Default A4 Project.

Well let me give a quick little background info. Here's a '97 1.8T Q (5-Speed). I bought this car at a auction with intent of just learning manual & having a beater car. Now it has turned into more than what I've planned.

I wish I took pictures for a before & after... but almost every door was damaged, a busted bumper, fenders (oi), half a taillight, highbeams on headlight wouldn't turn on even after new bulbs. 68k for $7,200. I listened to the engine & was sold. Now 12,000 miles later it's painted silver (from the orginal blue), 17" B5 RS4 Rims, APR Chip, Borla Exhaust with High Flow Cat, K&N Filter, Forge Motorsports DV, FK Angel Eye Headlamp (which one of my favorites), FK Taillights.

I plan on buying a RS4 bumper (which I should of before): Shown here. Along with APR's Stage III+ kit, maybe a CF hood & trunk.

IMHO after owning an APR set up (stage 3+ i might add) for the money I would rather just peace together my own kit apr keeps everything within limits that you can exceed if you went with a different program. and for the money you can do alot more if you peace it together yourself

Rims were bought from a dealer. He took them off a trade in & sold them to me off $600. Been meaning to either chrome them or black them out. As for the gap I really wasn't sure what springs to go with or if they should be race or sport. The angel eyes are from NGP Racing <- Link. Mine are chrome, not black. I've also being looking for a different steering whell since the leather has pealed from sitting in the sun I would guess.

Thanks for the complements.
