[AUDI] 4k owners?



Hello all.  I just want to take a minute and say I just joined the list.  I
am wondering who else out there has a 4k and loves it as much as I love mine?

I have a 1986 Audi 4000s (no quattro, frown), silver w/ black trim.  I have
tinted it all the way around very dark.  I have lowered it about an inch.
I have put 15" wheels with 205/50's on them, the offset on the wheels
sticks the tires where they were meant to be, even with the wheel well.  I
have cut the shifter and re-threaded and put a polished T-bar shifter on
it.  I have installed Momo pedals.  I have hard wired my Radar to the fuse
box with no visible wires.  I have wired my garage door opener to a push
button switch located directly above the window switches (looks stock!)  I
have vinyl covered a piece of plywood cut perfectly to fit in the trunk
eliminating the awkward support beams.  Underneath this lies a full size
spare which fits perfectly in the space between the two support beams (this
does eliminate some space, but makes a nice flat surface in the trunk,
looks real professional).  Now for stereo.  Pioneer in dash CD, Pioneer
304, Pioneer 502, Pioneer 3 1/2s in the dash, Pioneer 4x10s in rear deck,
and Pioneer 12 in the trunk.

Now for performance (the lacking department).  I have removed the
restrictive two part exhaust system and put a very high flow exhaust with a
two tip chrome split.  I have also installed a K&N filtercharger.  That is
about it.  This is my problem, what else can I do other than aftermarket
turbo (which I would like to do if I had the money)?

Needless to say the car looks fantastic and gets up and moves much better
than without the exhaust.  Trade off, it is loud as can be.  I am young,
19, so this does not bother me.  Some may think a bit much, the performance
it gives me makes up for it.

Also, what suspension kits to 4k owners reccommend?  I need to do something
about my body roll.

Sorry for the long post, it is just my introduction and I will not do this
anymore.  I am just excited to be on the list with other 4k owners!  So
what do you all think?  I will have to get a pic on my web page of it, it
looks pretty nice.
