Is it an A4? If so, get a converter. Also high on the list tires and suspension mods. Get the most out of what you have.

if you onl yhave 1k, just do some bolt ons and appearance mods. make the car look like what you want it too. grab some pacesetters to an offroad Y and get someone to do the exhaust for you.. going to need O2 symulators as well. get a Lid, and then with left over money, which wont be much, maybe wires or something.
