I bought my 1997 Audi A4 1.8T Automatic on March 5th, 2009.
I saw it on craigslist listed at $5,000, I offered the guy 4,000 and he took it.
When I went to go and look at it, this is what it looked like As i just recently found out when i had to do my outer tie rods that i have Eibach Pro-kit lower springs which lower me around 1.3-1.5 inches all around.

Awe so cute and stock!
That summer I got my first job and during my first week there i was working on a friday from 3-11 and I had high school from 730-2 and as i was leaving i hit a big huge Lime Green Pole!
Attachment 36493. It pretty much tore me apart and for those of you that were at the Upstate New York summer meet you saw it and it looked like this Attachment 36494. OUCH!!
This had me on market for new parts! i bought a new fender for cheap and i was looking for a bumper...i was looking around on random classifieds and i found it! a used s4 front bumper for $200! i bought it and when i got it was white!

A test fit...and of course due to my laziness i rocked it for about a week like that! I came across a few paychecks after saving them and bought the Depo 1 piece chrome headlights... and i bought DDM Tuning 6000k HIDs...
I had all of my new parts shipped to me and got my parts painted and now its starting to get back to the way it should be and not looking horrible.Attachment 36496Without the one piece headlights

With them with HIDs!
I was bored and was looking around for a boost gauge...i found Podi.ca and was looking into there products. I ordered mine and it took forever to get to me and when it got to me the gauge was broken, so i called back and they said just send it back and we will replaced it for free and upgraded it at no extra cost.

I was talking to ImTheDevil and he was talking about selling his wheels and i was very interested so i bought them. When i bought them 2 tires were bad so i had to get 2 new tires so i was talking to Hiwords and he was selling 2 tires same size as the current tires. Here they are!
Attachment 36499
After that it was a slow period of where not much was going on with the car! my next "big" purchase was s4 skirts which i bought from Hiwords.
From there i had them sitting in my garage for over 3/4 of a year and i just got them painted after buying an OEM RS4 grill from Hiwords and the A8 big brake kit for the fronts. I bought DDM Tuning 3000k HIDs for the fogs and custom euro plate

and for now thats what has been done to my car!

...with hopefully a lot more to come (coughelimkitcough). And for the record, two TIRES were fvcked, not two wheels lol. Good start on the car - I've seen its progression in person and can attest that at first, after the impact incident, it looked worse in person than in the above pic. I can likewise attest that it now looks better in person than the current pics. Tyler's car is coming along very nicely on its way to becoming a really awesome-looking B5. I'm a fan:)

you didn't tell ppl about your mysterious headlight projector backing. and you bought tires from me, not wheels haha.


everybody tell this guy to get those spacer thingys out of his springs. they're keeping him from going about another .5" or so lower

O sorry guys I didn't mean to mispell anything or give the wrong idea but I wrote this at 11:30 last night while I was doing homework for school

I didn't realize you fucked your car up that bad haha. Looks better now. :D

I want to see low soon. If that's not your next upgrade (downgrade:p) then I'm going to drive 5 hours to syracuse just so I can slap you.

:)

Looking fresh!

good time line! jeremy would sell bad wheels =D j.k

btw how did you end up hitting that huge pole? i bet you were trying to do some kind of a power slide or something :P

Dude i ordered my PODI from RAI also and took them like a whole month to get it out to me -___- and let me guess you got it a fight with the pole and you lost huh?

haha pole's and tree's dont move =D

maybe he was drunk and was seeing more than one pole hahah

no drinking was involved at all! i was over worked and under paid! sounds like a typical problem doesnt it? but its almost back to all better i just need a hood to complete the pile up back to normal but im talking to a buddy of mine with a s4 and he wants a new hood so he will sell me his! and that means no hood mounted sprayers!!!! FTW

nice progress car is looking good

ohh so you're took your anger out on your car i get it

Thanks b5 audi
Yu I hate you so much!

nice progression, and you guys need to keep his thread clean

Now it is. Don, yours only came out because with the others deleted, it wouldn't have made any sense lol.

No problem, I was going to post at the end of it to remember this is tylers thread :)

lol! thanks guys...but i have a CEL for p1196 its for a O2 Sensor Heater Circ., Bank1 - Sensor1 Electrical Malfunction...what does this mean? does it mean that i have to replace my primary O2 Sensor?

The O2 sensors are heated in order to work. Your primary sensor has (or had) a heater malfunction. Clear the code and see if it comes back. If it does then yeah you're looking at a new O2.

Damn I hope autozone doesn't mind clearing the code for me!

if they do, you know you always got us haha

i dont want to drive an hour and 15 minutes down there just to clear a check engine light just to wait for it to decide if it wants to come back on or not! i guess i can just see if they can clear it and if it does come back on ill just order a new o2 sensor and install it! so its outta my way to go down there unless you wanna do my upper CAs Yu?

90% sure they wont clear it cause its illegal for them to clear any codes on a car.

A whole lotta this.

Even though I may try to get them to clear my airbag light...

Good luck T man.

seriously it is...well if i get the job at an auto zone i can clear my own then hah! thats what im doing now is applying for a job at Auto Zone!

i thought about that or a local shop we have like 50 around here haha. that way itll be easier to work on my car. well good luck with getting the codes cleared and getting the job

why don't you do my statistics HW and i'll do your CAs haha.

Yu sounds like a plan when?

statistics is easy its like all graph work try AP calculus BC that is a hard math class

go to advanced autp part's man give them your license and they give you the scanner.

hehe try doing calc based statistics at the grad level. statistics is not just graphs haha, you'll see if you ever take high level statistics after high school.

yo Ty, how's the code thing going? wanna come down a photoshoot this weekend?

what should i say to them...like can i borrow your scanner if i give you my license?

yea just say you need your codes scanned then they ask for your license last time i tried there they didnt have a scanner that would fit audis they said only a dealer could do it

not all scanners are able to clear airbag codes. you need one of those real time ones or vag com. those pocket scanners only scan engine module

its not an airbag light its a O2 sensor light! im not nick!!!

you kids are all the same to me

If this were facebook I would like your comment Yu.

:D
I would like it too!

Picked up a euro trunk this weekend after my wonderful serpentine belt snapped into 3 pieces!
