Öperator's 07 Brilliant Red

**Operator** · 05-21-2011 10:17 PM

This is the 2nd car I've owned since I started to get into the car modification world.... So far it's been a fun ride. Here's my car from beginning to present.

Not long after coming back from the dealership. All stock. Pics taken with my simple P&S camera.

We both have dual exhaust......

1st mods I installed started with the sound system. The sub inclosure was added about a year after the main install. Still stock exterior and performance wise.

Amps: JL 1000/1 and JL 450/4

I went with these for my interconnects:

Door speakers:
Initially I ran Elemental Designs 6500's up front. But I foolishly damaged the set while trying to tweak the system.

Now I run Rainbow SLC 265.25 NG components

In the rear I have cDT EF-61's

Subwoofer:
I decided to downsize from a 12" to a 10". Image Dynamics IDMAX 10"

Optima Red Top for my battery and a Stinger digital fuse holder:

HU: JVC NX-7000bt While I'd prefer a more OEM look, the options this HU gives me, more than makes up for it.

USB routed under armrest along with a Monster Aux cable. I have the option to run a video in, along with an Iphone interface cable.

Rear before I put the enclosure in:

Enclosure installed:

Rear digital distribution block and 12disc changer:

Moved up to Cheynne Wyoming (the main reason I purchased an AWD car).

After my APR tune and Euro plate add on.

Moving into more exterior modifications. Vorgtland Springs/shocks, USP rep wheels, FLY's V3's,

Started working on the exhaust. VMR Testpipe, and OBX Downpipe + exhaust.

Yes my car is dirty, but hey, it was winter time........

Kool pic of a train passing through the middle of the city streets.

Installed some gauges. Defi Boost and Depo racing Oil Temp

Water/Methanol indicator added

Had to go into winter mode:

**Operator** · 05-21-2011 10:19 PM

Eventually upgraded my brakes. ABT front and rear rotors with EBC Redstuff pads.

For the summer, I sold my old 18" Ultra Sport set-up

Moved on to 235/35 fronts and 275/30 rears

235/35-19's

275/30-19's

Wrapping around

19x8.5's and 19x9.5's I love the concave took for the rears, and the fronts are better, than I thought!

Gotta beat the summer heat. Treadstone TR6 FMIC

Once again, battling the summer heat, and looking to finally use my 100oct tune!

Coolingmist Water/Meth behind sub enclosure

Went with a RS style grill, forgot to put the rings on before I put the bumper back on...... But they will make a return! Also added ECS clear sides, a custom CAI, Cupra Lip, Xenarc CBI's, STi clear lens, 5000k fogs.

Best D1s bulbs around in my opinion!!!!! Love the output, and they are still breaking in!!!!!

Here's my Coolingmist setup:

The w/m is set to start spraying at 16psi (I thought 10psi was too low, only to find 16psi is too high so I'm aiming for 11psi - 12psi next...)

Tank is hidden behind my custom sub enclosure and the rear seat

The pump sits inside the 1.5gal tank (living up in the Colorado/Wyoming area, I want to keep my wiper fluid separate)

Hose coming into the engine bay

For me, I prefer, just filling up with pure methanol from a local fueling place, and mixing it with distilled water. I use 3 - five gallon jugs for the methanol, and one - 2 gallon jug for my 50/50 mix. And for ease of use I made the funnel/hose to fill the tank, though the tank can slide out from the cubby hole to be filled too.

Boost switch hidden in the back of the engine bay.

K0R installed.

RAI Testpipe attached to my OBX customized DP. Ended up modifying the TP so it would mate up.

HPFPupgrade Stage 1 pump. Nothing really different externally.

You have a KOR-GT on a tip? :O

**Operator** · 10-20-2011 07:59 AM

Yeh, auto guys want to go fast too!

and even with the drivetrain loss, I'm more than happy with a TIP versus manual.

**Operator** · 12-20-2011 06:51 AM

My A4 before the winter, out in the COUNTRY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now ready for winter:
Last year:
Black plasti dipped

I'm going for the oddball look in winter:

Powder-coated.

Kinda off topic, but what camera did you use in the above vids. Also how was it positioned? Was it on a tripod, suction, etc?

**Joey0918** · 01-30-2012 09:45 PM

...From what I can tell my the suction cup in the window that is what I think he may have used.... lol

**Operator** · 02-02-2012 12:19 PM

Yeh, sometimes when I record a drive, I don't take the time to make sure everything is in good order. And thus as stated above, the suction cup is in view. It doesn't happen all the time, but oh well.... When I prep ahead of time like in the last video, I have a clean recording. And I just use my Iphone4 with a mount I purchased off eBay. Maybe no GoPro HD quality, but better than nothing, and pretty easy to set-up.
