New To This Forum, Meet Adriana My Audi :)

[B8Nate]

I bought her used, 1 owner with 60k miles on her about 3 months ago. I have since put a little over 1k miles on her, and lots of tasteful mods. Previous owner luckily already had k04 turbo installed, and carbonio apr intake. I then added the apr cat back + down pipe, apr turbo muffler delete, forge DV, vossen cv3 20" wheels (had from my last car) w/ Michelin Pilot Sports, KW V1 coil overs, have 6000k hid bulbs in halogen headlights (looking for projector housing headlamps) , Rieger rear diffuser, s4 front bumper, s4 side skirts and s4 trunk lip / spoiler , I have had a few little issues with the car when installing coilovers as well as some mechanical issues with oil level sensor being faulty and replaced and still being faulty, also with carbon build up shortly after purchasing the car causing it to misfire, I then read a DIY on here on how to do it myself, seems to me coming from a 370z forum that you guys are just as friendly and helpful, thanks in advance for answering any questions and welcoming Adriana the b8 A4 and me , Nate Jones. Thanks :) and if there's any questions for me ever feel free to PM and ask, as well as any advice on anything I've done to the car. Thank you guys in advance!

Nice find! Love those wheels

Welcome! When I saw the pictures I thought this was on air... Is it static? That's insanely low.

Edit:
The HID conversion is pretty straightforward, there's massive thread on it in the tech section. Happy to send a parts list if it'd be helpful.

Nice. Wow, I assumed you were on air! Those roads must be amazing in AR to be that low!

[doug97gxe]

she goes down low often i see

[JeriQo]

beautiful car but that fresh as fuck license plate has to go tho

thats something hella flush owners would do.

[Smellie]

very nice! how do you like the forge dv?

Is it loud/noticeable with the carbonio?

Ha. you don't find the Fresh as F*ck plate frame tasteful? or the BOV?

[Crucible35]

LOL.....you got me.....I think it was the combo....."FasF", BOV, That drop on coilovers (?), and I hate that reiger valence every time I see it. But, hey it's his car, all subjective, let him turn subtle into sledgehammer.

[antlaurence]

to each their own right? or do we all have to have the same mods approved by the forum gods before we post?

i like everything about it man. don't think you'd get away with driving it that low on seattles shitty streets tho. can't believe that's on coils!

i gave him an advice and suggestion.

i mean you post pics here, it will either get props or criticized. but youre right, to each their own. if he wants to keep the phresh as phuck plate, hes more able to do so lol

[NPuter]

You're static at that height?
Also, I see rieger front and side skirts?

Haha yes COIL OVERS, we all have our own taste, I'm 21 I'm sure my taste it a lot different than yours and that's okay. Your car looks completely bone stock and if I'm going to have a car I like to put my own signature on it I guess. I've built all my cars with my own money and my own ideas. Honestly I like a little hate, means I'm doing something right. No hard feelings though.

very nice! how do you like the forge dv?

Is it loud/noticeable with the carbonio?

I LOVE IT. The carbonio intake already makes the turbo whistle louder and feels more touchy on throttle. But the DV paired with the turbo muffler delete by @APR is absolutely amazing sound, not too loud to sound ricey. But plenty loud when compared to stock. The whooosh and the turbo spool is much more noticeable. Def a head turner.

beautiful car but that fresh as fuck license plate has to go tho

thats something hella flush owners would do.

I agree. That was on my 370z and I just transferred it over, it looked even more dumb when it was bone stock a few months ago lol I've been looking for a subtle audi one, or something similar to keep it OE looking in the license plate area. Thank you. Honestly that's constructive criticism b/c I'm truly planning to do something about that hahaha

she goes down low often i see

Very much so! Haha

Nice. Wow, I assumed you were on air! Those roads must be amazing in AR to be that low!

Actually, Arkansas roads are HORRIBLE.Pot holes, cracks, pavement fill ins everywhere, water doesn't run off the roads right, everything you think of when you think of "arkansas roads" like being gravel roads and crappy over looking a stable of cousins and farm animals is correct. I live in the city of little rock so it's lots better than out towards the country. But no honestly lol it's horrible. I'm constantly swerving, avoiding, and def a head turner b/c when there's nothing but lifted trucks and like 20-30 slammed cars in the whole state, a slammed car gets lots of looks, especially a luxury slammed car like an audi. LOL

Welcome! When I saw the pictures I thought this was on air... Is it static? That's insanely low.

It IS indeed static. KW V1 coil overs. A lot of people locally ask me because I'm "tucking" but that's only b/c they're 20's it makes the car look A LOT lower than it really is. I mean yes it is low, but I have a couple VW guys on 17's that are frame banging around the state. My frames never hit, only exhaust HINTS: why I deleted 1 muffler on the APR cat back it was dragging all the time + was a little too quiet for my taste, deleting the one muffler made it just a touch louder, still deep good clean sound, still has 2 mufflers and a resonator.

PS that's another thing that'll really piss the older folks off on this forum "OMG HE HAS A BOV AND A FASF LICENSE PLATE AND THE LITTLE RETARD CUT INTO A 2,700 EXHAUST, WTF" hahaha

Nice find! Love those wheels

Thank you very much! I got them for a steal a couple years ago, they retailed for nearly 3 grand when the set was new and I got them a little over 1500.

Got any sound clips, really interested in your carbonio/ forge do setup!

Also FOR THE RECORD, I do NOT use the brush at the car wash. I hand wash my car. With a microfiber mitt, I also keep it polished, waxed and a spray detailer on it between washes. The meteor grey pearl is absolutely beautiful in the sunlight and I wouldn't risk scratching it. Just wanted to clarify that. So no one's like "OMG he's washing it at a crappy manual car wash, he's gonna scratch his paint." I feel like it was coming eventually. lol

Absolutely, I have a few drive bys, as well as some light revs and some launches on my phone. But they're videos. If you'd kindly let me know how to convert a video onto here, or if videos won't upload I could get some sound clips. But still not sure how to go about uploading that.

Best way is probably to upload them to youtube and link them here!

You sure right! I got you! It'll be after I get off work. If that's cool, I'll upload them here as soon as I get them uploaded and transferred from YouTube!

[STA4]

Nice list of mods, one correction though, those aren't S4 skirts, they're an OEM option (8K00716859AX).

I can't believe you can drive around slammed like that. Do you have a dead body in the trunk? My only criticism is that the rear looks saggy.

[B8Nate]

You're static at that height?
Also, I see rieger front and side skirts?

yes reiger rear diffuser, side skirts and front s4 style bumper. EDIT: not s4 side skirts apparently OE option for the a4 ** thanks to @STA4

hey man no hard feelings, I love my car. And true you did just give me what I asked for. Nothing personal. You like your car you pay for. And I like the car I pay for. All that matters right? lol but I ordered a vossen license plate frame from texas, will post updated pics with it lol

Arkansas roads are horrible too man. I get away with it somehow, sometimes nearly pissing on myself and busting my spleen and rattling teeth, but hey it looks cool haha kidding.

Sorry just now saw these posts. ^

[ModdedEuros]

Very nice. Welcome

Ah okay thanks, wasn't sure I got the parts locally not offline, so I just went off what I was told, they looked good imo so I bought them idc what brand they are, nice to know they're oem tho. and yes def a task to drive around like this, but it's worth it when driving in a crowded area

[JeriQo]

just bc we constructively criticize you doesnt mean we hate you

noone hates you lol

Well this is the reason I can't go any lower in the front and the back looks a little saggy.

oh absolutely I know exactly how forums work! Had a 5.0 mustang those are the biggest bunch of d*cks on the forum world lol then 370 guys and now audi guys! So I take heat well. No worries. I WILL be replacing that F AS F license plate frame as soon as the metal vossen one comes in! And will update you personally haha

Why not raise the rear to match the fronts?

Well, we are not a big bunch of dicks. They buy S cars. We are peasants with humorous smart mouths.

[B8Nate]

I can't do it, I've seen a lot of big name guys in the car scene go back static from bags. Maybe if I my fiance and I get stationed in a worse state than Arkansas. I might look at air. Arkansas roads are terrible and I still refuse to go air.

Awesome!

How much do you rub on those roads? And do you still have your tire walls?

I don't even feel that low and I rub on a lot of small bumps at 19x8.5.


Sorry for all the questions, your ride amazes me haha

Sorry for all the questions, your ride amazes me haha

oh no man that's what I'm here for, share knowledge, experience, get info and experience from others, ain't that what forums are for? LOL I do rub when turning fully, up until about 3/4 turned left or right I don't rub, when fully 85-100% turned on the wheel it does start to rub. They're 20x9 and I have a 265/30 tire on them. I am just about to upload 2 of the 4 videos I uploaded to YouTube. For some reason here at work I could only get 2 videos to upload on our crappy guest wifi. So it'll give you an idea of the BOV sound outside the car and a couple light pulls. At the end of the longer 56 sec video you'll hear the gravel rub on my fender when I pull into a parking spot.

[Smellie]

Damn! 265/30's!

I guess I'd be fine running a 235/35 on my 19x10s

[19birel]

That plate frame haha

The car looks nice though, some OEM xenon headlights and OEM led tail lights would really help it IMO. I have to ask though, why are you static at that height? I mean I know all the "scene kids" are static, but you bought a nice car, why trash your subframe and undercarriage for scene points when you could get air?

[B8Nate]

Damn! 265/30's!

I guess I'd be fine running a 235/35 on my 19x10s

yeah man 235/35 should be plenty, when I get new tires I'm going to run a 255/30 just to stop the rubbing just a little more.

PS MAN I GOT THE YOUTUBE VIDEOS FINALLY TO UPLOAD OF MY EXHAUST, DV, INTAKE SETUP. Here's the links man!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GYdJf-3nl50 inside the car (windows down) sound clip, can't hear much of the DV slightly but mostly you can hear exhaust and the more noticeable spooling noise when accelerating.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O6krtyL0sHY in this video you can def hear the spool a lot more clear and the DV is def there as well
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kCvVvp6YWf0 little acceleration from outside the car as well as some light revs and DV noise
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZKnpKrAw5OY probably the most clear DV "whooosh" noise present in this video , def much louder in person that's letting off right at about 19psi of boost (almost max what I'm running @ my current setup) so that's about the loudest it gets is when I let off with 18-20psi built.

That plate frame haha

When I get the Vossen licene plate frame I def know where I'm going to put the FRESH AS F#@K plate up for sale. Right here on this forum since there's so many takers haha just kidding,

but to answer your static vs air question , can I afford air? yes. Can I install air? yes. Do I want to? No. Do I respect people on air? No.
I'm not going for "scene points", I personally respect people who daily their static cars no matter how low or high. I like to park it how I drive it. I have a few pieces of sheet metal I will be having professionally welded and bolted up under the car to protect sub frame, so far I've only scraped exhaust and now that the middle muffler is removed I barely scrape. My front bumper gets the most love from the pavement all on the under side is scratched but I had it touched up and now there's a clear bra on the bottom part and it hasn't done anything but scuff that up its very thick protective stuff. So to answer your question honestly, I don't respect people with air, sure it'd be cool in some ways. Sure make things easier, but that's the fun,respectable part of being low, getting the crazy looks from people for being so low, getting the crazy looks from car people when I tell them it's static and I scrape over speed bumps at car meets "like why didn't you just air up?" "uhh cause I can't" lol.
It's all about what I want and what I like. Personally I just don't have a NEED for air at the moment, I haven't ruined anything, I'm under the car a lot, the plastic splash guards are still in tact, sub frame bolts and pieces aren't hit, tranny mounts and bottom of tranny metal brace aren't messed up, the 20's keep the cars frame off the ground honestly. like I said the bumper takes the worst of it, and even it's not horrible. So personally I prefer to stay static as long as I can the KW'S are some of the best riding coils I've ever had. They ride like OE even at that low. Not bouncy, not stiff. Handles 10x better than any a4 I've driven everything seems much more in control and stiff when turning or accelerating. Bags sway I've driven bagged cars and I personally just don't like how they feel. And really if the day should ever come that I buy air, I'd ride at this height still and only lift up when absolutely need be. So yes it's a nice car, but no I have yet to ruin anything and don't think I will especially once the sheet metal is installed to further protect everything. I like the way static cars handle, I like the respect from myself and others for being static. I like the way coils ride at least the KW'S. And besides the install I haven't had any issues with the coils. So until I ruin something major (highly unlikely) even at my current ride height or just have no self respect left I'll probably stay static. And that's no offense to anyone on air, it's just not MY thing. There's plenty of reason air is better, honestly do I think air is better? Yes. But is it me? Is it what I want? No. & No. Hopefully that explains why I'm so statically low and ok with it.
