Default First mods: Rota, turboxs, Spacer + extras

***installed Bilstein coilovers today, checkout the results.

Hey everyone my name is Ryan, I have always been a big car guy but have just recently purchased an 04 Z and am loving it. I was looking to buy one when I first joined this website back in 2007 but decided to go with an Audi tt.

I Just wanted to introduce myself and show my progress in making the car mine.

Saturday I installed:
Turboxs exhaust
Rota Torque wheels (FX452's 265/35 and 285/35)
powerlab spacer





285/35

Turboxs (sounds amazing)

Its on! (huge pain to get the stock exhaust off)



In box waiting to be installed:
resonated test pipes

also added some extra pics of my cars I have owned in the past.

First car audi a4

Next: RSX-S


1967 Camaro SS clone (Purchased at an auction to clean up and sell for some extra $)



Then Audi TT (added APR chip, was boosting to 22psi)


installed boost gauge inside air vent, still allowed air to blow around it.


Now that I have the Z I hope to be more active in the community. Anyone from Michigan know of a good place to get fenders rolled?

Guy Fieri from the food network has got a very nice Camaro.

Can't explain why, but I've always been a fan of the TTs.

Thanks yea the Camaro was hard to let go but was a pain to drive as it was hard to get used to the drum brakes and no power steering.

The TT is in a class of its own, I would recommend it to anyone.

Here is a couple extra pics of the SS:

Installed Bilstein PSS coilovers today and wanted to share some after pics of the drop. For anyone looking to go lower and still have a nice ride I would def. recommend these.

Thanks Z1 for the pointers on the install today!

Let me know if anyone else is having a problem seeing the after pic and I can try and post up a couple others.

For now im satisfied with the Rotas, they get the job done and look good doing it. I do get sick of things quickly though and will prolly be looking for some used works wheels in the future.

It's an SS "clone"

Some of the more desireable Camaro models like the SS or RS can be "cloned" by taking a standard model and adding the components creating a "clone" it looks like it but isn't the real deal.
