Jesse's Nogaro RS5 Sportback build thread

[Djpeaksd]

Whats up Audi fam,

Quick history: Had a 2016 S7 and loved it, sold it after a couple of years and got a 2018 Porsche Panamera Turbo, loved that as well but it was involved in an accident and finally was deemed a total loss (Thankfully). Needed a car now and fell in love with this wonderfull Nogaro blue RS5 sportback. I was able to get an amazing deal on it from Audi South Coast in Orange, CA, so if anyone needs a contact, I can share my guys info.

I bought the car 2 weeks ago. Here it is on the dealership floor.





First thing I needed to do was tint the windows so I got the windows done the next day, 15% all around.





Honestly I just am not a fan of these milled wheels at all. I don't think they match the look of the car whatsoever. I personally like the flag black optic wheels better, but would have still changed those out as well. So I reached out to Sean at Tag Motorsports who I had worked with in the past, and has been fantastic. They installed ABT Has springs, Vossen forged 3 piece wheels 20x11 all around and the AWE AirGate intake. They also hooked me up and painted the center Vossen logo in Nogaro blue. Guys I couldn't be happier with the car, it looks so freaking good in person.










So i'm not done Yet!! Next up, we are going to start pumping some more boost through this beast! Also Caliper color change and radiator upgrade are on deck.





I am absolutely loving this platform so far. I will update more as things happen.

Hahahaha!!! So I took it to palm springs this past weekend and it was so dirty. I had to clean it last night for proper pics.

That's hot! I personally like the factory wheels better. But damn, that Nogaro! Love the exclusive colors. Also, is that what looks like a Merlin purple S4 in the background at the dealership?!

I’ve bought both an A5 and later an 18’ S5. Who’s your contact? They’re fairly tough negotiators.

With all of the amazing cars that go through your shop on the daily, I have a hard time believing that, but I'll take it!

NO WAY! We love it when a plan comes together with fun projects and comes out this spectacular!

PS - I live in Encinitas too - with the Nardo ABT RS5-R Sportback, we should get the two together for a fun beach shoot!

Feel free to pass by and drive the RS5-R too with the ABT Powerkit, i think youll love it!

Damn that is hot!

Nogaro + Carbon = Win

Just needs lack of orange side marker. Got some lightly used Eurolights aching to get together with a nogaro RS5

Ok so my caliper guy did my calipers over the weekend. I couldn't be happier with the results!! I went for a color matched look. It did cost more than I am used to because he had to buy a quart of Nogaro blue paint, however it is the look I was going for. I also was at an event yesterday and wearing my bright ass blue suit (which I love) so I had to get some shots as well, because after all I like my suits like my cars!

[Nox05]

Looks great man! Pics probably don't do it justice has to be amazing in person.
