More to come....

New stereo (all JL XR stuff), new interior (diamonds are forever!), and new engine work. Then we're going to dyno this thing. [up]

[nivanm5]

Looks great, love the eurogear hood!

[slopoke]

but i do think painting the outer grill surrounding would look better

[Firefighter637]

Nice lookin car. Sits nice.

[B5 SLPR]

DAMN!!!!! I love the white, very nice.

[TighTT]

Some suede centers/w diamond stitching interior love......

[TighTT]

Hiii!!!

Whats good Issam???

[TighTT]

[o_o]...wow.

Is that a good "wow".....or a bad "wow"??? [confused]

[onemoremile]

That is a good wow. Especially since I think I know what is under the hood...

The seats and door cards are beautiful.

[TQMB5]

Is that a good "wow".....or a bad "wow"??? [confused]
really hope that wasnt a serious question

[TighTT]

really hope that wasnt a serious question

Never know...some people have different taste.

[solowb5]

That's the nicest interior I've seen in a B5.

[TighTT]

That's the nicest interior I've seen in a B5.

*blushes*

Thank you very much! [>_<]

[TQMB5]

Never know...some people have different taste.

those are the type of people with bad taste then, sick car

[TighTT]

those are the type of people with bad taste then, sick car

LOL...nicely worded. [:D]

[t1demont1]

So what kind of motor work is going on, your car is probably one of the nicest b5s created.

[pipe7284]

that is one of the best A4s in this site. Lovely!!!!!!!

[.Mad Hatter.]

ya...im gonna have to go ahead and ask for moAr pics.

wow i havnt seen a pic of your car in a long time and that looks unreal..
what is the thing on the console in front of the cigarette lighter?

[Flash]

Looks like a Harmann/kardon controller.

Seriously, excellent interior. The diamond stitching really enhances the luxury feel. Nice job!

[1fstavant]

looks impresive bro...whats the specs on the turbo

[biketsai]

You car is on my top B5 list. Props for having a really nice car. I would die for your car!

[soupie69uk]

That retrim is awesome, dont think you could have chosen a better combo.

Bet you are so pleased!!

I think you should get all the black interior pillars next.

[TighTT]

whats the specs on the turbo

Turbonetics GT-K 550 with a .82 A/R and 4 inch inlet. Motor is 2008cc's (for now)/w all forged internals and a built head.

[TighTT]

I think you should get all the black interior pillars next.

Working on it....just dont have as much time for car stuff as I used to.

[fenderstrat1184]

ok... so i never usually post, only read and do research, but i have to say, you have by FAR one of the best, it not THE best b5 around. when it comes to style, interior, and mods. you have show and go... its just amazing

your car = the sex

ok, i'm done gaying out over your car

Good job!

[jgmpn6]

pretty f'in sexy

[slopoke]

What kinda #'s does it put down? ever seen a track?

[baboom]

wow the interior is perfect not to much and looks uber professional to the max!!!

i want to see some dyno sheets.. great work this is my favorite b5 of all time!!

[JaVa]

Beautiful!!!

[AudiTurrbo19]

Damn it you beat me too the diamond stitching...oh well...car looks amazing[up][up]

[>_<] Thanks [up]

[TighTT]

What kinda #'s does it put down? ever seen a track?

More than 100 HP and less than 1000. It was purposely built as a street car and has never seen a track. One day it might.....but not yet. [drive]

[Wizard-of-OD]

Adam I am honestly shocked that you are not on the cover of European car or something...

[AudiA4_20T]

Adam your rediculously baller... Ill be at Edgewater one of these Thursdays

[savetheclutch]

dude that car is sick, I have to take a look at it since I have never seen it in person..

by the way I hate you because I wanted to buy your dahlback manifold the first time you put it up for sale and never got back to me :(

[fenderstrat1184]

ps... what do you do for a living, bc if its that nice to you, i'd really like to get into that field lol

[Kyle H]

My car wants to be like your car when it grows up. Awesome ride, is it better than the cayman? [:p]

[prodrive]

best looking B5 on the planet IMO. Good work !

[itsjeo]

thats pure sex..
..
...
W [o_o] W

[Aliel]

I remember when I saw your car at KMD like 3 years ago back when your TT was more of the project car. It is definitely different now. I just love the way it looks. You did a great job with it. It's an all around great car.

[TighTT]

Adam I am honestly shocked that you are not on the cover of European car or something...

Dont speak too soon. [evilsmile]

[TighTT]

Male stripper.....I haz da movez. [cool]

[TighTT]

is it better than the cayman? [:p]


Its.....different. The Cayman is nowhere near as fast....but handles WAY better. The cayman feels almost as if it can defy physics. The A4 is just a brute when you nail it....yet acts like a lady when driven slowly.

[jarredd]

wow, intense b5.... much props

[20A4Audi1.8t01]

Looks sick as always!

[goody6691]

im gonna have to rub on up and down on your leg next time i see you............as always awesome job. you keep setting the bar. i gotta step up my game. i should have some more goodys by h2o.

[sean1.8t]

ugh. you need to post more pics!
so beautiful!!!!

i like how you finally got the RS4 front on. SOOOOOOOO much better than the reiger [up]. and the interior is even more tits than it was before

so what are your plans for the engine? sounds like your going bigger? 2.1? 2.2?........vr6??[:D]

btw, what do you expect to put down? 500whp?

[Bic-Ball]

you're missing a rear interior light ;)

[goody6691]

picky, picky

[AudiRacerS4]

ugh. you need to post more pics!

probably around 734whp [wrench][drive][;)]

[JumboBlack1.8]

Adam I am honestly shocked that you are not on the cover of European car or something...

My thoughts exactly. In all the issues I´ve read over the last two years, Eurotuner has seemed to cator more to the VW guys than the Audi crowd,....but i don´t necessarily complain much. But this car NEEDS to had its own feature story......Your car has become an absolute masterpiece man. One of the best modified cars I´ve seen, period...not just for a B5. You´ve got some seriously great taste and individuality........and not to mention a KILLER bankroll to fund a gem like this [hail]

[B5 SLPR]

Your car is what my car has dreams of being. That is seriously the most beautiful B5 that I have ever seen. Very well done sir, very well done.

[Siena]

TT, that's a hot-looking B5!

Love the color combo too. [up]

[seank]

Hands down the nicest A4 around, sans the 19's.[up]

[EtanClan]

I'm gonna have to steal your identity man. IMO, that is the perfect B5 and I'm in love with Caymans.... [hail]

[Militant-Grunt]

Definitely THE prettiest B5 around. Surprised you weren't featured in EuroTuner.

Off what car are those seats? B7 RS4?

And can you please post more interior pics, something to aspire towards.

[blkNJ a4]

ive seen the car a few times in person at g2g at chilis and what not, the car is the jaw dropping!

and i saw the porshe last weds. or the week befor at chilis, outstanding.

[AudiRacerS4]

Definitely THE prettiest B5 around. Surprised you weren't featured in EuroTuner.

they are not off any car, the seats are recaro sport toplines custom re-wrapped

[blkNJ a4]

^^ another nice B5 in my area. North Jersey is B5 stomping ground!

[seank]

they are not off any car, the seats are recaro sport toplines custom re-wrapped

They can be found in any EVO.[;)]

[4ringAR]

wow that interior is tits! Well the whole car is tits, but that interior is mindblowing.

and for those saying he should be featured in EuroTuner; I believe his TT was featured in it a couple years back and they did a little blurb about how he picked the A4 up for real cheap and was fixing that up. I think they should do a follow up.

[TighTT]

More pics (PROPER pics) soon...these were just a couple teasers. I have a few more custom pieces in the works for the interior as well.....should look very nice. Classy....yet motorsports oriented.

As AudiRacer said...the seats are Recaro Sport Toplines with a full custom re-wrap.

Oh...and I have yet to see an Evo with heated and cooled seats. [>_<]

[317ssayzarc]

i hope to see you on the dyno or track at waterfest adam [up]

[AudiRacerS4]

They can be found in any EVO.[;)]

i know they come in the evo's but i was talking about adam's seats as they are now with the re-wrap and all. and i think militant-grunt was referring to the seats as if they come in any of the Audi chassis and the answer is no

[TighTT]

i hope to see you on the dyno or track at waterfest adam [up]

Neither are happening.....i'll be too drunk. [:D] [up]

[Dangler]

shizz is nasty....[:D]

[317ssayzarc]

Neither are happening.....i'll be too drunk. [:D] [up]

boooooo... [=(]

i wanna see it run! you can be drunk on the dyno and ive got a designated driver for the track [:D]

[mike-2ptzero]

Neither are happening.....i'll be too drunk. [:D] [up]

But that shouldn't keep the car from making a few runs.


I will be there making runs in a few different cars.[:D]

[TighTT]

But that shouldn't keep the car from making a few runs.

Yes it should. My car is slow.

[B5Burn]

Yup, just as ugly over here, haha.

So sex.

[mike-2ptzero]

Yes it should. My car is slow.

Never know till you run it down the track, hell it could be the fastest A4 1.8t at the track that weekend.

[A4Rob]

Never know till you run it down the track, hell it could be the fastest A4 1.8t at the track that weekend.

Thats about it. All I know[drive]

[Nebone]

I've seen this car in person a few times, but just looking pretty.
Unleast the demon...this is a good advertisement for Sleepers.

[TighTT]

Unleast the demon...

Meh.....those who need to know how fast it is already do. As for Sleepers....they dont need my car to run a 1/4 mile for people to get hyped on them. Their work quality and relibility speaks for itself. [wrench]

[TighTT]

Never know till you run it down the track, hell it could be the fastest A4 1.8t at the track that weekend.

Is your car making the trip to NJ??

[mike-2ptzero]

Is your car making the trip to NJ??

No. 034 said they would but they only have a single car trailer and are taking their silver A4. I cant afford to ship it out or trailer it out because of the price of gas now.

[TighTT]

No. 034 said they would but they only have a single car trailer and are taking their silver A4. I cant afford to ship it out or trailer it out because of the price of gas now.

That sucks. I would have liked to see it make a few passes.

[317ssayzarc]

the vrt should compensate adam [:D]

[TighTT]

the vrt should compensate adam [:D]

Meh....Im more impressed with a 600+WHP 4 banger than a turbo'd VR6....been there done that.

Don't get me wrong...a tVR6 A4 is great (torque!!)....but just not as much of an accomplishment as ringing that type of power out of a much smaller displacement motor.

Make that kind of power AND be daily driver reliable....my kind of car. (my car)

Well let me know if your ever on the west coast Adam.

[TighTT]

Well let me know if your ever on the west coast Adam.

Will do.

At W-fest you're invited to look over my car/engine with a fine-tooth comb. Hopefully Pete and Jamie from Sleepers will be there to go over the finer details of the engine build.

Cool. But to me its all about how those parts move the car 0-100+[>_<]

Would still love to see it run down the track even if it isn't on a hard launch.

[94jedi]

holy crap Adam...by far...the best....IMHO....A4...EVAAAAR.

I know I'll never have the money because you keep fawking making it nicer but if I ever hit the lottery, I'll make you an offer on this car you can't refuse. Seriously, I hate the idea of show cars and trailer queens but damn...this thing is almost too nice to drive. And to think, this is your beater lol.

[TighTT]

Thank you for the kind words. The A4 has moved up in the ranks from "beater" to "project car"....although it still gets driven just about every day. I didn't think the term "beater" was very becoming of a car of the A4's stature.

[minira]

nice! had a thought to do a few interior parts like that. looks great! guess i'm going to have to do plaid or houndstooth!!

[mike-2ptzero]

Well....if you see me around at night during the weekend of W-fest...you'll get to see it move.....just not on the track.

Not exactly the same, unless the streets started handing out time slips. Plus others have thought their A4's were very fast but to only end up running very slow on the track. Even BAT cars can run 14's.

[TighTT]

Maybe so.

I can assure you that my A4 will not run 14's.....maybe 15's...but certainly not 14's. [>_<]

[alen]

So, just a question.. and excuse my noobness here.
You build it up not only aesthetically wise but power wise, and claim how you got this BAT and that clamp and this intake manifold, etc. Why not run it to see what it's got?

and btw, I have to chime in. The car looks balls!

I choose not to run. (Seinfeld)

[A4Rob]

I want to be there when you and Mike Hood meet. If fact I want to tie you 2 up at the ankle and give you both knives :-O

[TMorris]

id love to see all of your pictures in one build up post. Great looking car man, always loved it.

[mike-2ptzero]

I want to be there when you and Mike Hood meet. If fact I want to tie you 2 up at the ankle and give you both knives :-O

LOL. There is no bad blood between the 2 of us. I would just like to see his built car run down the track seeing that he has spent a pretty big amount of money under the hood. I mean its been how long and we still haven't seen a dyno sheet, so a trap speed would give us all an idea of what type of power his car really makes. But its ok I understand, if the car runs badly on the track or dyno at waterfest it might make the shops that built and tuned the car look bad in front of a very big Audi/VW crowd so they really have nothing to gain by running it on the track or dyno during the event.

[alen]

True. While this is not really my motivation for not running....its still a very valid point. While I am curious what kind of power its putting down (we will dyno it at some point) its just not that important to me at this particular juncture. I know its fast, my friends know its fast, the guy in the R8 and Roush mustang know its fast....thats all I need. (for now)

LOL, please not with the street racing kills again. As we all know not everyone on the street can race or is racing, this is why street kills are pretty pointless.

[alen]

not getting snippy with you. you come on a public forum posting installs, pictures, all the parts you put on, etc. did you not expect any other replies beside "ooh la la" "best B5 ever"? i asked you a pretty simple question, that's it.

While I dont totally agree...I understand your point. BTW...no one said anything about street racing.

[TQMB5]

why the fuck does everyone need a time slip or dyno numbers. Its not your car, its not a race car, its an enthusiest car who enjoys driving it. If he doesnt want to run it or dyno it, who cares. Would love to hear some peoples reasoning for trying to take away for his car.

Finally...someone else that see's the deal! [hail] [up]


I could totally understand if I made some outrageous claim like "This car will run 10's when finished". But the simple fact is than even if it ran a 14....it wouldnt matter to me.
I think for some people on here....dyno numbers and 1/4 miles times are all they have....which is kinda sad. [=(]

[B5Burn]

I can understand the direction taken here... I bought my car with all it's add-ons, completely understanding its lineage and how well it can take what I throw at it.. and I have talked with friends about it all also... I have a ton of friends asking me to track it and some day I want to.. but they seem hung up on that alone... as though nothing else interests them and they joke about the car being just another VW then, cool for them, but not my game.

Enjoy the ride, keep building her up.. 1/4 mile it or track it one day if you want, but I know I picked up my 'mistress' for all kinds of reasons - none of which are to satisfy someone else's curiosity.[cool]

Actually his car is used by a shop to show off their work, why do you think its always in the booth at Waterfest? But its hard to sell it if no one can see what it does where actual #'s are produced.

[TighTT]

You couldn't be more incorrect. First off...saying that "its always in the booth at Waterfest" just shows how uninformed you really are. It was in their booth for 1 day...at last years Waterfest. You have a very skewed idea of what is really going on here. I paid Sleepers to build an engine/turbo kit for me. During this process i found that they are BY FAR the best shop I have ever dealt with. Because of this, I offered the car to be in their booth last year for a day....just so they could answer any questions regarding the intricacies of the build. No one is selling anything. Sleepers makes serious 1-off induction systems...not mass-produced crap that other people shill-out.

[goody6691]

adams car is not a track whore, its an everyday whore. name me one person who drives his big ass turbo car in the winter, with hre's as winter wheels. he built the car for him, not to post up huge dyno numbers or low e.t's.

i've been up to sleepers with adam and i can attest to the fact that everything they build is one-off and from the ground up. +1 for jaime and the other guys [up]

[alen]

jealousy at its finest

thanks for your contribution.
if you can hint at one single ounce of jealousy from that post let me know.
i could care less about anybody's car on here. however i don't because i love these cars and people's efforts to make them beautiful and functional.
many b5 owners moved on to b6 or b7 or bmws, and seeing a great looking and functional b5 once in a while certainly adds some stiffness in my pants.
i make enough money and willingness to splurge on my a4 and make it just like Adam's. however, i am happy with it exactly where it's at.

read the post again and make a more sensical reply.

[sean1.8t]

^the thing is, your reply to Adam was not sensical.

HE built his car, HE drives his car, HE owns his car. so HE can do whatever the fuck he wants with it. and he doesn't have to explain himself. many people have asked him why, and he has answered. go back and read before you post

[ThirdStrike]

I paid Sleepers to build an engine/turbo kit for me. During this process i found that they are BY FAR the best shop I have ever dealt with.
i guess this is the major difference between you and mike..?
built not bought.
nevertheless i cant post without giving you props on your car. its definitely nice[up]
some dyno sheets to back it would be nice-r[;)]

[goody6691]

mike built his car too. its just built with a different purpose. mike tracks his car, it is no longer a daily driver. adams car started out as a "beater" as has become one of, if not, the niceest a4's on the board. and i is daily driven, even in the winter. i will continue to walk in his shadow.

[ThirdStrike]

mike built his car too. its just built with a different purpose.
you missed my point. mike built his car, op paid to have his built.
im assuming here but i think mike see's things differently because he turned his own wrenches.
i know after i got done with my car's upgrades i couldnt wait to see how my work paid off on a dyno.
maybe im totally off base tho...

[sean1.8t]

^you think that mike built his engine? did his own tuning?

hahaha

i thought he built his own engine... tuning no i know 034 did that but..

Mike used 034 Motorsport
Adam used Sleepers

[TighTT]

i guess this is the major difference between you and mike..?
built not bought.
nevertheless i cant post without giving you props on your car. its definitely nice[up]
some dyno sheets to back it would be nice-r[;)]

Please don't make the assumption than because Sleepers made all the major fabrication contributions that I had no hand in the car. I have installed 4 different turbos in my A4 (in my f*cking driveway) and have spend HUNDREDS of bloody hand hours working on every aspect of it...from bodywork, to engine, stereo, and suspension. Saying "guess this is the major difference between you and mike..?" is a gross oversight. [down]

[mike-2ptzero]

^you think that mike built his engine? did his own tuning?

hahaha

No because I am not a "engine builder" or a "tuner". Its not that I couldn't do the work, I just wouldn't feel safe pushing it like I do. This is why I let the shops do the new work that I want done, but between those times I do wrench on my own car.


Why would I need to tune my own car? I got free custom tuning from GIAC for 5 years before jumping to a 034 stand alone.[:D]

BTW my car was fully tuned to what it makes now in less then 8 hrs after the engine was put back in the car. Can you say that about Adams car?[;)]

maybe you didnt notice the '...?' it was in form of a question. dont get all bent out of shape. it just sounded like u dumped an assload of money on a car you never wrenched on, which obviously is not the case.
my bad

[goody6691]

ive done a lot of wrenching on my own car too. i have 11 years of blood, sweat, tears, and endless visa bills. the only thing i wont do is motor or clutch work. i see no light at the end of the tunnel, i dont plan on ever being completely "done"with the car. its getting tuned soon, bodymods, and a full stereo hopefully all before h2o. anyone can write a check to build a car. i like building my own car. it feels better in the end.

[TighTT]

Can you say that about Adams car?[;)]

Lets not make this an Adam vs. Mike debate....OK Mike??

[TighTT]

No worries. I wassnt getting bend out of shape. Its tough to communicate non-verbally though the internet.....know what I mean?

[alen]

^the thing is, your reply to Adam was not sensical.

HE built his car, HE drives his car, HE owns his car. so HE can do whatever the fuck he wants with it. and he doesn't have to explain himself. many people have asked him why, and he has answered. go back and read before you post

and where the fuck do i say i want to see a fucking slip? i just asked him a question, stop licking his balls in defense. i know it's his fucking car. he came on the public forum to post information, pictures, whatever. i think it's only fair to ask a question. i wasn't calling him out, i wasn't calling his car BS. just ASKED A SIMPLE FUCKING QUESTION [:)]

[ILoveT]

God this fucking car looks awful.

[TighTT]

stop licking his balls in defense.

No one is licking anyone's balls.
The problem is: This has been debated time and time again. Everytime I post a pic of my car (no matter how non-engine related it is) a small group of certain people (not you) turn it into a "why dont you dyno or run the 1/4" debate. [rolleyes]
Thats why myself and others respond the way we do.

[alen]

i understand and that is why i (at least) try to not jump on any bandwagons. in the end everybody's doing things to their taste, and that's only respectable.

like i said before, great looking car and i bet it's a monster on track.

[Bigjuice]

On or off the track, this is still a nice car...

Good work TighTT

Do you still have the other steering wheel?

Yes....but Im keeping it.

[317ssayzarc]

adam, have you looked into doing a leather dash? ive been thinking about it....

[TighTT]

adam, have you looked into doing a leather dash? ive been thinking about it....

Thought about it....for about 1 second...then came to my senses. The work involved (stitching) would be crazy and, IMO, the dash will never go back together as tightly as it was prior to the dismantling. I HATE rattles!! [headbang]

[317ssayzarc]

[start leather dash rant]

yea i didnt worrt about the dash as id make sure to put it back together right, i have no problem taking it apart again to fix a rattle lol... the part i worried about is this, a) shrinkage over time and b) the fading

i work on alot of cars with leather dashes, and when i first thought about doing a leather dash one particular car came to mind... this 550 maranello that has such bad shrinking its tearing the stitching:

http://i239.photobucket.com/albums/ff52/crazyass713/Lamm%20550%20Maranello/interoirdriversdooroepn.jpg

and the fading, esp on the red (seat):

http://i239.photobucket.com/albums/ff52/crazyass713/Lamm%20550%20Maranello/dashfrompassengersseat.jpg

even on this brand new f430 that came in theres some stretching/wrinkles... it looks good from afar in the first pic but look at the corner of the glove box in the second pic...

http://i239.photobucket.com/albums/ff52/crazyass713/F430/carbonfiberairvents.jpg

i can only imagine how the tan, black and the dark blue (pretty much all leather fades!) on these cars will fare with fading...

http://i239.photobucket.com/albums/ff52/crazyass713/P1030547.jpg

http://i239.photobucket.com/albums/ff52/crazyass713/0425080803.jpg


i can deal with the maintenance that leather requires and the fogging of the inside of the glass from the decay and even the price to do it... its the durability that bothers me most...
