Iknow its nothin special and its bone stock but its the first car Ive ever bought and Im proud to put the SOB up here lol. From what Ive learned on the forums, there arent many easy-to-do performance mods for the B5 2.8, theyre more show than go it seems, so I think thats the angle Im going to play with this guy. Let me know what ya'll think!! =)

 

P.S. please don't flame me cause the pictures are all jacked up lol. Do you have to put a CRLF in there or somethin to get them to stack on top of eachother?

 

oh dirty, another 12v joins the ranks it looks like


I'd say first off is lose the 4x4 status (unless you drive down any roads that might be considered un-maintained) YOU WILL crack your oil pan

then get some wheels for it, some onepiece ecodes for headlights, facelift tails, facelift fog's, a tint, and basically call it a day


then get a thumping system and get them girlies wet



huh pics work fine for me??

 

Car looks really nice bro - have fun with it and do a lot of reading on here - you'll find a bunch of info. Also, check the Tech areas here (the DIY forum), and at www.audidiy.com and www.audiworld.com - you'll find LOTS of do-it-yourself articles on dress-up and mechanical things you can do to your car, as well as little tips and tricks and things you can add - features that weren't available at all, or were available on later model year cars, often can be recreated or retrofitted with minimal expense and fuss. Welcome

 

Thanks guys! Yeah I recently just moved to VA where tint is legal (THANK GOD!! LOL) so thats gonna be one of the first things. Other than that, I also had in mind: HIDs, painted lowers, wheels/tires, a very modest drop, and of course a system (thanks CAB lol)

 

what can I say, I know what everyone is really thinking.


as for the HID's you'll probably need a new headlight as I understand it because the old two-piece design isn't right for HID's

 

Yeah thats kinda what i gathered from what Ive read here, the best way to go is get one-piece E-codes. Are they tough to put in? I heard there are some bumper/fender mods involved.. (and it is a 12v lol)

 

Nice man. It feels pretty good to get your first car huh? Just be happy your lower door trim is still in tact

 

question...Was the 96' the only year that had lowers that poked out a bit like the RS4's???

 

Eh Im not sure, mine is a 97 but I feel like I wouldn't know the difference anyways lol. Im kinda new to this German car stuff =/
