Hey everyone. New the fourums, and still getting acclimated to the Audi world.. I've got a 99.5 A4 1.8T Quattro, Silver w/ Black leather interior, sunroof, and heated seats. I'm the second owner of this car, 1st one did a pretty good job upgrading and maintaining it, although I occasionally run across something that makes me think twice..

Here are the list of "known" mods

Nav+ Upgrade (Blaupunkt european model, took some looking to find the damned thing online)
Short shifter
VDO boost gauge
17" Fittipaldi's wrapped in Yokohama tires (not z rated)
cross-drilled/slotted rotors all around
Borla exhaust
air box mod
upgraded to intercooler and to throttle body hoses
Lowered w/ bilstein shocks, don't know which springs
ECS Tuning RA4 Stage 1 clutch (done in September)
OBX pedal covers

I was told he also chipped the ECU as well, I can't fully confirm it as of yet, but it definitely feels chipped.

The previous owner may have also upgraded the DV, but I haven't taken the thought to look.

It's a great car, but it's going through a rough spot getting some issues contained. Up until today (my VAG-COM finally arrived), I had the CEL, Airbag, and ABS lights on. All fixed minus the ABS, but it's still running rough. Got a new O2 sensor, MAF, and plugs coming in, we'll see if that takes care of the issue. I also need to get new axles as well.

Eventually I'd like to do some more mods to it. Like a set of e-codes w/ real HID's, S4 front bumper, and eventually the K04 turbo w/ APR FMIC. Probably upgrade to a newer chip as well. For now I need to get this thing back in good shape and ready to pass inspection.

Clean looking B5!

That thing looks pretty low.
