Hey there! My name is Phil and I'm from Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. This is my first thread on my A4. Although I am not new, I decided it was time to post an intro thread.

I call her Tecktonic! 99.5 A4 1.8T Quattro with S-line trim (cloth grey interior and no wood trim!!) and winter package (heated seats and mirrors), 5 spd.

It's basically stock aside from a few minor upgrades/modifications:
-BlinkTek heatsheild (looks great, perfect fitment, very satisfied with the purchase)
-Cone filter replacement over the stock intake filter
- 17 x 7 Enkei "Fittipaldi" wheels w/ Nankang NS-II 215/45/17 all around (great budget tire with very good tread wear and dry/wet traction, however they are a bit loud on at higher speeds...just turn up the music!)
-De-bagged the rear A4 and 1.8T for a cleaner look
-Blacked out the chrome around the front grill to give it a cleaner look and removed the front "Quattro" emblem on the grill
-M3 lip spoiler
-Dual chrome exhaust tips - I will fabricate myself an exhaust hopefully over winter, 3" downpipe to 2 1/2 inch catback with Magnaflow muffler, keeping the twin chrome tips
-10" Infinity sub (1060W) with 1000W Sony Xplode amp wired to the factory speaker harness to keep the stock deck - cleaner look and I can still use the 6-disc changer
-6000K 35W HID kit is ordered and on its way

Plans for the future after I'm done school:
-Suspension, arms, polyurethane bushing kit - engine and tranny mounts as well
-New wheels, or spacers all around at least
-Some nice slotted rotors with good pads
-stiffer clutch and short throw shifter
-BOV/Re-circ valve w/ upgraded diverter valve
-Chipped ECU
-Re-paint to get rid of rust/refresh the car
-New front and rear bumpers ("Euro style") and mild side skirts
-small/medium intercooler with hardpiping

This is just my daily driver, so I want to keep it mildly modded and to just have a clean look...my aim for this car is not to be a tarmac eater, but a fun and reliable, and good looking car!

Now for the pics!

 

Looking very nice!

 

Great set of pics.. Very stealthy.. clean..

 

Very nice.

But needs a drop...badly.

 

Thanks everyone! I agree very much...it needs a drop! I won't be doing anything until the spring at least because the front bumper would work as a plow during the winter here in Canada lol

I saw the Group Buy for FCP Groton Control Arm Kits and I couldn't resist...well it's an early Christmas present from my dad!

I ordered kit option #3:
13 Piece Control Arm Kit Contains:
4 Lower Control Arms
4 Upper S4 Upgrade Control Arms
2 Complete Tie Rod Assemblies (Updated Full Metal Version)
2 Updated Sway Bar Links
Hardware Kit

I'm so pumped!!! Can't wait to get these on, the car has been clunking for a little while now but with about 218,000KM on it, I'd say its been doing pretty well :P

 

Update: Got some goodies in today!

6000K HID kit:





Also, my control arm kit came in too! I ordered this kit Friday, Nov 29 and its already here!!! I can't believe they can sell such good products for such a low price, big shout out to the FCP Groton team!

 

Nice car! It has different natures.. Thumbs up.. Anyway, I want to greet my families and friends in Ontario, Canada. And to all of the members that live in Canada, hello to all.

 

that's a sweet looking car and looks in mint shape! love the back end of it with that lip and the rims are a nice touch!

 

Thanks guys! It definitely needs some work here and there, Canadian winters aren't very nice to European cars lol I also just passed 224 xxx km so wear and tear shows but I do what I can to keep it looking good!

The control arms and brakes took me a while since everything was either seized, rusted, or both! However, after alot of pb blaster, heat, hammers, swearing, and persuasion I got the work done. It drives like a new car, I'm very pleased with the control arm kit and the brakes bite very nice. I also got around to replacing the liscence plate light assblies since one stopped working due to the rusted out terminals and just overall old looking. I ordered some LED replacement bulbs off eBay and they look great and compliment the HIDs very well. I will get some pics up eventually. I mist of lucked out because I don't have any bulb lights or error codes!

 

Nice look Birdman. Where did you get the suspension components. I'm going to be in the market in the spring.
let me know please.
