The guy that brought this thread back from the dead bought the car that the original thread starter was thinking about buying.
Cincy, if youre not into modding, a 00/01 B5 is not bad. Its got the face lift, no ICM, more reliable coil packs, updated timing belt tensioner,more convenience features, etc. But if you bought to mod, I totoally agree. I wish I had known these thing before I bought my ATW.

CincyTT, You didn't read the last post... I already bought the 2K, and i actually like it.
What's this about big port heads? Was that what made the difference between the 00 and 01 HP rating? Did they start usinga different turbo after 00? My car has pretty good power for being unworthy of ownership.

I'm not the original poster. He probably did buy the 02. I was looking through old posts for some information and came across his post and noticed I bought the 00 that he was looking at so I assume he bought the other one. A couple of the guys noticed that the original post is a year old which is why I thought it was interesting.
I still say that my car feels pretty good. I don't plan to go to crazy with mods but from everything I have read, there is about an 8hp differance between the 00 and 01 after it's been chipped. I can live with that. Would it have made a differance if I had known about the HP bump for the 01 before I got the car? Maybe. Oh well, the car's still fun to drive.
