00:00:48,900 --> 00:00:55,100
Hi! We started working on the Audi A6, to 
make the car a bit more offroad ready.

2
00:00:55,200 --> 00:01:04,000
We started off by putting on a set of 17s 
with 245/65 brutal offroad tires.

3
00:01:04,500 --> 00:01:10,500
Obviously they couldn't fit in the standard 
form, we cut the arches to make them fit,

4
00:01:11,100 --> 00:01:19,300
Then we also took out all the fender liners, 
we also had to hammer it in some places and 
even had to cut the ends of the sills.

5
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:26,200
To make it physically fit and for the wheel 
to be able to turn freely. We haven't tested 
it yet,

6
00:01:26,300 --> 00:01:32,400
So we'll drive a couple laps around here 
to test how it works before going on any 
serious drives.

7
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:39,100
There are 50mm spacers on each corner, it 
seems like it will work this way.

8
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:59,900
Since we are preparing for offroad use, a 
winch is a must for the car! So in place 
of the factory aluminum crash bar we put 
a steel box section and we fabricated a mechanism 
onto that, which holds our winch and these 
rollers too!

9
00:02:00,500 --> 00:02:11,800
It came from Titanium, a 5.5 ton one with 
24 meters of steel cable, with a remote and 
there's a killswitch at the front.

10
00:02:12,300 --> 00:02:22,000
We don't have much experience with winches 
yet, we'll have to try, but I think this 
will suffice for the kind of terrain we'll 
dare to take this car to.

11
00:02:22,700 --> 00:02:30,000
Apart from this, another very important aspect 
of any offroad and rally build is a proper 
underbody protection, so we took care of 
that too.

12
00:02:30,900 --> 00:02:41,600
Coming from this box section, that we used 
to strengthen the front of the car, we came 
down with 4 bars and then back under the 
engine with some more box sections,

13
00:02:41,700 --> 00:02:49,300
And we used some diamond shape plate to make 
a protection for the intercooler, the oil 
pan and the radiator.

14
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:54,200
So in theory I'll be safe if I bottom out 
the car roughly.

15
00:02:54,900 --> 00:03:10,800
If you would like to buy some similar offroad 
tires, you can do so on our webshop, there'll 
be a link in the description. From 13" to 
18" we have all kinds of different tread 
patterns, and these are road legal tires. 
We can ship them to you straight away!

16
00:03:13,700 --> 00:03:21,900
Before we start, let's take a look at a carVertical 
report as usual. It is about a crash damaged 
Audi A6.

17
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:30,100
The vehicle is from California, from there 
it went to Poland and then from there to 
Hungary in 2019.

18
00:03:32,900 --> 00:03:49,400
There's nothing noticable about mileage, 
it is reported to have 107k kms. There is 
a crash event reported from 2018 in the USA, 
that's how it got to Poland.

19
00:03:50,500 --> 00:04:00,300
And here's the price, in 2019 it was sold 
for around 4 million (HUF, ~10k USD/EUR) 
here in Hungary. A 2013 A6 Audi and here 
are the photos of the crash.

20
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:29,500
They were uploaded in '18, the right front 
got hit quite hard, I see the A-pillar also 
got pretty beat up, the right front door 
too. This is a badly crashed car and in theory 
this car is actively running on Hungarian 
roads, because here we have a report about 
an inspection on the car from 2022.

22
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:43,600
And now, let's go for a... test drive.

23
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:52,600
As a start, we'll check if there's any rubbing 
on either of the wheels while driving,

24
00:04:52,700 --> 00:05:00,600
After that we'll go onto our little offroad 
section here, to see whether if we have any 
problems under bigger compressions. If there's 
nothing, we are then going onto the next 
thing!

25
00:05:09,300 --> 00:05:13,300
Yeah, it's rubbing a lot on the left side. 
Especially if I put load on that side.

26
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:20,600
And these tires are really sliperry on concrete.

27
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:35,800
If I go straight while breaking, it's fine, 
but if I turn while breaking, it rubs. I 
don't think it's too bad, but we'll take 
a look at it soon.

28
00:05:40,700 --> 00:05:53,400
It's not obviously visible where it's rubbing, 
but I can see here on the tire that it's 
touching somewhere. We could pretty much 
cut the whole thing out to not make contact.

29
00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:59,900
But I think it's bearable, so let's see some 
more offroad kinda tests.

30
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:50,600
The wheel started making space for itself, 
we cut too little here.

31
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:59,900
Well yeah, we could pretty much cut it up 
to this line here and then we'll put on some 
offroad wide arches on it.

32
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:08,400
But we surely have to cut it higher here, 
despite the fact that we'll lift the car 
up drastically.

33
00:07:09,700 --> 00:07:13,600
Apart from this, it's all good, the tires 
grab into the ground hard as soon as I get 
over the dirt,

34
00:07:13,900 --> 00:07:25,700
That's brutal, I'm looking forward to seeing 
how it will behave on a proper offroad track, 
because there is a huge difference especially 
compared to our previous test where we used 
tires worn down into slicks.

35
00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:29,300
It'll be fine, we are going to drive a few 
more laps and it will break in for good.

36
00:07:42,100 --> 00:07:50,700
Since we have the wheels off, I'll say some 
things about them. During our previous shoot, 
one of the tires popped off our beautiful 
3 spoke 18" wheels,

37
00:07:51,100 --> 00:07:57,900
We looked around at the yard for some replacements 
and luckily we found a full set of 17" OEM 
Audi rims.

38
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:05,700
They had factory paint, we put these tires 
on, it looked brutal, but the factory silver 
color didn't match the look,

39
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:14,500
We thought we'd paint them black but we already 
had the tires on, they are not easy to put 
on, so that's where this sprayable rubber 
comes into play.

40
00:08:15,300 --> 00:08:26,500
It is from Foliatec, sold by raceshop. This 
package is enough for a whole set of wheels, 
consists of 2 spray cans and a full set of 
these cards.

41
00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:40,500
You can put them around the bead and you're 
done masking the tires. There is a de-greaser 
napkin too so pretty much everything and 
also a paper to cover the valves.

42
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:53,400
It is a complete package and in about an 
hour without any preparation you can paint 
the wheels and later if you get bored of 
it, you can peel it off and get the stock 
finish back.

43
00:08:53,500 --> 00:09:02,500
So far it worked out for us especially because 
of how little effort it took to get here, 
we'll see how durable it will be, but the 
surface turned out very nice.

44
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:09,400
You can order them from raceshop, use the 
'oliveramon' coupon code to get a discount 
on these and everything else.

45
00:09:10,500 --> 00:09:16,400
We have some similar other products, for 
wheels, brake calipers and various other 
products as well.

46
00:09:16,900 --> 00:09:24,900
We will raffle them on instagram, so follow 
me there if you haven't already and you can 
take part in this giveaway within the next 
few days.

47
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:43,700
We cut a few more centimeters out of the 
aluminum fenders, this has to be enough. 
We'll go on a test drive and if it's good, 
we're done for today!

48
00:10:01,500 --> 00:10:12,200
Now comes the first test of the winch, we'll 
hook it to the C600 in which I'll do a burnout, 
without braking, the winch is going to hold 
it back.

49
00:10:12,300 --> 00:10:23,600
The goal of the test is to see if the winch 
can pull the C600 closer to the Audi while 
the C600 is trying to go forward, flatout 
in second gear.

50
00:11:39,300 --> 00:11:48,300
Now comes the second test, we hang the car 
there and the question is if the winch can 
lift the front wheels off the ground.

51
00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:16,300
I guess we can say it's okay.

52
00:12:17,900 --> 00:12:24,600
The winch has obviously passed the test, 
I don't think we have to put it through any 
more serious tests, so the winch is ready!

53
00:12:42,100 --> 00:12:54,900
That's it for today, the car is almost ready, 
we still have some things to do. It will 
take us about another week to button it up 
for the offroad shoot, but I think it will 
be very good.

54
00:12:55,400 --> 00:13:02,200
