Default New to the forum, just picked up a 99.5 1.8TQM

Just picked up my 99 a4 1.8t Quattro 5spg last week. I love it, but its just sooooooooo slow (getting a apr chip), it is my daily so I don't mind. I picked it up with 100k miles.. I plan on replacing the timing belt/tensioner/waterpump this weekend as it is probably overdue. Seems like people don't like the stock stereo, but I think the bose sounds awesome, better than either of my BMWs. Just wanted to introduce myself to the forum. Here are pics. My other car is a e39 528i and E36 325is with obd1 3.2 with some goodies

Bought the car in Raleigh, NC. I live in Raleigh/Charlotte NC. I bought this car to commute between the two and daily drive.

Very nice. That has got to be my favorite color for the A4's.

Most people love the stock stereo. Some people (like me for instance) are just plain nuts and want a little more. Others like a little more thump and throw in a sub and are more than happy with it.

Welcome to the forums!

My A4 has more bass than my roomates BMW m3 with factory sub! Bose appears to have baffled the hell out of those speakers.

Yes I have a 3.2 m3 engine that i converted to OBD1. Running GC coilovers with 600/550 spring rates. Sorry guys, but the a4 seems to be very front heavy.

Did I get a good price on the car? From what I can tell I think I did pretty well.
