I pose this question to you...

If you could take a stock B5, what upgrades/mods would you do? I'm not asking about body kits or turbo kits (although you can say Euro headlights or chip it). I'm wondering what you would undertake to make the car even better than it is stock, and to have the most enjoyable and fun pedestrian ride. If you answer "replace diverter valve," say exactly what make diverter valve.

 

Miltek Exhaust, Test Pipe, A8 Rotors, TT carriers... list is endless

 

really though... Built 2.0 with a 30r and all supporting mods

 

Bigger brakes but I donz know which to recommend.


















.

 

If I was modding something to be purpose-built I could skip a bunch of stuff and save time and money. Just click on my mod pic and you'll get an idea... lots of overlap.

 

...what stock parts would you immediately upgrade, without regard to appearance or boosting performance. Then, what would you upgrade to make the ride more enjoyable for the daily driver who enjoys a fun ride?

 

MY2000 so its ME7. Make it a 2.0 (built like a brick-****house) and drop in a HTA3076R/w TAPP MAFless tune.
Stassis MotorSport suspension
Alcon brakes front
S4 Alcon brakes rear (need to mod to work)
S4 6 speed swap
Recaro seats
E-codes
RS4 widebody/w Euro S4 rear
100% custom 3 piece forged wheels
Oh...it would be an avant.
