Whilst John is beavering away on the C900 (and I eagerly await another progress video to share with you all!), a little update on how the S6 is getting on :-)
Hello from across the pond in the US. Beautiful S6 Avant. I have a pearl 93 S4 sedan and have had a few S6 Avants. This one is spot on. Good upgrades, I have the same taste in OEM+ approach. Would love the info on the 18z caliper bracket. I just adjusted my 034 shifter too. Keep the updates coming because this a a fantastic machine
Hi! Thanks for checking in! Pearl is one of my favourite colours for these, lucky man! The calipers are just Brembo 18z that were fitted to the Porsche Cayenne, and the caliper brackets from Epytech (you'll find them on their website). They're very helpful and ensured I had all the required items, Inc the T4 brake lines. All the best!
Looking superb, Martyn! 👌 Gutted I wasn’t in the best position to buy this at the time but equally so glad to see you’ve still got it and it’s getting some love it greatly deserves 👍👍
Thanks Kent, hope all is great with you😁 It's right up there as one of my most favorite cars I've owned: it even has the edge on build quality of my e39 M5 and Alpina B10, the practicality (if not the absolute cargo space) of the V70R and the performance of a (stock!) 9000 Aero, but with a properly iconic engine and a lovely exhaust note - and of course all-weather traction that the others would not get anywhere near. I reckon 350 - 375bhp would be the sweet-spot for this as a properly rapid but unstressed and reliable daily, which actually isn't that expensive to obtain: it's pretty much the same recipe and cost as 9000 tuning.
@@martynsboostedswedes Good here thanks, hopefully the same your end? They're proper nice cars and you are 100% correct, the exhaust note on them is fantastic 👍
Hello there from Portugal, I'm just looking for a nice tone muffler for my car. Something a bit more sporty than stock, which is very quiet. What kind of muffler do you have on it? Cheers
Agreed, the stock system is very quiet: you could have the resonator removed with a straight pipe and keep the back box? To be honest, that sounded nearly as good as my cat-back Supersprint system for a fraction of the price

Glad to see you on the go again, Galvanized bodies on these , is that right Martyn
Not galvanized on these, but on the S8's of the same vintage

Thank you my friend, I appreciate that! The aim is to sympathetically improve it: perhaps call it OEM+ 😅
Just discovered your channel. Nice to see another older Audi apprenticed!
It's looking great, hope it features more!
Thank you! I'll shift this content to an S6 Playlist this week and more regularly document it. Thanks again!

Beautiful! In the market for a set of those mud flaps…where did you get them from?
Thank you! The mudflaps are a factory fitment
@@martynsboostedswedes I figured…many US cars didn’t come with them.
