    Default Interesting Post from the Audi Community......

    Is customizing cars a thing of the past in America? Is building what you want shunned by your peers? I don't know where I am going with this post, but it here bishes.

    Read all, but ESPECIALLY the bold.

Besides that, the guy built a car with the styling and comfort of an RS4, custom paint and other touches to personalize it, and an economical engine in a country where gas is exhorbitantly expensive. Would it make sense for a rich guy in the US to do this? Probably not, but it fits perfectly with what he wanted and the conditions he had to work with. And this last comment is not aimed specifically at BSIXER, but is meant as more of a shotgun blast at the whole community. Why do most people here seem to follow the crowd and hate anything that's different? And why do you have to question people's motives for customising their cars? Too many people ask why and criticise. The better question is "Why not?" Constructive criticism is great, but dogging someone's work without understanding where they are coming from is just plain stupid and arrogant.
    Now look at the car built: Taken from a B6 A4 to a B7 RS4. An RS4 in Norway runs ~$220,000 USD.










    So, to all you haters who can't appreciate people who like to customize their cars/trucks, Kick rocks. It's their money and they can spend it how they please. Sure this car is still badass, but don't hate on your boys civic because he did not choose the JDM golden road, lol. Damn I am bored.

    about the only thing i hate in customizing are chrome rims and body kits...i can usually find something nice about a car...hell i've even seen body kits and chrome rims that i adore to the point of wanting to own.

    Pretty much every part is OEM RS4 material; complete front end, rear quarters, all sheet metal, wheels, suspension bits (minus KW Coils), etc.

    Truly a piece of work. I would KILL for the RS4 interior!

    Exactly! Asshole Americans were ATTEMPTING to bash him because they figured it would be cheaper for him to just go and buy a used/new RS4. Then they got pissed because he did not do a motorswap. He retained the TDI motor that puts out may 140hp, but he built the car to LOOK good, be comfortable, and handle like a beast. He built it to HIS specs, not what everyone WOULD have done IF they had the money.

    Same shit we see here on these boards.

    yea thats gayness. car is beautiful. i mean yea an engine swap would be good..but why spend all that if its not what YOU want?

    if i find a 22re-t for my truck i'd get that over a 1jz, because its even more rare

    Are you sure it originated as a B6 A4 and not a B7? Lines look too similar to a B7 to me.
    Oh, and it looks fucking proper. Fuck the haters.

    I stand corrected.

    Wow. For sure one of the most detailed and well executed conversions I have ever seen.
