This is the second time I have owned this car. I originally sold this car to my stepbrother about 2 1/2 years ago for $5000… I get a call from him about 2 weeks ago saying that he blew the motor in the Audi. I asked what happened and he said he had no clue he took it to a shop and they said it has no compression. So I bought the car back for a $1000. Pulled the motor apart and found it jumped timing and the head was fucked… Went down to PA to pick up a new motor. So my roommate and I did the motor swap in about 2 days and got it up and running again. 1998 Audi A4 1.8t Black tan interior 5speed AWD 161kmi on the body 40kmi on the motor lowered 2.5 inches in the front-2 inches in the rear 17x7 S4 wheels Samco DV APR 3 inch CAI Tint and Audio done by Mike @ Precision Mobile Audio on RT.9 in CP 5% tint Eclipse Head unit All speakers upgraded to MB Quarts Rockford Fosgate Amp ![http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d32/tank099/audi001.jpg](http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d32/tank099/audi001.jpg) ![http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d32/tank099/audi002.jpg](http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d32/tank099/audi002.jpg) ![http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d32/tank099/audi004.jpg](http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d32/tank099/audi004.jpg) ![http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d32/tank099/audi003.jpg](http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d32/tank099/audi003.jpg) ![http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d32/tank099/audi005.jpg](http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d32/tank099/audi005.jpg) ![http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d32/tank099/audi007.jpg](http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d32/tank099/audi007.jpg) plans for this is by the end of the year: GT2860r FMIC RS4 front bumper ECU Flashed Dyno Tune 3 inch turbo back exhaust Its just gonna be a daily driver for me nothing special.

Not a fan of the black corners. Clear I think would look much better. Other than that, should be a blasty blast if you do all that for the year. Seth from Moon is at EPL now, when you’re ready ask him about tuning? ---

not a huge fan of the whole “blackout” look, i think with OEM tails, clear corners and silver or gold/bronze wheels it would look a lot better. thats just personal preference though. nice car! [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/rankins-1-8t-dd-build/243192.md?page=2)
