6/7/05 - Installed Eibach Pro System (Springs & Shocks) and sold H&R Coilovers to David from Audiworld.com. Now, my suspension is a little more comfortable (not as harsh a ride), yet still sporty.

6/7/04 - Updated my sig pic on AudiWorld.com (similar to this one).

6/3/04 - 18x8.5 Flik Artics - Anthracite (ET 35) w/ Falken Ziex ZE-512s (235/40s) (rated #1 by Consumer Reports for UHP A/S tires). The wheels were from EdgeRacing.com & the tires were from a local store called America's Tire Co.

5/28/04 - Sold all (5) of the Speedlines w/ Pirelli tires. Tony, I know you and your wife will like them for her A6 4.2...enjoy!

5/26/04 - Bought a set of (4) Flik Arctics in Anthracite (charcoal gray) from EdgeRacing.com. They're 18x8.5, ET35 and weigh only 23 lbs. This is my last set of wheels for a looong time, I swear!

On 5/8/04, there was a Nor Cal GTG at the Berkeley Marina. Here's a link w/ a few pics (copy & paste)...

As of 4/10/04, I ordered: Hotchkis H-Sport Sway Bars (performancepartsstore.com), a Sunroof Wind Deflector (eBay) & 8300K HID Conversion Kit (H1) (eBay again).

As of 3/19/04, here's the new 18x8.5 Speedline 2211 (2-pc.) w/ 235/40 Pirelli PZero Nero M+S...

Also, the rear coilovers were lowered by 1/3". Honestly, I miss the look of the 19s, but in the long run, I know the 18s w/ 40 series tires will protect my rims more (vs. 19s w/ 35 series tires). And to the guy who bought my ADRs/S-03s, enjoy!

Finally, a pic of my personalized front license plate frame that I've had since '95...

As of 3/10/04, I'm selling my ADRs & S-03s *sniff*. I'm downgrading to 18x8.5 Speedline 2211 (so I can lower the car another 1/2" or so) & 235/40 Pirelli PZero Nero M+S Ultra-High Performance All-Season tires (so I can still head up to Reno or Lake Tahoe during light snow weather in the winter). I bought a set of (5) so in case of a flat or whatever, I have a full-size spare.

New pics w/ tinting (finally cleaned the car) and close-ups of rims (3/6/04)...

New pics w/ the Zender Spoiler installed (7/30/03)...

Previous pics before the spoiler was added...

As of 6/30/03, I just bought a '00 Audi A6 2.7T w/ 30,500 mi. (Silver w/ "Tungsten" Grey interior).

So far, here are my current upgrades:

19x8.5 ADR M-Classics (w/ 5mm or 1/10" spacers to clear front calipers, long conversion studs (originals won't fit), tuner lugs & hubcentric rings - 57.1 mm inner/66.56 mm outer) (WheelGuyz)
245/35ZR19 Bridgestone S-03s (although the pics have the old tires) (Wheel Works)
H&R Coilovers (TireRack)
Zender Spoiler (LLTEK)
Hella Smoked Tail Lights (AWE-Tuning)
Euro Type R Super White Bulbs - H1 (AZN Motorsports)
LoJack System (a mandatory upgrade, IMO)
20% Window Tint (Super Shade) (installed; no updated pic yet)

Future upgrades:

Cold Air Intake and/or Intercooler
Milltek Exhaust (Stratmosphere.com)
Engine Chip (GIAC, AMS, MTM, TAP, etc.)
Tiptronic Chip (GIAC)
(Most likely, I'll have ATP in Fremont do the install on the items listed above.)
StopTech Stage 2 Brake Upgrade (Achtuning.com)

Finally, our new digital camera came in from eBay. And I was able to take some decent pics. So, here's the car w/ everything installed EXCEPT the Zender Wing Spoiler which should come in next week. Plus, I can't wait to tint the windows. Pics were taken on 7/17/03.

Just being creative w/ our pics. Also, here's an older pic of our guard dogs who "protects" our cars...=)
