JDMFairlady's Dakota Gray 2015 Audi AllRoad Build Thread

[JDMFairlady21]

Hi guys

Just wanted to finally create a thread to document the progress on my daily driver build for my 2015 Audi Allroad.

Got the car beginning of this year brand new from Lynbrook Audi, through Barbara (She is awesome btw!)

Vehicle Specs:
2015 B8.5 Chassis
Premium Plus w/ Nav | Tech pkg, Sport pkg, Brown Leather, B&O Sound System, Pano Roof

So the goal is to end up with a very nice daily driver with light mods. Looking into air ride and some nice wheels to get her fully up to par with my weekend toy ;)

Here are some pics of her in a shop after VAG-COM coding :)









10/23 Today she got her first performance mod... Magnaflow Cat Back Exhaust! Loving it so far.

Look good!

[Jsivadas]

Car looks great! Can you do a sound clip of the exhaust? I was planning on getting the magnaflow for my allroad too.

[Lambda13]

Looks fantastic.

The Sport pkg didn't come with the flat bottom steering wheel?

Mine did.....


Again reminding me how I regret not getting the brown leather interior.

Great looking vehicle.

About time you posted pictures of your Allroad, VIPR Leader. I hear the guy that VAG-COM'ed your car is a very cool guy.. Definitely a beautiful ride...just stay away from the Cross Island Parkway.... HA!

Subscribed...wish I could've found brown leather when I was searching - love the interior.

[JDMFairlady21]

thanks for the love guys... I'll have sound clips made hopefully next week. Right now, waiting on receiving my AccuAir setup and slinging some decent but WIDE wheels before snow hits the ground.

I want to experiment with 19's but most AR guys are putting 20's on... anybody have pics of ARs lowered with aftermarket 19s?

[Jsivadas]

Here's some pics of my AR on my 19" work meisters. I haven't had a chance to get rubber mount on yet though since i just got my bags in.

[JDMFairlady21]

Jsivadas... looks like its going to be a pretty sweet build you got going there. Do you mind sharing the whels specs? Also my main concern is the tire size at 19".... more so the sidewall height, will have to run 35 series i would assume. Now will it make the wheel look smaller on the car is the question?

Wheel specs are 19x10.5 +12 | 19x10.5 +16 I had these wheels on my S5 and ran 255/35/19



I'm worried that they might look small on the AR but we'll find out once I get a chance to put some tires on.. I'll keep you posted.

[nicobaires]

very nice!

[kaz02a4]

This. This is very good. Looking forward to updates with the new wheels.

[BarEaterB8]

Love the interior color

[dropshadow]

Looking forward to seeing what is in store for this car. I've added this thread to the B8 allroad megathread too.

Jsivadas, do you have a build thread anywhere? I'll add it to the thread too.

[JDMFairlady21]

thanks dropshadow!

so i'm thinking of going with some 20x10.5 +25 offset CAST wheels for now, since it is winter, but i hate skinny wheels lol. Just looks too weird to be on air suspension with sunken in wheels. winter gives me major withdrawals from not being able to take out this little thing... :)

[dropshadow]

Well now I officially hate you.

[Jsivadas]

Well now I officially hate you.

That makes 2 of us..


Jesus!!! That thing is gorgeous!!

My dream car

[lokak]

love that brown interior

did you have any fitment issues with the magnaflow exhaust? I have been looking to get it, but was a little worried after reading this:

[JDMFairlady21]

Iokak we did encounter a fitment issue, but mostly the exhaust tip alignment on the passenger side. After seeing some of the threads, I didn't even bother calling them up and decided to just take care of it on my end. Saves me from getting aggravated on the phone lol.
