Alex, you blew it.

Although I love that picture, that isn't the one I was thinking of.

The one I'm thinking of is a bit further back and car is off to the left a bit, the angle is probably about eye level, as in you just stood back and took the pic.

FIND IT.

very nice on the bag setup. i was going to go that route until i found out that the rear setup was going to be ridiculously expensive and nobody was selling used at the time.

as for the smoke, i'd do the vacuum leak test with the tennis ball and compressor. if you don't have any leaks, i'd check the turbo for shaft play.

this is what my car should look like after i start making some $$$. those are 19s for anybody who's wondering but i may go for 20s, idk yet. still in the pondering stage

So. *******. Clean.

Debadge your **** already Yu, you'll be that much closer to baller status.

By the way my Dad is definitely buying a '10/'11 A4. I told him about riding in yours which just pushed him over the edge! Should be sitting in the driveway by Spring.

Nick, I'll look for that picture soon.. not sure which you're talking about, I just got a mac mini and I have none of my pictures on it at the moment

hiwords, do you mean the rear setup for a b5 or b8? the same universal bagged airlift rears that I got for $500 new from someone are $550-650 + shipping from online air stores. I wish I could afford a b8! you should bag that.... I've tried looking for air leaks with that method (used a pool jet stopper instead of a tennis ball) and couldn't really find anything... I may have to send the car to a shop again because I start school monday and won't have the car with me for the week and don't really have time

that's cuz you can't raise it while you sit in the car. if you were on bags i'm sure he would just start driving your car all over the place lol.
