Hi guys! (and girls ;-)
I'm Maurice from the Netherlands, I live near the city Amsterdam (thats more common for the most of the US members)
I've always been a audi nut, and I'm driving audi for the last 6.5 years now. I started with a new full option 2000 A6
2.4 V6 Quattro. I loved it so much that I drove it 6 years
In June 2006 I ordered a B7 A4 3.2L FSI V6 24v Quattro Convertible with almost every option.
It was a hard decision becaus taxes on cars in my country are around 45%. So a empty 3.2Cab Q costs around 80K US dollars and you also have
to pay those texas over every option on the car.. And I got a lot of those extra.. Pain in the neck I tell you! But a Audi is worth every penny!! [:D]
Some of the extra options on this car is the proline pack that includes leather, xenon, sensors behind, wind screen etc..
I added the whole sensor pack front/back bumper. Full elektrical sport seats, DVD navigation, rain and light sensors etc..
So after 3 longgg months I got my Cabrio on 19th of august. And YES it was still nice weather over here
After around 900Miles I could open the tabs of the new 3.2L FSI engine. It's much
better than the 2.4 V6 I had before. The 3.2L has much more torque (the 2.4 didnt
had anything below 3500 revs) It's still no turbo charge torque feeling, but's enough for now! It's quite stiff compared to my old A6, but you dont lose much comfort.
It's also quite heavy for a car, but the stiffer suspension, low center gravity and the
50/50 torque split really helps. Yes its still a little bit understeary, but after 6 years I know how to handle a Quattro [;)]
My overall view of the car is very positive! It just feels like your always driving in your money hehe [;)]
For now its still standard with in my opinion the best looking rims on the convertible option list (to bad they dont have them in 18")
My further projects are 18" or 19" new S3/S8/S4 convertible rims (I'll use the 17" rims for winter tires) and maybe some Wheel spacers,
I dont know if it's the right word, but the thing that pushes the rim little bit more to the outside of the car.
After that maybe the new RS4 oval muffler or the bigger round caractere mufflers.
And If I'm getting bored with the power I'll maybe get 1 of those supercharger kits from MTM that will boost the power up from 255BHP to around 320BHP
Here are some picture's from 1 day after I got it (aug 20, 2006) I still need to make some nice nature or industrial pictures or something like that
