Default Just traded my car for a WS6!!!! (just got pics up)

Well I have had the car in my psig for about two years now. i never was really happy with it. Yesterday I was at the dealer picking up my car from service and one of the salesmen pulls in in a 2002 WS6. I instantly fell in love. The extras that are on this car are too many to count.

Black W/ silver Metallic racing stripes.
17X10 rims. Chrome 5 point. (not sure about the make)
275/40/17 Pirelli tires
SLP lid
BBK throttlebody
SLP tower brace
eibach springs
rear sway bar
adj. panhard
MSd plug wires
BBK shorty headers ( first thing to go )
ORY
catback (not sure)
Two tone interior Leather w/ embroiderd headrests
Boston Acoustics spaeakers all the way around
Pioneer DVD/CD w/ monitor
SUB-Thump stealth box
JL 10" subwoofer
Alpine Amp running everything
Viper 2 way alarm
A4
Subframe connectors
3.73 gears


I alos think some work has been done to the engine and rear-end. I noticed tha it was running higher rpm's at 80 than my car used to run. Its at about 2900 at 80. Is this normal for a A4 WS6. I thought all the autos were 3.23.

There are hidden Neon lights inside and Flashing Leds under the front and back outside.

The best part is that I got this car with only 16, 650 miles on it. Looks like somebody babyed it and never drove it. I am in love.

I will get some pics up later. If anybody knows who used to own this car let me know, I want to talk to the previous owner. The dealer picked it up in Orlando.

IIRC automatics came with 2.73 and 3.23.

SS/WS6/Firehawk came with 3.23.

Nice trade. I went from a non-turbo Eclipse to a 02 WS-6. Best trade I've ever made. Have fun.

Maybe it's just me, but there's just something about Formulas...I would have kept that car. I really really like those. Plus, neons =

I was going to change everything on the Formula anyways. I had no leather, no nice Ram-Air hood, no nothing. The car was basically a stripped firebird with an LS1. So I just got what I wanted now instead of having to save up the money. It's newer and it has 34,000 less miles on it. I can turn the neons off in the car and the one outside are just two strips of LED's that flash or not according to the setting they are on. So they just stay off.

It is al ittle annoying though when some of the ignorant people at work ask my why I got the same car.

I'll get some pics up this afternoon.

Haha if they have to ask they don't understand. See, I'd love to have a car like your old one. I almost snatched up an '02 Z with cloth interior and a hardtop, but it was a ripoff. I wish I could find a 6M Formula, hardtop, cloth, and put a Firehawk hood on it. That'd be it for me. Oh well, different preferences. Still a damn nice car no matter how you look at it. Wish you the best.

2900 @ 80 is probably 3.73's.
Mid Length headers are Mac Mids.


Congrats on the new car!

I figured they were 3.73

Actually I figured out they are BBK. They will probably be the one thing I change. Gonna be spending some money on another set of Kooks.

I think BBK only made shorties. Either way, get those long tubes sooner than later
