I understand and have a couple thousand put back just in case. I have a little bit of experience in the Euro market / maintance / etc with the Volvo. I can't wait to get the A4 and start with the mods! Been reading about the chips and stuff. Hope to get it up to par with my Mustang. Right now it's around 375 RWHP with all the mods I've done to it! I simply can't wait! Anyone have any experience with these $400-600 body kits they sell on Flea-Bay? Are they junk? I am keeping the 24" rims off my explorer, selling them and going to get wheels and an effects kit and decent chip to start.

Oh, and I will definately have plenty of pics for you all .. One more question. The sunroof does not work. He is saying that the dealer he bought it from (not an Audi dealer) told him it was the motor? I read something on here about possibly the relay? Are those hard to replace if that is what it is? I like to do most stuff myself unless it's real technical stuff like taking the engine apart, etc.

Yeah sunroof is a common problem on these cars. If you search "sunroof DIY" or some such thing you should be able to find a couple fixes for it. Sometimes its just the contacts on the switch and not the motor.

Nice lookin car!

Edit: Forgot, if it turns out to be the motor and not dirty contacts, you can get a new motor from Ecstuning.com

Good luck!

Agreed on the floor mats, I will probably order a new set of carpeted ones and also some of the all-weather one's like you were saying (have some in my Volvo) to put over top of the other mats.

What's the best chip to get? I saw a few options on one of the other threads. The engine is currently bone stock at the moment, stock exhaust, stock everything. Just trying to get some opinions form you guys since you have first hand experience in this.

Thanks,

Cam

Forgive my ignorance but is this bad? Possibly the airbag has been deployed and they replaced it with a non-sport one?
