I don't own a mx5 anymore, which does kind of suck. but, I still frequent this forum, it seems to be one of the more active forums, plus it's really easy to wind some of you up

Anyway, I sold my MX5 late last year, unfortunately I sold it with the plates (TROLOL) as well. But, shit happens.
I purchased a 2004 (2005 shape) Audi A6 C6 3.2 V6 Quattro. At first, I regretted it, and hated it with a passion, but, after driving it more, looking at the possibilities I have started to start enjoying it more and more.

Anyway, words bore the shit out of me. So.. here are some pictures..

The day I purchased it.

A shitty iPhone pic

The first thing I have done to it, the blue foglights.

I needed new tyres for my wof.. So I got new wheels with tyres.. 19x9s..

I have told a few people the plan with this car. It's a slow plan, but it should be quite.. Cool... once it's all done.

hi chris, nice to see you are still around

I saw trolol at automania last weekend and it was kind of a running joke when people would mention it and we would mention its hard life and how the po po's love it

we should catch up sometime, it would be nice to see you again

Mrgrey! Was on the look out for you on Sunday. I spent the weekend with Tsoob getting the event ready. Was a bit of a headache.

Yeah .... TROLOL.. I miss that car. But onto bigger and better things.

chris · Post by **chris** » Fri Apr 11, 2014 8:45 am

New wheels all fitted.
They look pretty damn good. I'm quite happy

Angreal · Post by **Angreal** » Fri Apr 11, 2014 9:47 am

Things are certainly bigger including the photo size

The wheels are legitimate Audi wheels... What happened to you Chris? You've changed

chris · Post by **chris** » Fri Apr 11, 2014 9:56 am

Yeah.. Sorry about the photo size >.<

Legit wheels... On a car owned by me?! IMPOSSIBRU..

However, this isn't even my final form. More legit wheels to come.
But, as I have to do it.. It will be ridiculous fitment.

Chris gonna Chris.

Exactly. I'm glad you understand!

Well, I finally got around to removing that god awful towbar over the weekend.

Going to be calling up MTS today to find out what the hell is going on with my bags... It was meant to have started 3 weeks ago..

If they aren't going to start within the next fortnight, I will start collecting the parts up myself.

Acuair will be the goer I thinks.

Annnnd they bit off more than they can chew.

After getting my finance and everything sorted.. Cocks.

So - the collections/organization has begun. Tank is on its way, this weekend I will (probably) be mocking up the mounting for the tank + a tool chest in the boot.

Once I have that sorted, I will be purchasing coilovers, and bags, then onto the compressor, and air management system. Then a busy weekend in the garage trying to get it all fitted.

Thinking once I get the coils, I will test fit them, to get low for a day as well as practicing the install.

Don't worry - that's not happening any more

Instead taking my time, building the bags, plates, tank, compressor, running wires and installing in a timely fashion

Saving this here for my own sake.

chris · Post by **chris** » Wed Apr 16, 2014 11:27 am

Time to really get this show on the road.
Parcels!
Going to be building my mounting solution this weekend, hopefully my fasteners arrive in time, but shit, so excite.

Now that I am collecting parts, I can really take my time in narrowing down each and every detail.

chris · Post by **chris** » Wed Apr 16, 2014 11:38 am

Aw yisss. A note worthy update.

I have a package. And in this package is a key player to progress. My tank.

Not a big tank, but I'm not planning on bouncing around 247 with my bags
.

Another picture will be chucked up later today. But things are happening.. So much win.

I just had a nasty FLASHBACK of the image of the guy with the worlds largest testicles. They were like those old things called moonhoppers.

So that's what was in the box!

Nice, black, small, clean... Winning.

I think Chris is being deceptive... this is in fact what the tank is for...

chris · Post by **chris** » Fri Apr 18, 2014 12:01 pm

Busy day and it's only 1158.

Parked the car on a slope, and got rather excited.

My old tail light... Not looking too good...

Halfway through the replacement process..

Annnd a new one!

Annnnd the mock up of the tank..

Yeah, not going to be going there.. On that angle at least.. I needs moar wood.
