Thumbs up SouthBay Autohaus GPower S3 M6 build...

Got a call from Mark at SouthBay Autohaus today and told me if i could swing by the shop, I was like on a Sunday? it must be something important so i obliged and we came out to SouthBay Authaus and we saw the aftermath of the tear down of the V10 motor off of the M6, I as i've said before we will have a VIP pass on this insane build, thanks to Qais and Mark of SouthBay Autohaus for inviting us and witness the birth of the first ever S3 Gpower'd M6 in North America and only a few made around the world...I will be updating everyone as the build goes on...

For now pics will tell the story on what happened today






The ECU

Exhaust is out

Front wheels out


Sneak peak


Hellooooololo echo! this what you call the engine bay


Mark
Finishing her up

Very interesting. Birth of a G-power M6 in the west side.
Hell, if I was one of the techs I wouldn't even think about going to lunch break but work on it!
