Well, I'm starting to consider selling the Civic Type-R in a little while here... I've had offers thrown at me for $10,000 cash. I started dreaming of how nice the Audi would be if I spent $10,000 on her. So just for fun... What would YOU guys do if you had $10,000 to spend on a 2002 Audi A4 1.8T Quattro 5-Speed?

Modifications I'm already doing:

-Thermal R&D Cat-Back Exhaust
-Carbonio Air Box
-Chip of some kind... Cannot decide on which.
-BOSCH 380cc Injectors (If I decide to go with APR StageII Chip)
-SPEC Upgraded Clutch
-GReddy FMIC
-Audi S4 OEM Front Bumper/Rear Bumper/Side Skirts

Sooooo... That still leaves QUITE a bit of money to spend. What else should I do here?

 

Skip the Chip and Go Get a GTRS Eliminator Kit for about 2600$ then Get the Ecode/Revo Software.
For about 3K or so you'll have your A4 down to a sub 13 Car.
You can see all the proof over at AZ in the B6 Forums.

 

dont forget the coilovers and swaybars. HIDs are pretty nice to if your car doesnt already have them

 

Hmmm, it's funny, I was just looking at the GTRS Eliminator Kit. With the Ecode/Revo Software, that's a stand alone unit that has a connect for laptop integration, correct? Coming from the Honda world, I've spent hours on tuning with CROME/überdata/etc. So I've got my feet pretty wet in that aspect.

So let's see, skipping the Chip (-$499 or so) and skipping the Bosch 380cc Injectors (-$199) because the GTRS kit comes with 440cc Injectors...

Only problem here, is that I NEED to be able to pass Emissions, as this car is my daily driver. So what options would I have in the realm of High Flow Catalytic Converters? I saw that Forge made one... Not sure if it's worth $650+, but still.

Think I'll go ahead and get an Aeromotive FPR and Slow-Boy Racing -10an SS Line kit while I'm at it.

Anyone else have anything?

 

INVEST it!! That 10Grand could become 20 g's in a few years.

 

As for Suspension... TEIN and Eibach Sway Bars. That's all I've ever used.

Now I've got to start looking into Clutches... Ohhhhh the fun part.

 

You might have $10,000? SELL the civic!

 

Well, I just now got her back together... I want to enjoy the car for a little while longer. It's been a long project, I don't think I'm ready to get rid of her yet. But in the NEAR future, she'll be on the market. It's cool, because I don't ANYWHERE near that into the car. But we'll see, I might just take one of these offers soon.

 

For a clutch look into Southbend or SPEC. They're pretty popular around here. I have a Southbend and couldn't be happier. Many people have had a problem with chattering when going with a lightweight flywheel.

BahnBrenner sells a high flow cat for $475. Make sure you do the exhaust at the same time as this because the stock bolts connecting to the downpipe will probably be toast.

I'm kinda curious what you currently have on your car. Coilovers, boost gauge, and a brake upgrade are some other necessities.

 

My car is... 100% stock, buddy.

And like previously stated... I come from the Honda world. Hence, the world of supporting modifications. Haha

(i.e You take a '92 base model Civic Hatchback, and swap an engine with 3 times the power. Suspension and brakes need to be upgraded to accomidate for that new power. So that thought has crossed my mind with the Audi.)
