Default You envy Civics? No matter how much you polish a turd...

it's still a turd when you are done

not the car itself, but the fact that modding them is so cheap & easy

Default There's a downside, if our cars were cheap & easy to modify...

it would mean that there would be a lot more A4s running around.

I don't want something that everybody else has

Default I remember reading about a conversion from DBW on the vwvortex forums once...

It was from a rally prep company and involved a new ecu, throttle body etc. I think it was about $1500. Ask about it on the 1.8t forum over there and they'll point you in the right direction.
