Sold my Talon about a month back and I picked up more of an every day vehicle. After driving it for a bit I decided that this is going to be my new project. I'm not saying goodbye to DSM's, just gonna wait a bit and buy the one I want. The Talon I had needed a lot of work. Fast as sh!t but rough. So, I will pick up another one eventually, but in the mean time this will be getting all my attention.

I've seen a few A4's up close. They're very, very nice.

My favorite rims for VW's of all time even more then the BBS that Brandon is rocking as his pic. They are the best 4 bolt rims though wink

Thanks Jason. Driving that is so much different than the Talon. So much tighter and smoother. I love the rims also....they definitely make the car!

That is what I was looking for as a second car! Definitely a good choice, I really like the all black!

The A4 1.8 is priced well. I do wish I would have spent a bit more and got the S4. It has a bi-turbo 2.7 litre and has a much better base suspension, engine and body styling wise. The front bumper you see on my car is actually from the S4....way nicer!

Some small mods and you will have yourself a S4 feeling car with out the price tags to match the S badge.
APR makes a great computer and then a simple down pipe to a free flowing exhaust is pure magic.

Tiny turbo for sure. It is a K03. I think it is about the same or smaller than the t-25. Spools up quick but falls on it's ass just as quick.

k03-04 HYBRID is a great turbo as well lots of people go with them. The last Audi TT engine I was involved with we went with a t3 super 60 garret it was unreal in a MK2 golf

does it have the ridiculously over-engineered cup holder?

Beautiful. I am thinking of getting one as well. I like the older a4s. They attract less attention from the police then my car for sure.

I love the black on black. Gives it a classy look.

Ok, cause my wife's cousin's husband had i think an '01, and it had this space age engineered cup holder in the dash, i laughed so hard when he "deployed" it. Very nice cars though. They feel very solid and luxurious.

Blayne's Audi looks great just as it is. Nice rims, profile and ride height. Sorry but stretched rubbers are not functional, throw that sh!t in the rice cooker.

Can always get moar low. Gotta lay frame in an audi / vw.

Stretched tires just look awesome.

You know what they say! Volkswagen owners like their assholes the same as their tires, STRETCHED TO THE MAX

Ya....the stretched tires don't do it for me. Can't imagine a high speed corner would turn out too well. I would rather bring the offset in a bit and go with normal tires. That Jetta looks awesome that low tho.....
