I'm headed off to renn art today to get one of their guys to check out my car... I just bought it used (01 1.8T) and i want to get a good baseline on it before i start changing things out. So far the only thing that's on my list are getting all the fluids changed (tranny/radiator/brakes/engine) all my filters changed (fuel/oil/air/cabin) probably get timing belt and water pump, since i'm going to have the brakes drained I might as well get stainless brake lines. oh yeah and a tune up...

But thats all i can think of... Some time in the near future my suspension is gonna get adjusted, clutch is getting replaced, forged DV (prepped for turbo upgrade for wayy down the road) wheels (are 18's going to fit if i drop it an inch?)

is there anything else i should be looking at or have them look at today???

thanks...

 

Get the REVO and BI kit..you'll love it..

 

???

 

i dont htink they have that the big injectors or revo for B5s

 

I have 18s by 8.5 with a 1.75" drop. 19s start to rub I believe, but the ride quality will suck either way. And yes, you will cry if you hit a big pothole and bend the wheel... not to be negative. Hope that helps!

 

Actually we do have REVO for some B5's.. For sure we have the CH ecu box.. which is the 2001.5 B5 1.8T Quattro (my own car)

 

Personally i wouldnt let revo touch my b5, Revo rules for the b6s tho.

 

just like i, personally, wouldn't let apr etc etc touch mine.. [&:]

 

I heard REVo stole APR's software .
This true ?

 

not a true statement. there was a lawsuit between apr and revo in early 2003, but as far as i know, nothing has come of it.

we're now in june 2005 and revo is doing awesome.
