never made a thread for this car yet...so here goes
thought id start a build thread in here rather than keep updating my intro thread with pics
1999.5 A4 1.8t quatro
126k, 5 speed
United Motorsports Tune
APR TIP
APR Catback
Test Pipe
Bailey DV
ST Coils
bought it completly stock, well had a bailey dv that I didnt know about
first mod was my a new headunit and matching shiftknob
then added a boost gauge, took a while to cut the vent
ordered ST coils a day before I bought the car, no install pics tho....also went with a set of 18x8 et44 mercedes 6 slots
then ordered 25 and 30mm spacers to get it almost flush
also got bored when Dr.Hermie was over and did some wood grain on the wheels
Added some stickers along the way...some WFSU stickers have been added thanks to a private donation :thumbsup:
When it broke down...ended up being a bad fuel pump ground which stumped me for a few weeks...just had to use the triangle
Random gas pump shot
Decided I wasnt happy enough with the stance on the 18s so I sold them in a day, put on the stockers and painted them white
then ordered these....Etoile 455 17x8.5 et 20 17x9.5 et 25 Nankan NS-II 205/45 all around
Wheels mounted up...needed a 14x1.5 to 12x1.5 stud conversion and lug nuts due to the wheels have 12mm lug holes...may end up drilling them out to 14mm
edit: wheels are just spray bombed and basically temporary till i figure out what color i like, reason for painting them was the gold was done poorly and the centers faded differently than the center caps did which was annoying, plus the po of the wheels had a black b5 and a few people thought it was his car
Here were my 3 choices that I picked out
Ended up with this combo
Need to get better pics of both sides later today, also need to either remove or remake the drive train stabilizer and 2 other small things under the car that are hitting everything after I lowered the front, I have about an inch between those things and the ground
