    Quite a few of the early R8 models suffered from a frame cracking issue. Sam Crac had the issue on an R8 he repaired. Audi do sell the parts for the repair. Definitely worth checking for as it's a major safety issue.

    For the people asking for P1 update that never touched a wrench, understand that working on a car like that even if you’re specialist with deep pockets takes a long time, from ordering parts to research and every other bits, hats off to tavarish and the team for not going the simple route and even taking it a step further on that project.

      Lol, but he is going the simple route with the P1...remember he's removing all electronic drive. He's masquerading it as "increasing power", but in reality can't be bothered with the complicated electronics. The P1's electric motor makes up for reduced torque during gear shifts etc, it's unlikely the new "1600bhp" engine would actually beat it around a track.

    You may need to widen the rear frame to accommodate the s-tronic dual clutch gearbox. The r-tronic is narrower between the rear frame rails. If you measure the frame between the two cars you will see if one is wider. Interested in seeing what you are going to do to. I have always wanted to do this myself but in Australia we don't get alot of crashed super cars.
    Keep up the good work.

    The P1 is nothing like the other builds guys. You can't rebuild a P1 overnight. You can find Audi and BMW and Volkswagon parts for everything else, you can't just find replacement parts for a P1. Especially one being converted to a one off unique car. You have to engineer and produce that shit, that takes time and money. A lot of both.

    Wow! Audi R8 has been my dream car for years. I would be more than happy to take it off your hands...after you're done with it. I'll even let you bring my 1977 Maserati Bora, one of 19, out of storage so I can have it running again. It went in storage in Las Vegas when I left Nellis AFB for my assignment to Aviano, Italy...in 1994! It has been stored since then but I moved it to my dehumidified garage in Florida.

    10:38 For stuck nuts or bolts in sockets, either slightly put it back on the stud or in the threaded hole SLOWLY and wiggle the gun off, or an easier solution. You can take the socket off, put it on the ground and tap it with a hammer. The vibrations will knock the stuck nut or bolt out pretty quick 👍 👍

    There's an aluminium (or plastic) rod in the toolkit of most Audis - you screw that into one of the stud holes in the hub and then "hang" the wheel from it - makes it much easier to line up the wheel bolts 😃

    I’d actually like those old rotors. I could use them for a future aerator project I’m going to work on. The rotors are round and heavy enough to drive a pipe into the ground and help the roots of my grass grow. Little tool I found online, and bit heavy rotors are best.
