Do you have foglights? It looks like you have covers but no actual foglights. And if you need a spare rear taillight I have them.

tarch said:mm it's aight
it's got the ultra slow package
i mean it's slow
but other than that it's plush
no navi
6 disk indash bose
xenon
ultra sport package
heated seats all around
um what else... i think that about covers most of it... the cars come loaded standard
Oh trust me I know about the slow package. And modding it seems to be even more expensive than a cobra. I didn't get as many options on mine. But I may upgrade to some of the options.

Ahhhhh great, looks as though we have another 1.8t nutswinger on our hands. The 1.8t can NEVER loose.....just like the civic.
tarch said:just so you know... the one neon with 500 hp out of the stock engine blew up awhile ago
That's great, but I have a friend in Houston and one in L.A making that sort of power out of their motor and drive them daily.

Hey now I have an audi as well. And I know it's slow. I didn't buy it for it's speed.
yup 18t nutswinger lolJohnnb said:
i bet it'll be pretty close to a mustang with the stock engine and turbo even...
let's not even talk about my plans with that little jetta lol
there is a reason i did not pick a VR6 for my jetta. Hell that would've been cheaper even... lol... but i just think boost is a pretty good alternative and it's pretty fun...
you should go for a ride in my friends' stock s4... all he's got is a chip and that thing flies

Sorry but there is no way that a stock 1.8t Audi A4 is going to be running low 14 sec quarters stock, maybe with a hell of a lot of mods but not stock.
I have been for rides in stock S4's as well as 500+hp S4's as I just came from the world of VW performance and racing and have helped build many, many VW race cars from 12 and 24 valve VR6, to 1.8t's, 16 valves to turbo 8 valves, and even worked on a 5 valve Audi motor for a little bit.
Turbo VW cars are a very expensive way to go if you want anything other then a 13 sec car as that's the reason I sold my VW related cars and went with something with a lot more potential and something a lot more cost efficient.
Awwwwww o.k ya a stock 1.8t A2 Jetta will give you mid 14 second passes.
Personally I am not a big fan at all of the 1.8t as the VR I feel is a much better motor and personally if I was into a swap like this I would consider doing a turbo VR as you can have a 12 second car with a bone stock motor, turbo, and Quaife and proper tuning for a lot less then the 1.8t.

Depends on how much you get the engine for. And what is involved in swapping it out. From what I have seen a swap out is more expensive than a larger turbo.
True, it does depend on how much you get the parts for, but for the most part a VR motor/trans/ecu/subframes are going to cost you a hell of a lot less. Be much less labor intensive, and much easier to swap, especially if your 1.8t is a drive by wire motor.
You can easily get a turbo kit for them for the $2,500 area, just make sure you swap the open diff for the LSD of the fun will be very short lived.

Actually the 1.8t's now are getting just as common as the VR's as I can think of 4 or 5 of them here in the Pac NW alone.
Here shortly they will be just as common as the VR's and as soon as more cars with these motors get totaled out you will see them just as much.
As long as you like it, then that's all that matters, but if you wanted unique you should put a built 24valve or R32 motor under your hood.
