Ynnekdude's C6 A6 3.0T Mod Thread
I figured I should just create a build thread instead of making a new thread with every mod. Timeline:
Car purchased June 2009:
Tint and clear bra July 2009:
18" VMR 708s w/Michelin Pilot Alpin PA3s for winter November 2009:
Water Pump fails December 2009:
Valentine 1 hardwired and Laser Interceptor Dual Installed November 2010:
Custom Magnaflow X-Piped exhaust installed by Trexturk(does great work) March 2011:

APR 93 Octane tune March 2011:

"Prime Paddles" installed August 2011:
Stoptech ST-60 355mm BBK installed* by Trexturk August 2011:
Also detailed the car and applied Aquartz Titanium which I bought from Detailer's Domain:
*Matching rear rotors and pads are on their way. They should be arriving today. Skyler@Achtuning has been very helpful and has gone above and beyond what I would expect. I would not hesitate to order from Achtuning or Skyler.
Plans
1.) KW V1 Coilovers
2.) H&R Rear Sway
3.) APR Pulley (This will jump to front if it is released before I order KW and sway)
4.) Ocarbon CF interior trim
5.) RS6 Front grill with black surround (or aluminum...?)
6.) Test pipes or HFCs (if some that actually work are released)
7.) Custom rear valance for quad-tip exhaust
8.) Supercharger upgrade?

Great post! Now you got my mod juices flowing again. I have the 2009 non-sport version and it came with the ugly 10-spoke wheels. I bought same wheels as yours and they're sitting in my garage... just need to order tires for it. Have done some mods you mentioned as well (tint, clear bra and rear sways). One cheap mod that made a big difference was replacing the yellow side markers with smoked ones:
http://www.ecstuning.com/Audi-A3-FWD...kers/ES251554/
They're only listed as $5 and they look black during the day.
By the way, how much did the Stoptech calipers set you back? My stock ones are getting oxidized and it developed rattle that dealer can't eliminate. This could be my next mod. Thanks.

I got the Stoptech front BBK, rear rotors, pads, and ss lines for $3000.00. Threw in some Motul brake fluid and it came in a little over that. Talk to Skyler from Achtuning.com and I'm sure he will hook you up. Just the front BBK retails at ~$3200.00 I believe.
