I'm getting almost 11k back. Unfortunately i'm just paying the remainder of my A4s loan (bought almost 4 years ago when they were still has some value to them) and paying down some of my fiancee's cc bills. In McGov's perfect world it'd go to an 034 Elim kit + surpporting mods and some new wheels.

11k! wow wish I got that much. Although 9k is pretty good still. I think I'm going to hold off on the engine for now. For now I think I'm going to get my wheels, RS4 body kit, CF hood (there's a dent in my hood) and coilovers....looking at D2 coilovers just not sure if they are good. Oh and then after installing the body kit and hood might get the car painted.

He's talking about the brake upgrade kit.
And, due to a special discount going on over at ECS you can get the slotted/cross drilled rotors (12.3") and TT hangers for just $250! The kit is advertised at $300, but if you buy separately you actually save.
I was about to purchase them, but I should buy tires for my 18" set first lol. No good having a brake kit I cant install because of the 15" wheels on currently.

I really should file my tax return. I need some extra cash!

lol i just got that too. I think I'm gonna buy the whole set. They're like $65 ea. or $160 for the set. Seems like it'd be worth the savings, and if nothing else I can just sell the extras on the cheap. I see a few of you mugs who needs a moulding or two.....

Is it bad that I'm going to go buy a house now so I can afford to fix up my car with NEXT YEARS taxes!!

BTW, test drove an '06 2.0TM front trak last night. What a difference! I knew it wasn't quattro before I got there, but I wanted to drive it anyway. The salesman was busy so he tossed me the key and said be back in 10-15 minutes! At one intersection, I lost traction and the car felt horrible! Other than that, GOD I LOVED THAT CAR!

I got back and told him, find me a 2.0TQM with cold weather and lighting package, and we'll have a deal...
