I'm feeling that. The lower grilles make the upper grille pop more I think. All black might make everything washed out, which doesn't really make sense, but in this case it does to me.

two more.

Question....
This in a FWD. all my life ive had rwd and due to this ive always loved Drifting and doing doughnuts. Now i cannot do them so much. i want a 400hp car but im not sure this is the one to take there. I would feel more comfortable in a rwd doing that. i understand that 400 is alot to ask of a 4 cylinder but i would try my best. like i said , im just not sure this is the right one to do that too. what do u think? sell it and buy a e46 bmw or e36 or maybe another quattro b5? Thanks!

If its a manual it can take what ever you throw at it. If its auto you cant really give it much more. And you would be supprised what that 4cyl can do. Heres a good bit of information you should read https://www.audiforums.com/forum/audi-a4-8/newbie-guide-version-2-a-80968/ .

Great pictures!

I see you're in Northridge! You should come to our local GTG's!

GTG = Get Together!

We had a photoshoot with the local (SoCal) guys last week. I wish I would've known you're local sooner.

I'm in Arcadia (next to Pasadena). We also have a regular of the GTG living in Chatsworth (right next to you).

We usually get together and eat.

Check out the West section for the upcoming GTG's. There's no particular one that's coming up but I think I'm working on one.

get a b5 quattro, put in a stasis center diff, negative camber, BAT build, CO and you're good to go drifting. the stasis diff gives you 4:1 torque ratio rather than 2:1 thus you'll have no problem breaking the rear end free. a BAT build with a gt30 will get you around 400whp no problem. if you want to build, contact mike-2ptzero, he's got a site, hookups and a drag 2.0tqm.

i can't decide on the color scheme lol
