said we would) and sent numerous emails and pictures back and forth with the dealership! Long story short, they gave me two brand new front fenders and one rear and paid for some rust care damage around the car. To be plain and simple, I had the car totally removed of rust and had a partial respray and paint correction.

    Heres the car in the shop!

    So the car took about two weeks, two painfully long weeks! Meanwhile at school we like to put construction cones on our friends cars...

    [IMG]IMG_1530 by Drew Woodall, on Flickr[/IMG]

    Back on track.. Here is the car right back from the shop. Literally brand new body.. Rust erased! I cannot thank J&J Dominion Body and Collision enough for their great work.

    [IMG]IMG_2942 by Drew Woodall, on Flickr[/IMG]

    Then my window regulator failed and I had no driverside window.. Common problem with the B6 chassis.

    [IMG]IMG_2434 by Drew Woodall, on Flickr[/IMG]

    Next week my coolant flange starts to go on me! Spent an afternoon changing it and doing another flush.

    [IMG]IMG_2902 by Drew Woodall, on Flickr[/IMG]

    [IMG]IMG_2901 by Drew Woodall, on Flickr[/IMG]

    Here is a little project I had going, but sold it to focus on the Audi.. A 2001 Volkswagen GTI, 1.8Turbo with a 5 speed manual transmission. I had it on Bilstein PSS9 Coilovers and a small turboback exhaust.

    [IMG]IMG_0766 by Drew Woodall, on Flickr[/IMG]


    I picked these up for the Audi because I was ballin on a budget.. DAI Autobahn wheels 18x8.5 with a +35 offset. They came red, I stripped them and sent them for a powdercoat by a friend.

    [IMG]IMG_0724 by Drew Woodall, on Flickr[/IMG]

    [IMG]IMG_2149 by Drew Woodall, on Flickr[/IMG]

    [IMG]IMG_2413 by Drew Woodall, on Flickr[/IMG]

    I never mounted them, as I decided I wanted something better..

    Sold the wheels.

    Here is my car with my brothers 7.3 powerstroke diesel F250..

    [IMG]IMG_2182 by Drew Woodall, on Flickr[/IMG]

    Then was out in Massachusetts with my family and saw this clean GTI.. Makes me miss mine.. Sigh

    [IMG]IMG_1608 by Drew Woodall, on Flickr[/IMG]

    [IMG]IMG_1607 by Drew Woodall, on Flickr[/IMG]

    Whoever built it, you did a damn good job! It was so clean.

    Then I picked up a B7 Audi center console and started the swap(It gives you two cuplholders)

    [IMG]IMG_2913 (1) by Drew Woodall, on Flickr[/IMG]

    [IMG]IMG_2914 (1) by Drew Woodall, on Flickr[/IMG]

    [IMG]IMG_2907 by Drew Woodall, on Flickr[/IMG]

    It was so filthy underneath the old console..

    [IMG]IMG_2915 (1) by Drew Woodall, on Flickr[/IMG]

    My girlfriend helped me clean everything out before it went back in, she is awesome and supports everything I do with this car. Dream girl right?

    [IMG]IMG_2912 by Drew Woodall, on Flickr[/IMG]

    Here is the final product, sorry it is kind of dirty! It is a great swap and look better than the old console.

    [IMG]IMG_2917 by Drew Woodall, on Flickr[/IMG]

    So my car has been the same for the last little bit as it is winter here in Ontario.. But I did pick up a roof rack and snapped a few pics before it snowed! She also got a nice detail..

    [IMG]IMG_3255 by Drew Woodall, on Flickr[/IMG]

    [IMG]IMG_3243 by Drew Woodall, on Flickr[/IMG]

    [IMG]IMG_3253 by Drew Woodall, on Flickr[/IMG]

    So as we move through winter, I am planning the cars new setup.. It will be completely different in the spring..

    Picked up a set of 19x10 Rotiform Cast SNA's powdercoated candy copper.. It was time for real wheels..

    I lack photos of the following modifications, just as some were done by the previous owner, and some I totally forgot to take pictures.

    How she sits right now..
    -Unitronic stage 1+ chip
    -Forge Splitter valve
    -Turboback exhaust
    -APR 3" tips
    -Kenwood double din
    -Single xenon headlights
    -De-badged hatch
    -B7 center console



    I would love to see some feedback from you guys.. I am open to ideas on specs and more.

            Nice car! Your winters in canada must be rough because even here in PA my B5 A4 is rust free except for a few deep rock chips. Keep up the good work!

                Thanks! And yes they get pretty bad sometimes, I had the body completely redone so there is absolutely 0 rust and I have been keeping a very close eye ever since.

                I would love to see your B5.

                  Thanks! Lots to come still, just followed you on instagram. I will shoot you a message if I am near the shop. I go through London a fair amount. I can't wait to see the bagged B6, I have been thinking about going on air for a while, but for now I want to stay static.

                  I know who to go to for air ride now though!

                        Update, stay with me as a lot has changed with the car..

                        I took apart my front grilles, sanded them down and painted them. IMG_4118 by Drew Woodall, on Flickr
                        IMG_4117 by Drew Woodall, on Flickr

                        Swapped out my side markers for a different and more subtle look,
                        IMG_4138 by Drew Woodall, on Flickr
                        IMG_4139 by Drew Woodall, on Flickr
                        IMG_4140 by Drew Woodall, on Flickr

                        Then I moved onto some bigger things, took off my front bumper(on this car it is a huge PITA) and gave it a good cleaning and upgraded some hoses and piping on the car for the turbo.
                        IMG_4283 by Drew Woodall, on Flickr

                        My fog light was not working, here is why..
                        IMG_4132 by Drew Woodall, on Flickr

                        Here is my brother soldering everything so we could put the bumper back on..
                        IMG_4324 by Drew Woodall, on Flickr

                        Now we get to the stuff you guys have been waiting for,

                        H&R coilovers.. To the ground she goes..
                        IMG_4288 by Drew Woodall, on Flickr

                        Wheels!! Rotiform SNA's powdercoated candy copper.

                        19x10 with 225/35/19s

                        IMG_4291 by Drew Woodall, on Flickr

                        Doing a meth injection kit on my best friends Mazda Speed3, the thing is ridiculously fast.

                        IMG_4244 by Drew Woodall, on Flickr

                        IMG_4149 by Drew Woodall, on Flickr
                        Car is fully bolted now, making close to 350 whp.

                        I added a Deval carbon fiber splitter to the car..

                        IMG_4366 by Drew Woodall, on Flickr
                        IMG_4364 by Drew Woodall, on Flickr

                        Swapped out my tail lights for and LED setup,
                        IMG_4367 by Drew Woodall, on Flickr

                        I love the new look, the lights transform the look of the back of the car.

                        Here is how the car is sitting right now, I picked up a Nikon D5100 and have been learning to shoot.
