So I am about to come accros 3 grand maybe more (depending on how many racquets I want to string). I will probably spend about half and save the rest. Here is what I got so far:
Slotted front rotors
RS4 grill
piggy pipes
aftermarker coolant temp sensor
Blitz DCC
Possibly have my ECU flashed cause I hold at about 1.27 bars. ( i bought the car like that, the guy lied to me) Going to have APR guy look and see whats up this weekend.

Going to be doing soon:
Darintake (i have been too lazy to start, lame I know)
CC mod
tint tailights and possibly headlights (not sure on the headlights)
RS4 front bumper conversion

I have some ideas of what to get, but its small stuff like, pedals, whether mats, shift **** and ebrake handle, aluminum interior trim, trunk cargo net, etc. So I want to ask you guys for your advice.

 

first off take your car to a shop and have them look everything over. There can be many problems with these cars that drivers dont know about. If you are boosting 1.27 u for sure have a chip. Go vag your car and it will tell u. If i were u i would get suspension or many odds and ends like short shifer, dts, snub, there are many. Check out vastperformance.com

 

well i have acutally already done my checklist for fixing it up, i just got the TBB done, new differential seals, and some other stuff done. i will getting some new vavle cover gaskets soon and doing that possibly myself. So are there any other ideas on what to purchase?

 

Saw that you had a FD.
I had a 93 Vintage Red R1 with 330whp.

I see also that you string racquets? (funny, I string badminton racquets for my local club here)

Other than that, nothing big to contribute, I just got the S4 last week Friday . Way more comfy than the FD.

 

DV's are important to replace that and the pipeing. you should also replace the coolant expansion tank and think about doing the TRE's basic matiainance is a key to keep your car running well. pipeing, dv's, and replaceing seals are important!

 

suspension, chip, brakes, little odds and ends

 

sorry i forgot, i already have the 710n DVs and I am almost positive that my TREs are all done, i know my front passenger one is, I will have to check on that. Seals wise, they are all sound. I do like the coolant expansion tank replacement cause when I put in the thermo switch, I tilted the expansion tank to get the the switch and noticed some coolant coming out, but only when I tilted it. I really would like to get some coilovers because I really dont feel like having to go back and put them in later if i only get springs or struts. So far I am thinking of getting: 21mm rear sway bar, MBC, samco hose kit (maybe), wheather mats, JHM short shifter (maybe), and a couple other small things.

S4speedfreak: what piping are you talking about? just so I am aware of what else needs to be changed.

Dimcorner: yeah, my rx7 was my baby. i love the low end torque and the POWER!!!!!!!!!!!!!! that thing was one of the fastest cars I have ever driven. I wished the S4's were lighter then I would be able to be sucked back to my seat and have my cheeks flap like the REX. man I miss her so freaking much. i know audi's are expensive to keep up but you dont know what matainence is until you own an Rx-7. the parts might be cheap, but everything fails within 80K miles, even the engine (80K is the average estimate) but is it worth it in the end......HELL YEAH!

 

So I am about to come accros 3 grand maybe more (depending on how many racquets I want to string). I will probably spend about half and save the rest. Here is what I got so far: $3g - 1/2 = $1500?
Slotted front rotors Don't waste your money, get stock & SS lines $350
RS4 grill Good, there $100
piggy pipes Good, HP & cooler running turbo's, but you NEED exhaust also
aftermarker coolant temp sensor WTF? Never knew there was one, stick with stock, or are you talking about the AUX pump sensor?
Blitz DCC Way more trouble then it's worth, pass
Possibly have my ECU flashed cause I hold at about 1.27 bars. ( i bought the car like that, the guy lied to me) Going to have APR guy look and see whats up this weekend. You may already be flashed, make sure it's not first

Going to be doing soon:
Darintake (i have been too lazy to start, lame I know) CHEAP
CC mod CHEAP
tint tailights and possibly headlights (not sure on the headlights)Pass, it looks like ***, just purchase the tinted tails $200
RS4 front bumper conversion Like mine, or get the RS4 front bumper? This will take almost all your $$

I have some ideas of what to get, but its small stuff like, pedals, whether mats, shift **** and ebrake handle, aluminum interior trim, trunk cargo net, etc. So I want to ask you guys for your advice. Pedals, are at Stasrtupracing, mats are dealer, don't worry about the shifter or ebrake. trim is about $400.
all this add up to just over your budget, minus the bumper

 

sorry 2K for the confusion. All the stuff in the first paragraph is what I actually have on my car already so i dont need to buy those again. i have the aftermarker thermoswitch that keeps the water pump on after shut down. the slotted rotors i purchased front ECS and they were pretty cheap. why should i not waste my money on them?

yes i believe my ECU is already flashed, all i was saying was that i have to get it checked out by APR. If it is already flashed, what is my next step?

i installed the Blitz DCC with ease. why do you think they are more trouble? ( i havent run the wire to the ebrake yet, so if thats what you are talking about i completly understand)

And yes I was going to do the stock bumper RS4 conversion like yours 2k. i figured i could save some money and put it towards more useful stuff. i just need the tools and time to do it, and a good paint shop.

Also where can i get some nice tinted tails? the ones i have seen are those crappy euro ones and in my opinion look worse than stock.

Thanks for the advice 2k.

 

It's not an "Aftermarket" thermo switch, it's just a lower temp OEM one, it will still on stock, just at a higher temp. If it's not APR, it can GIAC, REVO, etc... It might take some time to find out.

It took me $50 in body shop supplies, $225 for the 3 grills, & then another $500 to have it all painted up nice.

Hella makes the best ones out there, some times there on eBay for $200-300.

The rotors are just bling, unless you are tracking the car & have upgraded pads & SS lines, there is no benefit other then looks.
