Hey everyone. I've been lurking around here, trying to soak up all the information that this place has to offer, but never posted because I didn't have my car yet. Saturday I picked up my new baby. A 1998 arctic white Z28 with an A4. My Dad bought it brand new back in the day and he sold it to me for a steal of a price after he bought his new Silverado. Looking forward to learning a lot more about these badass rides and hopefully helping some people out as well.

Welcome. At least you know where it's been! Can't beat that.
Did Dad do any mods?

No, she is bone stock. Dad is an old man and drove it like an even older woman. It was pretty much only driven to work and back. It's cool though, cause I know everything on the car is in great shape. He serviced it regularly and I don't have to worry about any surprises down the road. I already have a pretty good plan to juice her up though...

Lid is on the way.

Exhaust
Headers- kooks or hooker stainless with
true duals
or ory with elec cutout and a mild catback
not sure which route i want to go

torque converter ~3500-3800
I've heard go big so you aren't left wanting more after the install

rims and tires with a drop somewhere along the way
probably 17x9.5 and 17x11
(I like the more classic look)

of course a few visual mods here and there

down the road I am definitly interested in a heads and cam setup...just have to see what the cash flow allows

Let me know what you guys think of the plan so far...good and bad comments welcome.
