I’d like to find a 2g gsx eclipse but they’re pricey & either heavily modified or trashed. Maybe a honda crx, or an older rx7. I just want a 2 doors that’s light, has a strong aftermarket for, can be done nicely on a budget & something to work on for the long term. So we’ll see. Never know what deals will pop up this summer Anytime sounds cool man, interested in seeing what you’re going to end up with pretty much a fan of all those as well ---

Quick pics of the latest additons to my car. 19 piece interior led kit & ECS tuning boost gauge I got on sale for 15 bucks last weekend (85% off, couldn’t say no).

I needed to do my valve gasket so I decided to paint my valve cover while it was off. I went with some VHT Engine Enamel. 3 coats on it. Pretty pleased with how it came out. Next up, I should have an AMS chipped ecu coming off Audizine.

Thanks, I’m working on more now that I’m back working full time at my seasonal job. Right now I’ve got a short throw shifter in the mail & I’m searching all over hell & creation to find a chipped ecu. For some reason it’s like impossible for me to find a ATW code ecu that’s chipped.

With your car being a post 90’s car I believe most of the ECU’s are programed. With the immobilizers the ecu’s are interchangeable among cars. I believe APR might be. There are a ton of programs out there. GIAC, C2, APR, etc. I can send stuff out for C2 and GIAC. I have a samco diverter valve fs for your car as well. ---

I already have a AWE DV1 diverter valve but thank you for the offer. With sending stuff out, wouldn’t I be without my ecu for a while or is this local? And how much would it run me? I was looking on APR’s site & it claims I can run stage 2 with the mods I have. ---

Yeah the AMS deal didn’t happen. I’d love an apr, just don’t have the funding to have synaps or broadway auto clinic to do it for me. I’ve got a WTB chipped ECU thread on Vortex, only had 1 response so far. Just trying to save a little bit of cash but the way it’s looking I’m probably gonna just have it done b/c it’s been next to impossible to find a chipped ecu for sale on the forums for an ATW 5 speed [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/new-project-2000-audi-a4-1-8t/255668.md?page=3) [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/new-project-2000-audi-a4-1-8t/255668.md?page=5)
