Very cool. I hope to do a BBK next time I need brakes. Going to be keeping the GTI until it is un-repairable, so when it is time to replace things, I will be going big.

Well you could have witnessed it first hand had you texted me back fuck face. Now they will be excellent and you will fear the wrath that is superior driving in a lighter car. PS, Weighed my car at Cosi, 3000lbs exactly. It got my weight and my wifes weight perfectly, so it is accurate. FAG

Let me know when you buy it. I wouldn't mind seeing what they can do on some back roads. Besides, I need to test out my new brakes anyway.

Refresh my memory, what is done to this car?

Look like turbo twists, and NO. Buy the car first, then you can fuck it up.

Yep. I like them a lot. The pedal feel is nice and firm, and the stopping distance is definetly improved. This setup should have been installed from the factory. Great feel, good performance and no added noise or vibrations etc. I am going to re-bleed the brakes this weekend and then really give them some hard use. I haven't done much aggressive driving with them.

Too bad, I could use some more cash! FAG

I would bet money on a stg 2 1.8T owning a VR6. Almost every single car produced is TUNED for understeer. Audi's do this more than others because they usually have the engine in front of the front axle, which is not ideal. HOWEVER, Audi has done wonders making their cars handle well, even stock. And comparing an AWD sports coupe to a true sports car (350Z) isn't exactly fair. The 225 weighs 3200lbs, with AWD. Add an aftermarket suspension to the TT, and they handle VERY well, rotating the rear easily. I don't think the S-line came out on the Entire Audi line until 04. The A4 had the ultrasport, the A6 S-line and TT 3.2. DSG is great, but 99% of the time its like driving a regular auto. Great when driving it hard, and great when tired, but boring as hell 99% of the time. Its actually exactly the opposite of what you said. DSG is great in the twisties, but boring everywhere else. Not sure on the early DSG issues. Pretty sure the programming is different, but the actual trans is the same one used until the new wet clutch designs in the 2010 S4's.

3.2=VR6 I think you meant the 3.0 V6. IMO 2.0T is the best all around VAG engine.

Well lets look at it like this: Since the end of 2005, almost 5 years and 100k miles, I have been into the Audi/VW dealers about 10 times for unscheduled repairs. Thats averaging 2 times per year. I have spent $0 on any of it because they have good warranties from the factory, and excellent CPO warranties. If my choices are to drive a Honda Accord and never go to the dealer for repairs, or drive my VW GTI and go in an avg of twice per year, I will pick the VW every single time. No questions asked. In doing so I will either get a shuttle to and from work/home, or a loaner (usually VW Jetta or Passat) if available. Keep in mind, my GTI has been 100% problem free for 13 months and 24k miles. My Rabbit never went in, my A4 went in once for 1/2 a day for a simple fix, my wifes Rabbit hasn't went in for 2 years and 28k miles. My 06 GTI was the only car I have had that I would consider anything from STELLAR reliability.

The 3.2's are DSG only. Both the 225 and 3.2 run low 14s stock. Get the 225 6 speed. Do the basic bolt ons/chip and enjoy a low 13 second car like Jones said. I would rather have a B7 A4, but they are probably more expensive.

Wasting your breath. The German car stereotype lives as strong now as it did 15 years ago. My A4 went into the shop 1 time for 1/2 a day. My Rabbit never went into the shop My current GTI has never went into the shop. My 06 GTI was a bit problematic. About 5-7 dealer trips in 2 years. 100k combined miles. $0 spent.

Lincoln LS's are small on the inside.

Nice car, but the exhaust is not good. Needs a single tip, stuffing duals in there looks like generic mufflers. Needs debadged. I HATE cars that have the companies sybol, and the name spelled out in letters. Subaru Subaru Legacy.

Seems like your daughter is in better spirits than you. Let her up beat attitude ease some of your tension. I can't imagine the feeling. I hope everything goes well for her, you and your family. I have actually thought about how strict I will be with my 2 dogs when we have kids. This is a horrible reminder of what risks we take with animals, even model pets. Good luck, glad she is ok.

You working today?

I never got a hug

I'll see if the wife wants to go. Its fucking hot though.

Yes. That car is obviously cared for and was washed and waxed recently. A good detail to SOME of these cars would yield the same quality minus the mods. http://www.autotrader.com/fyc/vdp.jsp?ct=p&car_id=282506614&dealer_id=65450385&car_year=1997&rdm=1279938923646&lastStartYear=1981&model=3_SERIESCLASS_SERIES&num_records=25&systime=&make2=&highlightFirstMakeModel=&start_year=1981&keywordsfyc=&keywordsrep=&engine=&certified=&body_code=1&fuel=&awsp=false&search_type=both&distance=0&marketZipError=false&search_lang=en&sownerid=65284835&showZipError=y&make=BMW&keywords_display=&color=&page_location=findacar%3A%3Aispsearchform&min_price=&body_style=CONVERT&drive=&default_sort=priceDESC&seller_type=b&max_mileage=&style_flag=2&sort_type=priceDESC&address=43017&advanced=&end_year=2011&doors=&transmission=&max_price=7000&cardist=802&standard=false

He is most likely talking about the standard E36 Convertible which can be had for 6k.

Agreed. If so, Sign me up for 1.

FAG Agreed on all counts! Especially the warped heads! You are much better at explaining your thoughts than I am and you have the experience I lack. Thanks for contributing. I hate you!!! VAG COM my car bitch!!!! I have stepped off the soapbox. Thanks for your time. CHANGE! I posted up an article I thought was interesting, nothing more. I was hoping it would spark a conversation, and it did.

Dude, you got bigger rotors, and pads. lol I hope your stock rubber lines blow out

I hope your rotors warp from heat:asshole:
