How about the !caps mod. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="gr_images/icons/tongue.gif" />

Do you have an M6 or an A4?

Go with some suspension mods, here's a few suggestions. SLP or www.spectaclesolutions.com bolt-on SFC, BMR - LCA, panhard rod ( adjustable if you plan on lowering your car ), relocation brackets, Bilstein shocks, SLP driveshaft loop.

If you have a 2000 or new I'd go with the SLP y-pipe, the reason I say 2000 or newer is because if it's a 99 you need to cut and weld on one side of the y-pipe ( I don't like that idea myself ).

Not sure what your budget is but, gears and converter
(if an A4) will give up a huge bang for the buck.

A lid would be nice for starters <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />
Also sub frams like everyone else said, ported throttle body, !cats, and headers with a cut out. <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />

You guys are overlooking the obvious. Nitrous! <img border="0" alt="[evil]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_devil.gif" /> For about $400 you can get a good used wet kit. Spray your way to 11's. <img border="0" alt="[gruffy cottonball]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_gruffy.gif" />

depends on your goals i guess. are you looking for better performance for daily driving or good times at the track? And yeah, we need to know if A4 or M6 <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" /> Also what is your budget? First things first, if you don't have tires, extra mods are not going to make much of a difference on the track if you are spinning your *** off the line. Some exhaust work would be nice to start off with, and maybe a ported TB. But if you have an A4 and just want to 60' better and get some good times then I would suggest a tq converter. Also some weight reduction too, that is FREE or at least cheap mostly. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

But you should definitely do sub frames first, they make a huge difference. I did sub frames and LCA's at the same time and my car handles MUCH better, it takes bumps better and feels a lot more responsive and sturdy.
