In a daring move, Tavarish acquired what he boldly proclaimed as the "worst Audi R8 in the world." But fear not, for a plan was afoot to resurrect this automotive disaster. A wrecked R8 with a glorious V10 engine emerged as the savior, ready to breathe new life into the dilapidated frame. With the help of the skilled Matt from E3 Customs, the interior was stripped bare, a crucial step in the grand engine swap scheme.
As the intricate wiring harness and connectors were meticulously transferred, the team faced the daunting task of removing the dashboard. The handmade R8's dashboard, a marvel of engineering, posed a challenge due to its factory installation method. Matt's expertise shone as he delicately disassembled the interior of the V10 donor car, adorned with luxurious diamond-patterned seats and a pristine leather dashboard with carbon fiber accents. The contrast between the two R8s was stark, highlighting the transformation that lay ahead.
Enter PJ, the Audi expert, whose insights shed light on the complexities of the impending V8 to V10 engine swap. From wire harness intricacies to component protection protocols, PJ's expertise was invaluable. He delved into the differences in transmissions and even uncovered potential frame issues plaguing the early R8 models. With a touch of humor, Tavarish toyed with the idea of being "Audi certified" to access elusive parts, showcasing his trademark wit amidst the technical challenges. PJ's discovery of reinforcement plates on eBay provided a glimmer of hope, resolving a crucial hurdle in the ambitious project.
