Stasis Engineering just sent us a link to their YouTube video featuring their new B8 Audi S4 exhaust system!! (click topic title to view entire story and video)

Product information and pricing to be added to our website soon…

Jon continues to accumulate parts for his “RS4-Conversion” project. With a huge exterior transformation and interior upgrade behind him, the B6 S4’s power train will now get some much-deserved attention!

Details about the build will be shared once we begin work in the next couple of weeks. Meanwhile, we’ll continue drooling over these parts…

The STaSIS Street Sport Suspension is ACHTUN!NG’s most popular coil-over setup and we’re offering incredible ACHTOBERFEST PRICING so even more of you can get in on the deal! This kit is by far the best “bang-for-buck” coil-over kit on the market and offers superior ride quality and comfort despite its performance characteristics.

VW Mk5/Mk6: List price: $1245.00 | ACHTOBERFEST PRICE: $1058.25!!

Audi (B6/B7) A4: List price: $1269.00 | ACHTOBERFEST PRICE: $1078.65!!

The last time Jon gave us an update on his RS4 wide body conversion project, JMI had positioned OEM B7 RS4 body panels to Jon’s B6 in preparation for welding, sanding, priming, and paint. Today we are updated with many pictures showing the exterior transformation of such a massive project.

A roll cage also ended up finding its way in there, another fine job done by the boys at JMI.

Then while browsing the online forums, Jon came across a set of 20″ Work Brombacher Wheels for a price that was unbelievable and impossible to pass up – even if he wasn’t planning to run the wheels on the car in the first place! Then of course a test-fit would determine how well they’d fit with the new, wider fenders.

As if Work wheels and a wide body conversion weren’t enough for this project, Jon picked up a set of Alcon Mono6 Big Brakes in the 370mm version in hopes that it would fill the void left behind the 20″ wheels… Even the largest rotor in the Stasis/Alcon line-up wasn’t enough!

Carbon fiber found it’s way around Jon’s stock B-pillars. Jon also decided to make his own carbon fiber splitter for the front bumper. For his first attempt at doing anything with fiberglass or carbon fiber, these turned out pretty damned good!

We hope to get more updates later this week. Jon unfortunately missed the deadline to have the car ready by WaterWerks 2009 but one more PacNW Audi event is on the near horizon and we hope to see the project complete by then.

Daniel’s Audi (B6) A4 was in need of some new running gear so it was left with us to receive a set of Hartmann HRS4-DTM Wheels in 19×8, et35. Daniel also knew that throwing 19s wouldn’t be enough to correct the over-all stance and appearance on the car and felt the Stasis Streetsport Coil-Over kit would be the best option for him.

The “Achtuning Signature Ride Height” puts the car just above the top of the tire, and when the suspension settles it should be about the perfect set-up.

John’s Audi TT received a good deal of upgrades courtesy of an APR 3″ turbo-back exhaust and Stasis Streetsport suspension.

The turbo-back exhaust is a completely stainless-steel, mandrel-bent system that looks stunning beneath John’s car. At idle it has a nice low tone, deeper than stock. Once you hit the throttle though the car really makes its presence known.

Go wide with H&R spacers… Nathan did! He brought back his B7 Audi A4 to push out the Titanium Package wheels out to improve the stance with his new suspension upgrade, courtesy of Stasis Streetsport coil-overs.

10mm and 15mm H&R DR-style spacers were commissioned front and rear respectively and the end result is just about as aggressive as it’ll get with the current stance… Me likes!!

Flynn had one goal in mind for his 1997 Audi A4 1.8T, and that was to give it a performance make-over that would put this earlier-modeled B5 A4 among the rest of the “Achtuned” B5 A4s out there.

An APR ECU upgrade , a Techtonics Tuning turbo-back exhaust, and a Stasis Streetsport Suspension were all ingredients for Flynn’s plans to revive his A4 into a car he’d enjoy driving even more on a daily basis. The ECU had to be sent directly to APR for the upgrade so while the car was here waiting for the return of it’s new brain we decided to tackle the other performance upgrades.

We got the call from Adrian around 7pm Thursday evening. He mentioned he would be finishing up a military training session at 2am in LA that next morning, then arriving in Seattle early Friday. He asked what we might be able to do for his recently purchased Mk4 GTI. As it turned out, we had plenty readily available for him to get a good jump-start on his modding bug.Adrian ended up spending a big portion of his day with Achtuning as he asked us to transform his VW Mk4 GTI into an even better performing European hot hatch, courtesy of a Stasis Streetsport Coil-Over Kit and APR ECU Upgrade.

To Adrian’s surprise, we found that the GTI he picked up used had already been equipped with APR software, just locked out. We glady unlocked his software for him which opened up the budget for more performance parts. As it turned out, the brakes were also in need of attention and since we had a couple of StopTech’s 328×28mm Big Brake Kits on the shelf, he decided to go for it!

Adrian will have a chance to test out StopTech’s claims of having the best over-all braking distance improvement without the worry of over-working the master cylinder as brake bias is kept balanced with the appropriately sized brake pistons for the Mk4. Having larger, cleaner, and bright red calipers to show off that stopping power is just icing on the cake!

We wrapped up the Stasis Streetsport Coil-Over install on Nathan’s A4 last night. After the springs settle we’ll take a look and see how far the wheels can get pushed out with some H&R spacers as Nathan likes the Titanium Package 18″ wheels that came with the car but wants a more aggressive stance.
