RE: Optimistic dreams...
Like I said I would do anything as far as visuals to this car, other than painting the black rocker panels. The only reason my car isn't jsut stock is becuase I took a pretty much totaled car and fixed it, so yeah..

Listen to Lazer Viking -the a4 is heavy as hell and isnt cheap to build for best quarter mile times at all. If you are young and on a tight budget, its going to be hard to maintain it AND mod it.

RE: Optimistic dreams...
^^ agree completly. with a tight budget the a4 is going to be hard to maintain and more of a headache since your only 16 unless your parent sare willing to help with anything that may go wrong. If your looking for some kind of 1/4 mile monster the a4 is not for you, If you looking for a luxuary/sport car that is quick and good looking then the a4 might interest you. Before you buy I would bring a car to someone who knows audi and have them look over it. I assume you will be buying a B5 from the looks of your cash situation so maintence is going to come before mods and it could get kind of pricy depending on the condition of the car.
Chip- $400 30-50hp 60-80ft lb
TIP Chip- $350
DV- $35(710N)-$135(007)
Testpipe- $135
Exhaust- $800 for a namebrand
DIY FMIC- $150(Core) $50-$100(Piping)
this is an estimate just for performance parts which will make a huge improvement over stock but nothing really drastic but you also have to include the cost to maintain

awww..cmon guys, be nice to my fellow newbie. he's mentioned that he's not going to rice out the audi.
btw tooxtreme8813, good advice on the mods, but he did mention that he's buying the car from his mom, so it should be in good condition. probably won't need much maint.

RE: Optimistic dreams...
Learn to read people. There isn't the first sticker on my celica, not even the stripes, of they were I'd probably already peeled them off, and if I were to get this car I wouldn't do a thing to it aside from engine work.
But I doubt it will be happening, my parents found out I had raced before and took my license and stuff.. So I'm probably just gonna buy a new engine/tranny for my celica (theres actually a RHD front clip with the engine/tranny in it on ebay) and spend another summer working on it.
Its my moms car, yep its the B5 model, and its been taken good care of and babied to death haha..
I have a large budget for a 16 year old since I've worked for my dad for the past couple years, and if I sold my car I'd have plenty to spend. But like I said I doubt any of this will happen now.
Thanks for the few who helped, sorry for wasting your time...
