AudiMyMind`s Build Thred

[AudiUrPnts]

So i finally decided to make a build thread/time line of my car.

2004 Audi A4
FWD
1.8t
5 Speed

The day I bought it.


Engine Mods
APR R1 Diverter Valve
Homemade intake (not a cone on the MAF)
TT255 Injectors
APR Stage 1+ tune
034 Motorsports test pipe
Techtonics downpipe
BFI Polly motor mounts

Suspension/Wheels and Tires
Raceland Coils
18x8.5 ET 45 Rotiform BLQ`s
20MM FK Spacers in the rear
17MM FK Spacers in the front

Other
New South Boost gauge
Cupra R lip
7000k HID`s in the headlights
3000K HID`s in the fogs
Painted grille molding
Homemade skid plate (made from a road sign)
Royal Woodie steering wheel
Momo Hub

When I fist put on the coils
I think at this point my fender to ground was 22 and 1/4. This is when I knew i needed to make a skid plate

So after rubbing threw one skid plate in less than two weeks i decided to raise her up a little and this is how she sat until I got my wheels.


Wheels were a tough one for me. I couldn't decide on anything. First it was sawblades, then CCW`s. But after dub and rub i had my mind set on Rotiform BLQ`s. I was never so happy to see the UPS man.


And a few from the first day on the car, Without spacers.



Then after looking at other B6`s i knew i needed somthing more on the front end. So I started to look into the Cupra R lip for the R32. I read that with a little trimming they would work so I gave it a try. And this is what i got.


This is how the car sits as we speak.


Stay tuned for updates. Im always messing with the car so check back weekly for updates.

Yeah the stock wheels will be going back on in a few weeks for winter. Im gonna do somthing crazy to the BLQ`s while their off just not sure what yet. And h2o was only an hour from my house.

[AudiUrPnts]

Picked up a Momo hub from NGP this past weekend. Just got an email saying that my steering wheel shipped today. Hopefully i can get it on this weekend.

[AudithenVW]

Lucky that you live so close to h20. Wish I could have made it out but Im from chicago

Do white wheels or any other light color

[asullivan]

I vote lime green for the wheels! this was the route I was going to go with mine until I saw the r8 wheels that I am now obsessing over lol

[AudiUrPnts]

Yeah i was thinking ether white, copper, or sandblasting them and leaving them raw.

Lime green no way. This isn't fast and the furious lol

[asullivan]

Fast and the Furious!? Really? people still use that film as a reference? lol I think if the car is done right it can pull off bright colors with out bieng too ricey, for an example



more of highlighter yellow but you get the idea



I think the blq's need a bright color to show off the design of the wheel, really makes the car pop!
I think the polished look or the copper would be the way to go,the white on white imo is a older style lol


But ultimately do what YOU like, as its your car

[AudiUrPnts]

i could do the highlighter yellow

[AudiUrPnts]

looks good


Pictures of your intake?

The intake is just a piece of flex pipe attached to the MAF with a cone filter at the end. I took out the passenger side headlight to get the filter down near the lower grille vents. Like i said i now get 37-38 mpg on the highway cruising at 75 mph. Hate it or love it.




And just a pic of my car i took today at the house.

[AudiUrPnts]

Wood grain is on . I like pics will be up soon.

[AudiUrPnts]

Fixed all the pic`s

[PSU]

[AudiUrPnts]

Looking good dude.

Thank you sir

Any gains besides fuel mileage?

Any gains besides fuel mileage?

a little deeper tone when you get on it and a nice little pshhhhhhh sound when you let off in the boost

[AudiUrPnts]

A pic of my new wheel, sorry for the crappy cell phone pics. ill take some good ones later.

And today i got a little board and had an idea for a new shifter and hear it is.
Again a crappy cell phone pic. I have to fix the boot tomorrow its a little too big. Needs some trimming. But what do you think ?

[AudiUrPnts]

this morning i messed around with the new shifter a bit. i cut off about 5 inches so it sits lower and its more comfortable. I also put back on the stock shift boot. i think it looks a lot better.

[asullivan]

you should get the wood grain trim so the steering wheel doesn't look so out of place, and even though I love me some blue moon, I am not feeling the beer tap shift knob, reminds me of something you would see in a rat rod. But to each their own

im in the process of looking for the trim, and thanks for the input on the shift knob thats why i asked what you guys thought of it . i can always put back on the OEM one. I need to put up a newer pic of it now that i cut it down and put on the stock boot.

[AudiUrPnts]

So today I finaly did my valve cover gasket, and while i was at it I changed my oil too.

Took a pic of my homemade skid plate.

[AudiUrPnts]

So the season is coming to a end soon. Im doing the banned from skyline meet next weekend and toys for tots in Philly in November then its over. Winter wheels will be going on and car will be driven as little as possible. So ive been thinking about what i want to do this winter to the car hears what i have so far.

Front mount
Cat back (I have a downpipe and test pipe just need to install)
Head lights
Euro Trunk
Door blades
Re do wheels white or copper

What do you guys think ? anything i should add or take off my list ?

[AudithenVW]

[AudiUrPnts]

lmao I guess thats one way of doing it. You got some pretty ambitious goals this winter

[AudiUrPnts]

That ghetto skid plate does a hell of a job for what it is. My pan is spotless and you can see where the plate drags so it must be doing something. And yeah i hop i can do most of my winter goals.

Oh I am sure it works, isn't there supposed to be some air vents though? Not to sure how important those vents are but I have noticed that the panzer plates and the stock plates have them. Did you tint your fog light lens? I was looking at getting some yellow Lamin-X for mine, just wondering what it is you used?

[andy'sgti03]

Does anyone else have one of those quick release key chain clips because they can't stand all the keys hanging into their knee?

I used yellow stained glass paint.
