Always like to know what's your plans for this year?
 
One hell of a detail when the weather picks up.

Then i plan on lowering this year along with pressed plates.
 
Well I would like to put my A4 on coil overs with some deep dish alloys. Change the head lights and the rear lights any maybe get the exhaust changed to stainless :)

After I have sold my other car and private plate!
 
In the short term I'll settle for it running and being oil-tight! :laugh:

If I achieve that, I need to sort the ride height as I currently suffer altitude sickness when driving it. After that I intend to thrash it on track as much as possible. :eyebrows:
 
I have a 2.4 also I can smell oil so I will be looking into this. Seems to be a common issue my mate has a 2.8 with same issue
 
Mines a cracked sump. I think I may have a been a shade too enthusiastic putting it on the drive! :blush:

Whats the comon issue Ras, oil leak? From where? Im 2.8 also, will have a look out but sure it aint losing any.

As for plans, finally getting it in for paint job this coming week, fitting RS4 bumper, facelift S4 rear, skirts and a new lip spoiler.

Got some new rear lights sitting here that im gonna custom mod, will reveal when they're done.

Got a 2nd set of Recaros coming so i can chop the subframes about and get my new ones fitted.

More carbon fibre stuff as time goes on, small bits here and there.

Interior parts to work on, and sound system to fit.

New wheels to be refurbed and new tyres fitted for summer.

etc etc..............never ending really!
 
Wow that's a lot

Interested in the light mod not LEDs by anychance?
 
I would like to fit better skirts but the paint cost is putting me off.

Remote central locking and front fogs, grille chrome blacken, front light mods to black trim, door card leathering.. s4 replica? perhaps.

If you search for H-Sport sway bars you will find something, They make all the difference as these B5's need alot more rear bar just be ready for the oversteer!

I like to keep busy! lol

Na, defo not an led set, prefer to stay away from that. It'll be a more modern looking, cleaner take on the facelift units i had! (I hope!) Just need to see if it works out, will get onto it this week!
 
For me now i am back 4wd not 3.LOL

Map sorted, S4 skirts and trims painted, Votex front and rear fitted and bumpers painted

18s of some type, Rs4 brakes and Vented 300mm B6s on rear.

Probably it for now, all cash depending
