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.

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.Name:  IMG_0143.jpg

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!

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

...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

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

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