Default I love my wifes 2001 2.8 tip. She hates it. But its a great car. Just got my Blackstone report back

for this car and they said the oil looks great. They suggested I try to run it to 7500 miles next time.

But back to the car itself. I love it! I took it out in a foot of snow last week just to drive and slide all over the place. nothing would stop it. I couldnt get it stuck and i was kind of trying. Its completely stock, sport suspension and new tires. It leaks gear oil and i smell it burning, the brakes are shot on it, and i have the left turn squeak from the blower motor. All that bothers her but not me. I want to supercharge this thing now but my only concern is the tip. And the only thing i dont like about the car is the stock non heated seats.

Default I specifically ordered my '98.5 A4 w/o heated seats.

Who needs 'em in Phoenix? Waste.

Now, chilled seats would be a great option.

If you love the car, don't ruin it with a supercharger....especially with a tip.

I can see that, but here in Idaho it is needed. Almost year round
