I'm sure a lot of you guys already know me or know of me. It seems the B5 section here is much more happenin than on AZ.

Anyways I'll just get right to the timeline.

Sept. 18th 09

Bought my A4 - 99.5 1.8TQM Black on Black Half-sport Winter Package

Nov. 09
Living in Wyoming for school

I also was able to drive up Pikes Peak

**NeedingAnAudi** · 02-04-2011 11:16 PM

Dec. 18th 09 Exactly 3 months after I bought my car

April 10 Finally got around to finding out what happened.

June/July 10 Started building up a new short block

Got the block in with NO ENGINE LIFT

Aug. 3rd 10 She is reborn!

**NeedingAnAudi** · 02-04-2011 11:17 PM

Sept. 17-19 10 I moved from Wyoming back to Chicago

Oct. 10 Got around to putting OEM sports in the rear, thus making my Audi a full sport again

Late Oct. 10 My machanical fan blew up and destroyed my radiator

Feb. 2nd Huge Thundersnow storm in Chicago, and ST's

And that's my life as an Audi Owner. Enjoy

hey man saw your thread first on stanceworks....i like the newer pics...man u guys in chicagoland definitely got pounded!

I love the shot of your car where it looks like it's in a sea of snow

**CoopaCoopaCoopa** · 02-05-2011 03:03 AM

Heyaaaa. Nice to see you over here, and you didn't even have to change your user name haha. You've had the craziest bad luck with your car.

(in that pm when you said getting at that flange is a tight squeeze to get out..you weren't kidding. Seems I need either smaller hands and or tools.)

Thanks man! Where I am we had 21 inches, but the part that made it bad was the 50+ mph winds blowing drifts everywhere

When I first created NeedingAnAudi I hated it. Now I really like it so I use it on all the forums I go to. And haha that thing takes some real skill with the 1/4 drive set. Or you could just pull the PCV system off and throw a catch can in there. Then the flange is super easy to get out.

**werk** · 02-05-2011 01:17 PM

sheeesh bad luck bra i no how ya feel..my sister lives in chicago and said u guys got some crazy snow weve gotten a buttload of snow in ct springs around the corner tho

**NeedingAnAudi** · 02-05-2011 11:00 PM

Yeah the snow is crazy around here. Mountains of snow in parking lots that are bigger than the stores!!

I looked through my huge amount of pics and I forgot to post my most famous picture, my DO WERK garage

**Mihai_A4-B5_** · 02-05-2011 11:53 PM

I was thinking the same thing, I have a move in my near future and this might be the way to go.

x3 , minus the moving part.

**NeedingAnAudi** · 02-06-2011 01:22 PM

Dock for a trailer. It's really not very hard or exciting, you can see the dock in the bottom of this pic.

**Frankie b5** · 02-06-2011 02:03 PM

Oh yeah, duh. Thank you sir.

**NeedingAnAudi** · 02-08-2011 02:02 PM

Ok original height sport front, non sport rear

Changed out the rear to make it an oem sport

And my new lows

Heres some more pics just because

**NeedingAnAudi** · 02-13-2011 09:17 PM

Well I co-hosted a very badass meet today, great turnout. I was the only B5 though.

Pretty sure I'm going to buy the Lorinsors I have on the car, the fitment is basically perfect.

No Spacers

**NeedingAnAudi** · 03-29-2011 12:26 AM

Second meet pics! Stretch Your Legs II

And one more. YES, we are sponsored by NOS Energy Drinks. Not bad for the second meet created by two friends

^Cameo! I'm in the red hoodie

**barch88** · 03-29-2011 12:52 AM

**gallhue** · 03-29-2011 03:55 AM

I didn't lol, I even made sure the garage had space so the vette would be protected. I have no idea why my dad decided to leave it out.

**NeedingAnAudi** · 04-04-2011 02:16 PM

Got me some real big boy wheels yesterday

18x8.5
18x9.5

**bronz** · 04-04-2011 02:54 PM

did you get these from the guy in lake in the hills?

**NeedingAnAudi** · 04-04-2011 03:50 PM

Yeap. Surprised no one else bought them, little curb rash going to have to put some money in them but they are straight

**bronz** · 04-04-2011 04:00 PM

ya ive seen them many times, hes been trying to sell them for like a year. was going to buy them but the pictures he emailed me were horrible and wheels looked like crap. they look legit in your pictures though

**NeedingAnAudi** · 04-04-2011 04:07 PM

I figured if I don't like them then all I've done is go on a cruise with my friends on a sunday. But obviously I see some potential.

**un1ko** · 04-04-2011 06:13 PM

Cool seeing you here too. I noticed you put an electric fan. I'm gonna do the same, do you have a write up or any tips you can give me?

All I did was take some of the harness and the connector from my parts car and "splice" the wires with the original electric fan wiring. Pretty ghetto but I haven't had any problems so far.

**NeedingAnAudi** · 04-27-2011 09:29 PM

Still waay to high

Lowered it a little more, think I'm done going low. I'm at 23" gtf and honestly I don't want to be scraping everything all the time. My roads are pretty good, hell even downtown Chicago I rarely scrap, but any lower and things just start "randomly" breaking. Maybe I'll go lower when I finish up the AMGs. Anyways, couple comparison pics with my buddy.

Also been thinking about getting a second car since my hoard of cars has slimmed, buick went back to my gramps, and the saturn has been giving to my sister who just started driving. I was thinking one of these would be cool:

**kdf8454** · 04-28-2011 09:56 PM

did you powdercoat the avus's white? Looks legit, I was thinking about doing the same.... hopefully it's nice and durable, feedback would be appreciated.

**NeedingAnAudi** · 04-28-2011 11:28 PM

Nope. Lots and lots of hours sanding, primering, painting, re-sanding, reprimering, repainting. I used Valspar spary paint from Lowes, great stuff. Over all I think they came out really well, looks pretty professional if I do say so myself

They are forever filthy though.

Also, they are actually cream

**NeedingAnAudi** · 05-08-2011 12:02 AM

Well, I have been busy. No details, but ther silver car is being used as a test mule right now [

**werk** · 05-08-2011 09:11 AM

yessss!

**NeedingAnAudi** · 05-19-2011 11:14 PM

20v to 12v swap anyone?

**fbm93** · 05-20-2011 12:53 AM

**Mihai_A4-B5_** · 05-20-2011 02:01 AM
