Audi A4 "The Soccer Mom"
Type: Automobiles
Model: Audi A4
Real Name: Felix
Location: Somewhere near Detroit, MI US.
Gender: Not sure.
Age: 32.54 years
Being a wagon, or Avant in Audi-speak, some of my friends started calling my car "The Soccer Mom." One even went so far as to get me a soccer ball magnet for it.
Regardless of it's name, I liked how unusual and uncommon this vehicle is. After having a mk4 Jetta, it's nice to drive a car I don't see coming and going all the time.
Despite my intention to keep the car stock, it was chipped in the first 5,000 miles I had it. As of now, it's running the APR Stage I+ kit and APR exhaust. I was planning to do coilovers, however, relocating to Michigan has made me rethink that idea -- the roads are just too shitty to want to be lower.

Looks pretty sweet. I drive an A4 2.0T sedan. Really like it and will prolly get the avant next.
Just bought an 03 Audi Avant a4 1.8t Quattro, manual 5 speed.
need chip info. Don't need a rocket, but 170 hp is kinda weak. Advise??
hit me @ tdionne@medvisionusa.com

Nice Ride , always liked Audis
twopointoh used to own:
2001 Jetta 1.8T Wolfsburg Edition. The 16" BBS wheels and stock suspension were quickly discarded in favor of 17" Audi TT "Fat Fives" and Eibach/Koni suspension. Stock exhaust was ditched to install a 2.5" Techtonics Tuning cat-back system. Audi TT short shift kit. InPro chrome mirror covers. JoeyMod'd stock headlights.
I purchased this 1980 Jetta Coupe with the intent of bring it back to life. I got as far as stripping it to a shell, to discover that it had some pretty nasty rust and a questionable repair to the front end. I finally gave up on it when it got evicted from my friend's garage.

I purchased this gem to run in the 2008 BABE Rally. It's a frankencar, with an Audi 3A engine, mk3 golf/jetta transmission, and miles of wiring to bypass the bad wiring harness.
After several weeks of work, we got it sorted out and ready for the trip. Surprisingly, it ran the rally easily and was actually fun to drive.
