Hello Rennlisters!!! I am glad to finally join everyone on here! I have been shopping for a year and finally bit the bullet and decided I needed a turbo in the garage.

Details, 52k miles, new GT2 clutch and K16's.

Here is a picture today as it was nice enough to pull her out after a good cleaning and wax next to my TT track car. Cannot wait for spring to get out and drive this thing!



So far fixed the alarm going off randomly that was a loose speaker wire and wire up an iPod setup.

So far it has an EPL flash, however as always some more dialing in upgrades because I like to perfect things to slightly OCD levels

Its a 2000 with about 60k miles and to be honest its a bit cramped for me= I'm 6 feet 220lbs. I have had it since 24k mi and it has been a good car but I don't use it much. My 1999.5 A4 is still my favorite car as hard as that may be to believe lol.

I had the spoiler put on and suspension upgrade/recall done much later then I thought they would have allowed as my wife hinted she might drive it some. Turned out she hasn't and wish I had left it alone. My A4 has some upgrades and factory cloth sport seat form the 1997 which I love. Its about my 5th I believe B5 A4 love them.

Sport seats are a rare sight, I have only seen one set over the years.

I bought a 1997 in 1998 with 10k miles that had the cloth sport seats and fell in love= took me a couple years to find a complete black set with no damage. I'm with you on the weather= cant wait to get out and drive the Porsche a little.

Todays weather is horrible. Met up with a fellow rennlister to pick up an exhaust, was not a bad drive, but on the way back people were all over the place with this little freezing rain. Not sure why folks figure that in the north east that they do not need to bother with snow tires?!
