    NEW guy here

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    So i'm on some forums here in indy and i've got a C5 A6 2.7T 6-speed. Got a decent deal on it and have lost my ass on it due to expensive Audi repairs. so far I've just been keeping it up and running well and it's time to do some things I really like. I would like to get the headlights that eliminate the orange (mostly bc mine are foggy anyway) and some wheels. Car has 120k and the clutch it gonna go out soon (it's stock from factory) so I was thinking about an ACT stage 2 clutch... what else can I do for the car that is relatively cheap and can help extend the life/power on the car?

    Nice to see another Indiana member here, you can do a custom exhaust and a K&N or some type of intake fairly cheap. I would recommend doing coilovers or struts/springs with the wheels to complete the look. There are tons of things you can do for not a ton of money. I might see you around some time because we go cruise in Indy all the time when it is nice.
