I have a 1998 A4 1.6L. It's in the caribbean. I know you don't get this model in America.
Anyway i am in texas right now at school and have been purchasing parts for it. However its automatic. What exactly will i need to change it from automatic to manual. Beucase i am sure i will get the parts cheaper here in the US than back at home on the island. It's also right hand drive. Please help me out. I wanna get it racing soon. Noone thinks that these european cars are any good back at home because they're only those "fast and furious ricers."
.................................................. ............................Thankx for any help.

 

there was seriously a post about this like yesterday

SEARCH !

 

is that picture before the springs were put on?

 

Ok , so its too expensive to switch to manual. If i drive the car switchin thru the lower gears with the automatic shifter eg. 1 2 3 D , Would i be messing anything up? My car doesnt have tip tronic either.

 

no. ur car would be fine. it wouldnt hurt it. it would only hurt it. if you went to redline everytime like a dumba$$.

no mas. poease. i cant take it anymore!

 

Uh, you COULD mess something up yes... Just put it in drive and let it be. Shifting like that takes a toll on a trans over time, and can make it overheat and hot transmissions blow up. Your torque converter won't like you either.

 

Ok , so is there anyway to launch my car for a quicker start?? One of my friends told me to power brake and i wud get wheel slip. How exactly do i go about this? or any other way to get the tyres spinnin at a stop , maybe handbrake or something??

yea just hold the handbrake for like a minute and then let go. you'll do a huge burnout and you'll fly foward at lightning speed. I heard thats its reallllly good for your transmission. It makes it stronger and what not

 

^LOL, i swore i saw this work one time !!!

 

Why are you even trying to burn out in your 12v A4? there's no point....
