B8 A5 build thread (long overdue)

[A6sport]

I've received many PM inquiries about my A5 and finally wanted to document most of the mods.

As far as I'm concerned, I'm finished... but never say never. I'm very happy with the final product. Turned out well. Purchased from Audi St. Paul February 2018 as a winter car. That all changed quickly.

It looks pretty good in stock form.

Nicely done...those Heartman’s look good with the RS5 red calipers!! The APR tune really makes a big difference doesn’t it??

It does... I'm not so concerned with not having the an S5 motor. It's quite quick enough for me. Hell, I hardly ever get to stretch it's legs because I have an aversion to speeding tickets. Just got my first one in about 10yrs in May.

So what was the cost as purchased and how much for all of the mods? Where did you buy your parts?

Thanks for your help,
