Alright... I was going to wait to start this one but Boredom at work has overtaken me. This was originally going to be in a 93 S car, but my Three year Search for an Avant I wanted resulted in this...



I had been stock piling parts for a while, and scored a car from a friend that had a shit ton already done. The car was neglected and unfortunately was better off parted. I acquired it through the failed attempts of a stock location tubular manifold GT30r project.

She came with a 2bennett 01E 6 Speed, GT30, Koni's and H&R's, Stromung, Cloth candian s6 plus interior, Porsche 993 brakes, Jb Racing flywheel, a few small bits from 034 (throttle cam, short shift) euro heckblende and a few other little things.

So far I have bought 034 IIc witha plug and play harness from s2 on the way on here, 65lb injectors, 034 density trans mounts and snubber mount. Im sorta sketchy about running the crank trigger wheel so im going to hold off until I have the money to get the steel 60-2 Flywheel from 034. Other than that and the exhaust manifold everything is almost ready to go in.

As for the Avant, She has 106k on her and came with euro bumpers eibach and bilsteins (blown bilsteins) and a missing headliner. The car is a very clean non winter start but has a few marks on the underside that need to be fixed due to the previous owner having it so low.

Progress will be slow and mostly what will be seen is things coming out until after the christmas expendatures. I've spent lots of funds trying to get this and the Scirocco finished at the same time...

Canadian S6+? I don't think that they got those cars.

I don't think so either But I forget what seats they are. dark blue cloth

In the cave for the winter.


Hopefully this will be looking a bit better by springtime...


I started polishing and cleaning things up

Seats are out of a Canadian 97 s6...

Love this car... whose garage is the car in, in that first pic? I cant wait until next spring when we both have AAN's with GT30R's strapped to their sides

Thats back in the old saugersleaze

Tomorrow starts motronic out and this in

Intake manifold out, making some room to move around to put the 034 in, polishing and looking for things in need of replacing...


Looking for things that need to be replaced... oh wait that thing i broke. Where can I get new brass niples to replace this one? Any auto parts store right? Never broke one of these before.

look like a vacuum T is in your future...you wont fix that weld/solder it shut and T the other

Ive got a spare AAN intake if you cant fix that one man...

Im going to see If I can get it out tomorrow with an easy out. I don't break $hit! lol

I started pulling the wiring harness tonight. I have it most of the way out but im trying to avoid cutting it or removing the dash to get the wires out that go over to the fuse box. Any tricks to doing this? I was planning on putting it up for sale but if the work/price I can get for it doesn't make sense cutting it is.








The fuse in the last picture has a ground that goes to the aux water pump relay. Is the plug and play harness for the aan set up to run that with IIc?

Also the brake resovoir sensor is in the factory harness, does that run through the ecu or does it just run through the gauge cluster?

Anyone?

weird I got a harness out of an S6 without cuttin...Its been a year or more so I cant really help in pointers but Im pretty sure I didnt cut anything

lol Anyone else?

Heres some more things laying around waiting to go in. They need to be cleaned up, and im deciding whether or not to reseal them or not. Need new Rotor rings which are $200 a side. Ouch

Some progress today. Pulled the rest of the harness out. Also found a boost leak that was letting boost bleed through my diverter valve.



Freed up some room under the dash for the 034 to take its place. A few things need to be cleaned up and fixed here and there before I start putting in the new harness.

Did a heater core for my friend in his 93 s4 the other day along with a few other little things. I spent a little time cleaning up the engine bay today, and did a little more polishing. I was surpsised how pitted the valve cover was. Its still not finished but its close.




Tomorrows plan is to lay in the new wiring harness and figure out how I want to mount the new computer and relay board. The 60-2 flywheel from 034 will be on its way tomorrow if all goes well. Ill also be picking up some cloth tape that Caterpillar wraps their wiring harnesses in from a buddy when I go home for thanksgiving. Looks real good and cleans up the harness a lot.

I want to build one of these too, looking forward to seeing the outcome.

I bought this for my next wiring project- it arrived really quickly too. I've used it a bit already and I am pleased with it- makes life easier.

Would have been nice to have this when I was working on my Scirocco. That thing is sorta on the back burner for now. Its three and a half hours away from where I live at the moment. Basically just needs some body work, paint and a few little things. Im hoping the wagon comes out well. It took me a while to find what I wanted. I had a 93 sedan before this. Loved it but I had to have an avant.

I know how you feel about the projects and the avants- My shop is 2 hours away and now has no heat because the furnace went out.

Your avant is making me desire a urs avant- yours is beautiful and your sig photo is really nice!

I using a salamander heater in the garage I have where i at... probably going to get lung cancer but ill be warm.

Thanks man, there are a couple floating around. Snatch one up and take care of it! Keep em in enthusiast hands.

My sig photo would be better without the half sided shed in the backgroud haha

I thought you have had this car for a while now. Or am I getting you mixed up with some else that has a silver avant in their sig line? Some day I will have a s6 avant. I love my 95 A6 avant even with the weak 12v and auto trans @ 250K You should see all the tools you can pack in it with the back seat removed and the 3 row.
