Since i got my car ive done a few thingss.


Cupholder fixed.


15% Tint.


Yellow fogs.


Also got my rear wheel bearing fixed..still need to get other side fixed.
Got a new battery too..cold weather sucks.

She still needs a good amount of work before shes real clean.

Sunroof motor is shot, side mirror glass is glazed, and i need 2 new front speakers and also speaker cover on driver side...(if your speaker goes in and out dont hit it thinking it will fix it...cars are fragile..)

Looks good so far, one small step at a time. You have any plans for visual aspects, lowering, wheels?

[MarcMiller]

Yeah going to lower it before wheels. Not sure what type of coilovers yet.
I was thinking vmaxs only because theyre pretty cheap.
As far as wheels go i want a clean audi look. Was thinking maybe s4 wheels. I ca probably get a set with tires for a decent price.

I also wanna clear my headlights out..although im not sure how hard it is..buying clear side ones might be easier.

[Frankie b5]

I'm pretty sure there's a DIY in the FAQ not positive but I know I've seen it somewhere. From what I read it's not entirely to hard to clear the head lights you just run the risk of leaving visible holes or something like that. So in my opinion it's worth a shot and if you mess it up you could just buy new ones already cleared.

[fbm93]

amber corners FTW
and id go with ST coils for affordability. $700 at ami tuning.

[MarcMiller]

I think 700$ is alot haha
I'll decide what im gonna get after i start saving some money up. I wanna fix all my problems first and make my car reliable.

[fbm93]

haha well then you will kick yourself in the ass for paying $550 for vmaxx when you could pay a little more for way better quality.

[MarcMiller]

i'll remember that. i dont know much about ST coilovers..they go low?

[vr6pwns_me]

Yep. I'm a little over 23" GTF and I have 4 threads left in front, I'll go lower once I roll my fenders, delete the mud flaps, and maybe pull/trim the fender liner more. Rear is all the way down:

i love those audi wheels on the 2nd page...what are they again??

[vr6pwns_me]

The OEM ones, not the black ones right? They're the Celebrations, 17x7.5's Nothing too special but I like em too, will sell for the right price so I can get what I want haha

[MarcMiller]

Just bought my other wheel bearing. Also found out i may need a new belt tensioner.

I still need side mirror glass, blower motor and a sunroof motor.

All those are for. B5.5 a4.
(pm me if you have then)

[LeeHech]

I agree, I love the celebrations, so simple and clean. The rockstars really only look good on lifted diesel trucks.

[MarcMiller]

I agree..i just wish they were 18s

[MarcMiller]

Bumppp...wheel bearings both fixed.
Next is tie rods..im buying the heavy duty ones off ecstuning. They have a 4 year warrenty.

Doing all these things now i wont need to fix alot when i go low...hopefully.

[werk]

well once u do go low vmaxxs are cheap and they DO have a warranty ladys but if ur on a budget its w.e powerwheelspro.com have a good selection on replica oem wheels good luck

[MarcMiller]

What kinda warrenty do they have?

[werk]

1yr lol if they last 20k miles it was worth it u no? and by that time u can buy some h&r's or some other rediculous coil that youve saved 12oo for

[aledelic42]

progress
vmaxx

[MarcMiller]

Im probably going with ST coilovers..i just wish they had a warrenty. I was always planning on the coils i get to have a lifetime warrenty..or even a few years.

[MarcMiller]

[MarcMiller]

Bumpp..i want some opinions on the taillights!

[LeeHech]

They look good to me, I did the same thing. I used vinyl.

[MarcMiller]

Yeah i got my tint shop to do it for 20$.
I think it looks banggin

[LeeHech]

I saw you were looking for coilovers before, I know that vogtland coilovers have a lifetime warranty and I think you can get them for around $1000.

[MarcMiller]

Yeah im actually probably gonna go with ST coilovers. I can get them for 700$ish and they have a 5 year warranty. Plus they ride amazing.

[werk]

like the tails theyre like mine but darkre im thinkin bout gettin the double smoked bars or teh double smoked clears idk tho

[werk]

i just love how b5 asses look this is what iw as talking about
http://www.estrictlyforeign.com/AUDI...om%2080852.htm
http://www.estrictlyforeign.com/AUDI...om%2082488.htm
i wish the smoked ones wer not 322 dollars tho

[MarcMiller]

Theyre not bad..i think the stock taillights are real clean. Im never changing them.

[vr6pwns_me]

those LED smoked tails don't look too bad actually. Wanna see them lit up though

[werk]

i agree mark i mean if i got some for real cheap id buy em but i like the stockies

[werk]
