Outside of a BBK upgrade, she is finally done. Please no one hold me to that statement if a big turbo or an intercooler comes out! Anyhow, I wanted to share this one with all my peeps from Audiworld. Remember, "We are not strangers, merely friends whom have not yet met". Whatver the hell that nonsense means.

...I got all Abt on my B7. I regretted it. Anyway, nice build-up but the kit doesn't seem to flow with the lines of the A3. The Rieger would've been a better choice w/19-inch gold staggered LMs. I should've gone that route too instead of doing it all one-brand. I'm a suckah.

I'll put pix up tomorrow for the dude that told me to take my badges off. I fired up the chainsaw and hacked them out, took half the rear end with it, and sent my neighbor Eddie to the hospital with 3rd degree burns to his chest plate, but at least my car will make that one fella real happy now. As far as whoever said swap out the ABT kit for a Reiger Kit. Have you seen the ass end of that kit? What about the solid unshapely block side skirts? Hit up their website then holla back, I think you'll vomit on the keyboard kinda like how I did when I saw that dung heap. PPI pulled it off because of their paint job, and rims. It wouldn't look right on my rig. To each his own, it's all love and goodness.

Im with you on the BBS RS-GT's, but they were about $900- more than the Rial's. So I made a compromise. The design is very similar, with a difference of only one spoke. They do ride great though. I am still fine tuning the suspension, but the actual ride feels surprisingly similar to stock. Front wheel drive chirp is almost eliminated now thanks in part to these gummy Goodyears. The prob may be the compound used in an all-season Pirelli. What do you think?
