Just took delievery of my newest toy. I found a 2000 Audi A4 1.8t, 5 speed manual for sale just 4 miles from my house. It’s a higher mileage car (150k) but it runs beautifully & goes down the road like a champ. Very clean car, few tiny spots of rust & some little scratches, nothing some tlc wont fix. As of now, the car is entirely bone stock aside from some 6k hids. It’s been perfectly maintained over the past 10 years & I feel it’s a solid buy. It’s hibiscus red which is a nice rare color. My plans for the audi are pretty simple as of now. Plans are: diverter valve, have broadway muffler build a custom borla turboback exhaust, b6 a4 sport 5 spoke rims, clear corner mod & lower it either on h&r springs or spend the extra $ for some coilovers. I’m hoping my parents & grandparents will buy me some aftermarket parts for xmas but that may just be a dream. Here’s some pics of it. Sorry’s it’s a tad dirty, I didn’t have time to wash it today. Let me know what you guys think. ![http://i1011.photobucket.com/albums/af239/cjconlon692/2000%20Audi%20A4/theaudi002.jpg?t=1290484243](http://i1011.photobucket.com/albums/af239/cjconlon692/2000%20Audi%20A4/theaudi002.jpg?t=1290484243) ![http://i1011.photobucket.com/albums/af239/cjconlon692/2000%20Audi%20A4/theaudi009.jpg?t=1290484243](http://i1011.photobucket.com/albums/af239/cjconlon692/2000%20Audi%20A4/theaudi009.jpg?t=1290484243) ![http://i1011.photobucket.com/albums/af239/cjconlon692/2000%20Audi%20A4/theaudi003.jpg?t=1290484243](http://i1011.photobucket.com/albums/af239/cjconlon692/2000%20Audi%20A4/theaudi003.jpg?t=1290484243) ![http://i1011.photobucket.com/albums/af239/cjconlon692/2000%20Audi%20A4/theaudi004.jpg?t=1290484243](http://i1011.photobucket.com/albums/af239/cjconlon692/2000%20Audi%20A4/theaudi004.jpg?t=1290484243) ![http://i1011.photobucket.com/albums/af239/cjconlon692/2000%20Audi%20A4/theaudi005.jpg?t=1290484243](http://i1011.photobucket.com/albums/af239/cjconlon692/2000%20Audi%20A4/theaudi005.jpg?t=1290484243) ![http://i1011.photobucket.com/albums/af239/cjconlon692/2000%20Audi%20A4/theaudi007.jpg?t=1290484243](http://i1011.photobucket.com/albums/af239/cjconlon692/2000%20Audi%20A4/theaudi007.jpg?t=1290484243) ![http://i1011.photobucket.com/albums/af239/cjconlon692/2000%20Audi%20A4/theaudi012.jpg?t=1290484243](http://i1011.photobucket.com/albums/af239/cjconlon692/2000%20Audi%20A4/theaudi012.jpg?t=1290484243) ---

i like hibiscus. i looked around for one before i bought my TDi, but couldnt find the one for me. ultimate B5 color though : Cactus Green Pearl. hows the driver seat/arm rest looking? usually both are torn up timing belt service? you should buy the B5 S4 steering wheel AMD IS THE BEST has. black with airbag. heard the price is good, way better than the stock 4spoke non sport package one. ---

Picked up a set of 17x7.5 audi a4 dual spoke rims off craigslist today. Not perfect, but they’ll make a nice project to do over my Christmas break. I’m debating on which color i want to paint them. I’m torn between re-painting them silver or doing them a dark gold. Let me know what you guys think. ![http://i1011.photobucket.com/albums/af239/cjconlon692/2000%20Audi%20A4/rims.jpg?t=1294015593](http://i1011.photobucket.com/albums/af239/cjconlon692/2000%20Audi%20A4/rims.jpg?t=1294015593) ---

Just updating what’s been done to the audi so far. I got an A.W.E DV1 Diverter Valve & an ebay rs4 knock off grill for christmas from my parents. Recently i had a custom borla catback done. Car’s been running great & has been a blast in the snow. Can’t wait til the spring when i can get it laying low. ![http://i1011.photobucket.com/albums/af239/cjconlon692/2000%20Audi%20A4/rs4grill.jpg?t=1294015910](http://i1011.photobucket.com/albums/af239/cjconlon692/2000%20Audi%20A4/rs4grill.jpg?t=1294015910) ![http://i1011.photobucket.com/albums/af239/cjconlon692/2000%20Audi%20A4/audi003.jpg?t=1294015954](http://i1011.photobucket.com/albums/af239/cjconlon692/2000%20Audi%20A4/audi003.jpg?t=1294015954) ---
