Hey guys, just introducing myself to the forum. First off I want to say thanks to all the posters who have already helped me solve some problems just by searching through DIY's, etc. Just bought a 97 A4 1.8TQM for $4800. Has 154k on it, but still runs strong. Turbo was replaced at 140k (damn k03 sport), and I got a timing belt job in the very near future. Probly paid a little too much for it, but its pretty nice cosmetically for being 10 years old, and runs well for its age. Gotta fix some maintenance things before I start modding (kinda scared of the high miles), but summer is on the way! Let's hear some of your thoughts. I know it should be lowered, but its still winter here, and I don't want to be plowing snow. And the lowers also need to be painted.

sweet car man

 

So you bake bumper is painted but not the rest of the lowers????? Weird. Nice Car man +1 on the Silver. (Mines Silver) haha

 

Welcome...the A4 looks great!

 

List of things to do

1. get 99.5+ tails - you'll have to change the wireing a little but no big deal
2 shave off that little audi symbol under your side blinker
3. get some 1 or 2pc ecodes (2pc if you don't want to cut into your fender)

Lookin good - I'm in the same boat with modding and high mileage. I'm not planning on selling this one and keeping it till it dies so I'm willing to put $$$ into it.

 

Call me ricer, but I'm thinking about trying to pull off the silver and black look. I want some black 5 spokes with polished lip (JH8 style) and I found some black valeo(sp?) style headlights without angel eyes on ebay that you don't have to trim the fenders, I'll post the link around noon. Then I plan on probably tinting my taillights. I have to change my timing belt before anything though! Was last changed at 82k!

 

No DONT!

 

I knew that was coming! We'll see what happens. Really want to chip it, etc., but the high miles scares me! I was born in Ashland by the way.

 

Nice car man..do what you like to your car, it is YOUR car after all
