Dude,

bottom line: don't try it. You'll be <img border="0" alt="[bang head]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_banghead.gif" />

WAY WAY too much involved. If you don't like the A4, best possible thing you can do is trade it for an M6 car. Or, better yet, get one of each. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

From what I've heard, it's not *too* bad... just REALLY time consuming. I'm the next F-body in my club at school due for an M6 swap, hopefully this fall depending on money.

I'll pull up a couple guides tonight and send you the links. Good luck!

I just recently did the same thing. I was tired of that A4 and wanted a change, so I did! It was the best thing I've ever done to the car. I've got a 00 Formula w/ GTP heads, GTP pig cam, and lots of bolt ons. Gas mileage w/ the M6 is awesome. I didn't want to be the fastest w/ the biggest stall, I want to enjoy my car on and off the track and w/ the M6 I do just that! So, I say just do it. I found a guy who wanted a A4 and we swapped. Nitro Daves in Waco, TX did the work and you can't tell it's not foctory. The labor cost was $650 a car, not bad in my book. In that price they swapped trannies, wire harnesses, computers, petals, and consoles. Good Luck! Email me if you have any ?'s.
