Kolton's Audi A3!

**Kolton Lock** · 03-17-2013

Well guys I replaced the 98 Grand prix with a 2006 Audi A3 2.0t!
For a little background on the car... It was leased to 36k miles and from that point on the car was owned by an older man. And in the owners manual was receipts for EVERY bit of maintenance done all the way up to when I bought it at 140k miles!

The car is pretty well flawless, turbo still kicks 7psi.... I'm thinking I should tune to 10

and the outside only has one significant scratch on the runner. But even then it's not to noticeable!

Here is a couple pics until I get it clean (aka snow stops) and then get my good camera back from my cousin

I like the A3's; Nice pick up man!

**RareGMFan** · 03-17-2013

You'll have to let us know how that car does for you. I've been tempted to replace the GTP with an A4, possibly an A6 for the next car. I'm just leery of their electrical issues and costs of repair.

Nice buy man! Is it fwd or awd?

**SDGTP99** · 03-17-2013

Love all the newer Audi's, issues aside. Sadly I hardly ever see A3's around here. Deff keep us updated on it.

So far it's pretty well fine!
Has a lil quirks, like the DSG is slow to downshift in traffic, researched and found its normal lol

I know. I've had a few people already ask, "what model is that? It's sweet."

And here is the plan for now

Debadge it all besides the Audi rings.
Dip the front grill(maybe the wheels.)
Gold painted calipers.
Make my own intake.
Tinted windows.
Then drop it about 2 inches on springs.

**SDGTP99** · 03-17-2013

What about gold wheels? Yeah, do that. Go for the gold.

**Kolton Lock** · 03-17-2013

Gold wheels could be sweet.

Just curious.
Are wheel weights necessary? Because some are missing in the wheels lol

**MoarkatsINmuhtrailer** · 03-17-2013

Be careful if that starts losing oil.

I like the car but I can't stand the 2 liters.

**SDGTP99** · 03-17-2013

Wheels weights are necessary for cheap poorly made wheels????

But yeah, gold rims and slammed. More boost couldn't hurt. Maybe an RS front bumper. If an RS3 exists. I have no idea there are Soo many cars to keep up with these days.

**Kolton Lock** · 03-17-2013

Its not losing oil at 140k lol usually the problem Audi's fall apart at half that from what I've read.

Stock wheels have wheel weights lol

They're only necessary if a tire shop tests them and finds the wheels are unbalanced without them.

**Fivefingerdeathpunch** · 03-17-2013

Its pretty rare to have a tire/rim balance out perfect. I hardly get lucky with the countless tires I mount at work.

Your rims have a flat face, so they take sticky weights and weights on the backside of the rim lip. Unless whichever tire shop did them last did a static balance where weights only go on the back lip.
