Newb from Chicago checking in!

Hey guys I am new from Chicago, I just picked up a 98' Audi A4 1.8T Quattro with a 5spd. manual. It has around 141K miles on it but looks like it was extremely well cared for, the only problem with the car is that I can't find the maintenace history - so looks like I'll be doing the timing belt soon . I am fairly new to VW/Audi cars, where have you been when I was tooling around with those Honda's and Nissan's!

Here are some pics of my new stock B5 (pics from previous owner):





My little bro's VR6 got me hooked on Audi/VW:



My 96 "Nissan Primera" - rear-ended bad = new Audi!


And, my winter beater:

welcome!

what are the plans for the audi?

Well, everytime I get a new car I tell myself i am going to keep it stock, but I am always tempted to start modding, for one thing my cashflow is an issue.

I plan to to change the timing belt in the summer. Maybe if I had the funds I want to get a set of B6 sport rims and maybe get a Forge DV. Probably no chip or K04 for me, well not yet. Nothing too insane, just keep it clean looking and keep up on everything maintenace wise, I just put in a set of NGK Iridium plugs BKR6EIX, changed coolant temp sensor and I already installed HID's and clear corners and side repeaters to improve the looks.

i would definitely get some b6 sport wheels. I used to have them before i got my new wheels and loved the oem look.

you'll feel that BT or chip bug biting you soon

^^^ Thanks for the input. I have been browsing the forums and seen a few B5 with the B6 sport wheels, they look amazing. Hopefully I can score a nice set when summer comes around.
