god i love my 99.....

 

1992 was the best in the UK, no cat/egr

 

Me too (mine, not yours). I really like the 99.5 that I have, even though it has tiptronic. My son will be driving it, so that's why I haven't put the money, time and effort into upgrading it. I think the Neuspeed chip is plenty for a new driver. Later, after he has a few years under his belt, I think upgrading it will be a great father/son thing.

The 99.5 seems also to handle a little better than my 2001, or at least it feels more nimble. To do it again, I'd go with a 99.5 5 speed instead of the 2001.

 

you conform to the new insanity of drivers today (which is cool) because kids need to learn but so do adults

 

LOL. "New" insanity. In my day, 16 year olds could drive 400 hp cars that handled like crap with no seat belts, air bags, etc. The drinking age (in Florida) was 18. Drunk driving was "normal".

We've come a looong way to making the roads in the US safer in the last 30 years. Some people say it's nuts for me to put my son is a nice car like an A4, but with quattro and air bags all around, I think it is a very smart thing to do.

 

Just an FYI, ecs-tuning has 4.0 fpr's on sale for 50 bucks.

Isnt the 4 bar stock?

 

Yes, 4 bar is stock.

 

Is the stock FPR on 2001 4.0 bar as well?

 

well if you are going to get all the rest of the components might as well skip the K04 and just go right to BT you know you will want it eventually the K04 is nice and it has lost of torque but you will get tired of it and want more trust me been there done that haha
