Talking New to the forum scene

hello all, my name is baker, am i'm sure you can see from my username, which i am having trouble changing, but i just bought a B5. 1998 3.8L in preeeetty good condition. body is totes straight, and interior is immaculate except for the hand brake lever wrap is a little shotty. 129k miles. burgundy exterior and black leather interior. the stereo and changer were shot, so i ordered a new stereo, and a new changer will come soon. i used to have a 1990 audi V8, before it was stolen, but it was in poor condition. i love my B5, and i can't wait for help making it the best it can be. thanks in advance guys.

Welcome to AF! If you need to change your username, shoot me a PM and I'll get a hold of one of the admins about it.

I think you mean 2.8L, a 3.8L V6 was never offered in any B5 that I'm aware of. Give the https://www.audiforums.com/forum/b5-...%2A%2A-109459/ a read when you get a chance, lots of useful info in there. Post up some pics of the car!

It could be an old v8 that was swapped in but I'm not sure why anyone would do that :P Either way welcome to the forums and post some pics of your car!

it is the 2.8, ionno why i said 3.8... maybe cause 2 and 3 are right next to each other. yes, i most certainly did say "totes". i've only got one pic of the car right now, and it looks like an accord or something cause it was a dealer pic and is terrible. i'll snap a good pic tonight and post it soon.
