I just got my hands on a 2001 Audi A4 1.8T. Laser Red with Black Leather Interior. I have had it for about three weeks now and am lovin every second of it. I was this close to getting a 2000 S4 but that fell through so the 1.8T was my next option. Here are a bunch of pics, if the quality sucks its because it was taken with my cell phone:

























And me with one of the locals




It has a brand new racing clutchand racing lightweight flywheel. I want to upgrade more. First off I am probably looking at 5% tint and new wheels. After that I want to head straight to the engine. I figure first thing should be a new DV, Intake, and Exhaust. I am new to the Audiworld so not sure whichbrands work the best with which application.I will probably get new pulleys for it too.Of coursein time I want it chipped. And possibly look into bigger brakes. What do you guys think and what else could I do for performance?

 

Chip it first best bang for the buck on preformance. Look at brands such as GIAC or APR for chips.

DV you can spend some money and get one like a Forge and have it be fixable or the cheaper alternative the DV off the TT's which is the 710n and just replace it if it breaks.

Intakes dont help as much with our cars since our engine bay is heatsoked a lot but it does increase the sound of the DV if you want to hear it.

For exhaust most here have gone with brands such as Borla, Miltek and some others. Some do custom jobs too since we only have a limited selection and they want something specific. I personall LOVE my Borla.

 

Instead of getting an intake you also might want to look at the airbox mod, its cheaper and more efective is most instances.

BTW nice car, I personally love those rims and wouldnt change them =)

 

I do like the looks of them, and would probably keep them if the previous owner didnt curb it and scratch the crap outta them on the driver side.

 

What did you get it for, how many miles?

Looks like a nice clean orange audi. Post some better pic when you can

 

Very nice....looks great! Congratulations!

 

Congrats and enjoy. Ive loved every minute of driving mine so far. Definately do the chip, mine drives like a completely different car with the chip mod.

 

looks nice. i would forget about the new wheels and dive straight into the engine. you have an 01.5 by the way and those are the 17" sport celebration rims (only available on 01.5 quattro sport) and first thing that chould be done to the engine is chip and dv. and i wouldn't recommend pulleys just cause i've heard they cause problems with 1.8T's.

 

looks like you have no coolant??

 

Fist get a giac chip at the same time get a forge dv. next would be exhaust and the diy airbox mod. after that ko4 turbo or go big turbo
