Nice job Kyle. One of the few examples where I'd rather have the model than the real car. It looks good!!

Nice work Kyle. I have the Esci kit in the stash, slightly different body style.

Nice work Kyle. I have the Esci kit in the stash, slightly different body style. Thank you!! I'm digging the Esci kit too. I'd build another of these in a different body style or livery. I enjoy the Rally builds, All two of them I have done so far. Lol

Kyle, Very nice build on an old Tamiya Oldie but Goodie. I really like those bucket lights with covers as they add quite a lot to the over all visual look joel

I agree about the extra driving lights. Adds some interest to the front of any 80s hatchback. Thank you! Yeah a lot of detail painting in the engine bay but it still ends up looking the part pretty well. I didn’t even know the Esci kit was a thing before this thread.

Back in the day the Audi Quattro was King of the Rally circuit, so when I had the chance to buy a 2002 Audi A6 Quattro Gray Market car ( deep discount from the Mercedes dealer Yoli worked at) I jumped , it was so far advanced from anything on the market even being 8 years old, when I got it. Traction control, PDL semi auto trans , yup 3 ways to shift it, body sway control, auto adjusting headlamps that followed the dips and bumps in the road so they never blinded on coming traffic, rear fog lights, leather heated seats and steering wheel, All wheel drive 40/60 split. Outrageous Bose sound system ( something like 20 speakers?) and more. I drove it 10 years loved every minute , the 300 HP V-6 had enough power to make a few people look twice. I took it to the dealer and they went through the entire car making sure it was perfect when I started driving it. What a Car. Dont knock Audi's that car made the people at Mercedes Jealous! Everyone where Yoli worked was blown away. I bought it because of the Rally cars succes, well that was one reason....Chris

Every company makes vehicles that have issues. And I’d have bought the S4 but the maintenance records were spotty.

Nice! I always liked the look of those cars, especially his mad sibling, the Group B S1.
