Alright my girlfriend has caught the bug and wanted a manual car. It started out as a new passat but then I told her if she gets manual it has to be turbo and then the awd naturally came in to play. So we were looking at S4's but for her the A4 is perfect. She has about 14K she wants to spend.

I've already got a list of mild mods that I want to do, 2.5 inch homemade catback, neuspeed springs, forge diverter valve, k&n filter, boost gauge, debadge, tint, black grille. I can't wait.....

These are fun to drive and stock and even mildy modified they don't really throw you in your seat like im used to but they are smooth and still lots of fun plus she thinks they're pretty.

That being said on lets say a 01 A4 1.8t quattro what do I need to look for/replace right off the bat?

Thanks guys.
