So, after a long time with no car I've finally bought a car.
I bought is with 77K, full service history (with MOTs), 1 full years MOT. No tax
****** UPDATED WITH PLANS ******
So, my short term plans are:
- Fix indicator (replacement ordered)
- Fix ABS issue (awaiting garage time)
- Fix Rear screen washer pipe leak in passenger footwell
- Solid shifter/Nylon bushes to remove gear stick play
- Change HT Leads and Plugs
- Replace air box with large K&N filter for noise.
- Replace Cabin Filter
- Replace Fuel Filter
- Replace Oil Filter
- Drain and Replace oil (also been told to drop the sump and check the pickup for blockages)
- Check/Replace coolant
- Spray grill and front emblem matte back
- Debadge rear (Matte Black Audi emblem)
- Pressed Plates
- Light smoke rear lights
- Replace Head Unit
- Fix passenger door speaker (May replace both fronts)
- Give it a bloody good clean!!!
Long term plans, these are more ideas I would like to achieve but not set on:
- 18" Alloys
- Either S shocks and lowering springs or coil overs to suit wheels
- Black angel eye/Depo-Style headlights
- Rear bumper respray
- Fully under seal
- Rear 5 Windows tint, dark smoke (Factory look)
- Fading dark smoke sun strip
- Recaro/RS4 front semi-bucket seats
- Update centre console with digital (needs lots of research!)
- Exhaust, Turbo back 2.25/2.5" straight pipe with back box for noise!
- FMIC, completely unsure on these, seen kits and they look mean!
- Cool running thermostat (on if FMIC fitted, to keep rad temps lower)
- Remap after breathing mods
- 2x 15" Subs, unsure which yet. In a ported box. This will be kinda budget but ill be focusing on the box itself more than the hardware.
** Will update as/when progress is made **
