Welcome to AudiForum preemo_28.

What exactly do you need help on?

As for the intake, are you talking about the "cone style" intake? If so, you probably need to buy a heatshield.
I believe there is also a DIY heatshield that you can make your self.

I'm gonna assume by his name that he has a V6 meaning he won't need a heat shield since he doesn't have a turbo.

K&N makes a cone intake setup for the 12v but honestly apparently our airbox is pretty good.

For lowering it on a budget, I'd look for spring/shock combo, most people like H&R/bilstein(SP) or Neuspeed/bilstein(SP), I'm saving up and looking for a deal on a C/O setup in the classifieds myself

For wheels it's your own choice but I'd stay with no bigger then 18's unless they have a decent lip.


Oh yeah, and since you have a 12v like me, just accept that it will never be blazing fast, welcome to the forums.

ooops my bad...for my b6 i found the cheapest coilover system (adjustable) at one website i forgot the brand was ksport, if im going just for suspension kit id go with bilstein and h&r combo.

for wheels: u can search at www.wheelsnext.com

dependin on ur budget...seems like were on the same situation. its either u make ur car looks nicer first or make it fast, u wouldnt be needing the cold air intake for awhile if u plan to make ypur car look nice on the outside, but personally i would consider getting a muffler to give a flavor of sound to mix wd ur sweet ride.
