Looks really clean!! Me like!

Re: My review, after a week of ownership
 

Needs a set of wheels and a slight drop badly. Looks real nice though. Any interior pics?

Re: My review, after a week of ownership
 

Nice car Swanny. Is the engine/turbo setup similar to a B5 S4?

Re: My review, after a week of ownership
 

You were up by my parents house taking pics?

People must of thought you were weird.

Nice looking car.

Re: My review, after a week of ownership
 

It's not exactly a race car, but the inside is so nice it's ok if it takes a little longer to get places. :D

Re: My review, after a week of ownership
 

Kind of. Just north of Aldi/Cub/Welle on the East side of 65.

Re: My review, after a week of ownership
 

Yea same engine as the B5 S4, the bigger A6 body helps keep the turbos a lot cooler.

Re: My review, after a week of ownership
 

Yeah it is comfy :).


Thanks, as peter stated, same deal, or pretty darn close.

Re: My review, after a week of ownership
 

***** i know this my hood.

Also thanks for the call ass. :guns:

Re: My review, after a week of ownership
 

I figured you were at work or school or something, it was a random Tuesday if I recall correctly.

Dude I live like a mile from you. Call me when something is going on. I am a good 8 blocks from Brandon (at most).

Re: My review, after a week of ownership
 

***** i don't do shit. Actually swing by now, i'm gonna put up a shelf in the garage then work on the car a bit, this weekend it goes back together.

Re: My review, after a week of ownership
 

:riped: You should CALL ME.

This weekend I am kinda booked up. I might beable to swing over, I will let you know.

Re: My review, after a week of ownership
 

lol. So back on topic. When will this car see some mods?

Re: My review, after a week of ownership
 

Nevar!

I've done a few little things thus far, but nothing I would consider a real "mod".

I had John make me a catch can that was tucked nicely into the cowl. I went thru and replaced 1/2 my vacuum lines with silicone (will do the other 1/2 maybe this weekend if I feel so inclined, otherwise my next day off), reprogrammed the TCM for a sport shift setup.

Other than that I've done some maintenance.
-0w40 synthetic oil change
-new valve cover gaskets
-r&r bank 1 secondary air pump to clean it (did that with the vac line "mods")
-fixed a fog light bulb that was burned out
-wiper blades
really basic stuff, not to bad to do.

I have a cat converter that is on the way out, might need to rectify that one soon...other than that no real plans for it. Maybe do a fluid flush on the trans as it is "lifetime fluid" but audi usually considers lifetime fluids to be around 100k. When the turbo's die, I'll upgrade.

If I spend any real money into modding it it will be suspension and brakes.

Re: My review, after a week of ownership
 

Awesome to see you back I'm to the boats sir! I had no idea you would being heading that way with things.


No crap!

I wish I would have known! I have been looking very seriously at a 2000 M5 the last two days. I might not be ready for the plunge just yet though.

Re: My review, after a week of ownership
 

American car... wtf man? LOL!

Good seeing you tonight. :D

Re: My review, after a week of ownership
 

Do it! You know, as long as it's low mileage. Those engines aren't the most reliable on the planet.

Re: My review, after a week of ownership
 

Look for an 01 and up M5, there were some revisions to the motor. M5 was on my list, awesome cars!

Re: My review, after a week of ownership
 

I went back and looked, I don't know WTF I was thinking.

I think my brain was thinking "Driving, you are doing it wrong" But my fingers went somewhere else.

Nice seeing ya last night man.

Re: My review, after a week of ownership
 

You know me and boats. I love them as daily drivers. Plus this thing has so many damn airbags, I figure that idiot that will plow into me wont actually kill me.

Versus the Nissan, where I'd be soup.

This is an awesome daily driver that requires a mechanics touch at times. They are pretty modable but there is a definite line of the proven path and insanity...one I plan on not crossing.

I love the M5's. I was looking at a higher mileage M3 at Sears Imports and this Audi, just didn't want the extra $$ into a daily driver. It is really hard to try to justify a rwd sports car as a commuter car in Minnesota.
