Default New from Central Florida

Howdy folks. To make a long story short I just purchased a 2000 RR A4 Z28 to replace my daily driver Hyundai Elantra GT that was rear ended by a drunk driver on Easter Sunday. I had a 95 3.4 that was slow as hell but handled great with KYB's, Eibach prokit springs and Lakewood LCA's and panhard bar. It died not so gracefully with 210K miles of bitter Chicago winters and sweltering summers.

I love the new car. It's perfect (to me). It's a T-Top car with 62K lightly driven miles (as far as I can tell). The seller originally had the stock 16" split 10 spoke wheels on it, but he had a spare set of 17" ZR1 wheels with 275/40r17 BFG GForce Sport tires and gave me a great deal.

Since I don't have access to a welder, I just ordered the UMI 3pt bolt-in SFC's. It's my daily driver now so I'm going to stick mostly to bolt-on parts that I can do by myself on the weekends.

Without further ado

Agreed. The wheel wells need some filling up. Once the summer turns to fall I'm going to be looking at shock & spring recommendations from Strano. Summer in FL is no time to be under the car.

She certainly is a she. I've named her Maureen as I'm Irish and she's a redhead. Although much before my time, Maureen O'Hara was always one of my favorites.
