nice dude, wish you were a bit lower all the way around...especially in the front though....

besides that your engine bay would look alot cleaner with a new coolant res....

keep up the good work!...look forward to the photoshoot!

I agree completely... I picked up the Neuspeed sports for $50 shipped brand new off of eBay, but now I really want some Neuspeed Race's or even coilovers, but I need a new clutch first...

...has anyone painted their coolant reservoir? I think that would clean up the engine bay a lot rather than buying a new one just for it to change to that orange color as well...?

Santorin Avants FTW

Looks good, but I'm a firm believer in sporting the rings. Looks to plain up front imo. I've always liked the wasps.

[nrowensby]

Yeah... I really liked the way the B6's look with the Quattro only on the front so I figured I would try it on my B5... :D

[DuviVr6]

looking nice man!!

is that the AWE gauge pod?

It's definately worth it to get a new one because by now yours (i know mine is) is probably going to start cracking and leaking. Plus a new one looks really clean in the engine bay, and combined with the pink coolant, looks pretty cool I think.

http://www.autopartswarehouse.com/se...294967264+9341 Thats for an S4, but I'm sure they have it for an A4.

Looks good man, nice work.

How are you going to read the level line if you paint your coolant tank? They are trasnparent for a reason. Just pick up a a B6 tank, it's white, not yellow, and I believe the coolant sensor plug is the same. If not, I think 01 B5's might have a white tank too.

Put the front rings back on :]. Why is your neuspeed sports so high still..I have neuspeed sprots and I only have a 1.5finger gap up front and 2.5 finger gap in the rear :|

[nrowensby]

Okay... i was actually reading about a Neuspeeds being consistently inconsistent with their springs, aparently they have no quality control. It's okay... It's getting Race springs soon. :D

[audiluxary]

Stop messing around with all the different rims man and drop that biatch.

Nice car though, it seems that avants keep groing on me alot, I think I could rock a nice volcano black avant slammed with a wide body kit... that would look tits.

[nrowensby]

It's on Neuspeed sports now... but I have some H&R Race springs on the way :D

Those will NOT disappoint.

[the_pirate]

you should have kept the huffs and slammed it on the ground

i love avants.....keep the pics coming!

[BONFIRE074]

time for HIDs and e-codes or facelift headlights!

[nrowensby]

Yeah... There are one-piece lights on there now... Those aren't the most recent pictures ;)

[audi til I die]

I kinda liked the first boost gauge better. Didn't seem to stand out as much. I'm another converted avant fan. First I couldn't stand wagons but Audi's are soooo sexy. +1,000 on a Volcano Avant. Santorin is nice too :D

[nrowensby]

I just didn't like the lighting on the first boost gauge... I am still thinking about getting a VDO gauge that will look like the first one, but light up red instead of indiglo :D

[audi til I die]

I just put a red LED in my VDO but it only lights up "turbo". Lol. The #'s are dim so I stayed with a red dome light bulb from AutoZone. Although its not as a fiery red as the stock dash lights, it goes well.
