Ok, so the pics didn't exactly show up, but I'm on the right track. Anyway, it's a 99 A4, it has about 102k on it, but it's in really good shape, at least after I cleaned up all the smoke scum in it. 5 speed, sport wheels, sport wheel, leatherette, front-trak, 1.8T with a new turbo. Anyway, I love the car, almost as fun as my 911, but far more practical with a baby. It needs what I'm pretty sure are front control arms, and some new shocks, but right now it's good enough. It'll stay stock until I come up with more cash, then it's chip time!

NICE!!! I love the Ecru interior, but I'm biased...

Of course, you can never go wrong with Santorin Blue. Love it!

Any plans on upgrades?

Thanks guys, the color, inside and out, is what sold me on the car. Right now I'm focusing on repair/ PM type stuff. It's getting Mobil 1 5/30 this weekend, and within the next week I'm doing fuel filter, air filter, and spark plugs. Within the near future I also think I may change the brake fluid and tranny lube. I also have to find the source of a rattle at about 3k, which I think is a loose heat shield on the exhaust, and I think I may have a small exhaust leak. It also could stand to have the front control arms replaced/ rebuilt, and new shocks. None of it is pressing though, so I'll be able to do it as I go. Mods wise, for now I want to chip it, add a subtle turbo back exhaust (toss the cat), APR center mount boost gauge, one piece e-code xenon lights, and I need to look into the advantages of upgrading the DV, etc. Oh yeah, tires too, it has Futura (Pep Boys) tires on the front, pure crap.
