Hi everyone, just wanted to introduce myself and my car. I live in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada and very recently got a 2000 A4 1.8TQMSX in Ebony Pearl Mica with Onyx cloth. Its got sport seats, CD changer, convenience, debadged save the rings, etc. Did a dealer swap for the 16" 5 spokes (personally don't like the appearance of the 10 spokes). I have ordered H&R coilovers from a shop in the Vancouver area and am keenly awaiting the install. I will be tinting next week, no darker than 35%. Anyone tint all round with 50%? I am concerned that 50% tint all round might not be significant enough but that 35% could be slightly too dark... I will enter it in the registry after completing the suspension, tint and have a photo. I also plan to chip and due the lukewarm response from a couple of the local dealers, feel I need to buy the spare ECU for peace of mind but am not happy about the increased cost vs. chip alone.
I have found the forum to be very informative and look forward to exchanging useful information with everyone in the future.<p>Andrew '00 1.8TQMSX Ebony Pearl/Onyx

Default Hey, a fellow Victorian!

I got my Santorin Blue back in March. Hope you enjoy your A4 as much as I do mine. Maybe I'll see you on the Pat Bay sometime, dodging old ladies and ferry traffic. Cheers!<p>'00 1.8T QSTip Santorin Blue/Clay

Default Used to be Victorian...

now in Toronto. Would be nice to have the car in Victoria, where there is a little less bumper-bumper traffic. Keep us apprised of the mods!

cheers,

98.5 1.8T QMS, no mods yet

Default Re: .. need some details...

got the car from Audi of Richmond for C$39,500 plus taxes etc. They had it in stock, one of two left in BC with sport seats in the 1.8T with manual. Speedway Volkswagen in Victoria has a Brilliant Black with sport seats, but not Bose nor Xenon - they will sell it for C$37,500. Let me know if you need more info, you can email me at ao@nh.ca<p>Andrew '00 1.8TQMSX Ebony Pearl/Onyx
