What Did You Do To Your B7 Today?..

[B7Joe]

Started with this:

Ended up with this:

Need to shave it later and a quick buff.

Also used the occasion to do this:

Looks great. Amazing what a minor design change can do.

Edit: where'd you pick up the triangle? Mine didn't come with one either.

By "shave" you mean de-badge? Are you swapping the UNI II badge? Kinda like it.

[Axis]

Yes I meant de-badge it and no I wont put back the Uni badge, I find I always end up having kids pushing me to se how fast my car is, can be annoying.

Snow tires are so damn noisy.

Wow, that is one beautiful combo! And has to be the rarest combo of the A4's?

indeed it is.

[drewgold]

What tires are you running? It's generally the directional design that makes them noisy but brand makes a big difference. I Have Michelin x-ice Xi-2's and they're not more noisy than my Dunlop summers. Waaaayyy quieter than my Hankook iPike winters which were my last set.

I have heard that the Michelin Xi-3's are even better. You really get what you pay for with tires.

Nothing yet, since I just bought it! woot!





Already have an AWE boost gauge in the mail. Looks like I'll also have to replace the HID bulbs as one of them flickers and goes out sometimes giving a dropped headlight error. Let the fun begin ;)

Those are bi-xenon's .....bulbs are expensive...but so worth it.

[plpete]

I absolutely did love the light output. Puts everything else I owned to shame. Still don't know if they are adaptive tho. I found a set of Osram bulbs for about $160 at ECS so although not cheap but better than a dealer price.

Love it, welcome to the B7 life. Nice find on finding one with Bi-Xenon's preinstalled. Thats an expensive mod to retrofit

Congrats dude! Get some Osram CBIs right now during theretrofitsource.com's black friday sale. $160 a pair, and you'll never need to replace them again. Trust me, I got cheap bulbs the first time around and ordered the CBIs not 5 months later.

B7's didnt come with the warning triangle, the B6's did, I got it from the salvage yard of a B6 at the same time I grabbed the Sline trunk lid.

I traded my pain in the ass A4 for a new Fusion SE today. Even though I got screwed over by the previous owner, I just love the A4 design...so I'm keeping my eyes peeled for another one. But in the meantime, that means I don't need any of my repair manuals, my VCDS cable, or my cheetah cable anymore. I'll be putting them up in the classified board this week, when I get a chance to get boxes for them and pack them up.

Front end clunks that I couldn't find, HVAC problems, turbo went out, fuel codes that never went away, engine knock sensor recurring code. The PO straight up lied to my face, and I ended up putting a lot of time and parts into it to get it running and dependable. But, I never seemed to have the car running well for more than a week or two, lol. In the end, I decided to have my daily driver be maintenance free and covered under warranty...plus, my wife fucking hated that car, haha.

[kegobeer]

Thanks, man. I think I'll be hanging around the forums, though. With all the time I put into replacing most of the parts on the car, I'm really close to getting my Audi mechanic achievement badge, haha.

Yikes hahaha sounds like good riddance then.

Yeah, pretty much! I didn't lose my ass on the trade, either - got exactly what I paid for it, which is well above KBB trade in. When it's the end of the year, a car dealer will do pretty much anything to get cars off the lot!

Holy shit that's a lot of problems you had there.same with my last mazda 3 I had. It had so many problems i said fuck it. Front end clucked no matter what i changed. Transmission started jerking,changed fluid an got worst. Dashboard lights started going out.it had a steering wheel vibration at 60mph that i never got rid of after changing the front end suspension. I WAS LIKE FUCK THIS. went to audi and got the A4

[dalmation53]

Went to Audi stealership and baught N80 valve. $37 and got it right away.with jhm was the same price but did not want to wait for shipping. Replacing tommorow to get rid of that cel. Hard time starting the car.

Probably some sort of 2 stroke engine swap. Jake did you replace your ignition with a pull cord?

[B7Joe]

Snagged a couple pics yesterday:

Why does that rear end look so wide?? And yes, that's a compliment. lol Must be the angle or something.

[Jake@JHM]

I secretly did a wide body conversion ;) Yeah it is the angle/reflection

[Mc Suly]

Haha possibly!

[klrider44]

Discovered this unplugged. Any idea what it may be for?

[klrider44]

It's under the rear flip up change holder of the center console

[dalmation53]

Black b7's in black look wider is the color man. My buddy has a silver b7 and when we wash our cars and compare ass to ass mines looks wider. It really isn't it's all color.

B7's didnt come with the warning triangle, the B6's did, I got it from the salvage yard of a B6 at the same time I grabbed the Sline trunk lid.

Oh yeah and I forgot to put this pic from yesterday. One of my buddy's saw me doing asshole parking and send me the pic lol.

This connects to the center console cell phone electronics. It's a useless proprietary cellphone connection dock option that is contained in your center console/armrest compartment, if you have that option. I forcibly removed it to create more room in the compartment, and have left that connector unplugged as well. There were two connections to the center console/armrest in my car; that was one of them.

How did you remove it? Any damage?
Btw, know of a cheap alternative for the armrest lid?
I have the phone cradle.
