2001 Audi TT Quattro
 

What's up everyone. I don't know how to post pics yet but the car is my avatar for right now.

It's a 2001 TT Quattro Coupe Brilliant Black/Ebony. Mods from front to back are: Euro Plate, ECU Chipped by APR, raffi shift knob, dieselgeek short shift conversion, ice>link ipod integration, 18'' O.Z. tribe evo wheels in graphite w/ Pirelli PZero Nero tires, and a Siberian Husky in the back seat.

(Oh, and until I get 25 posts: I live in Boulder, Colorado, USA)

Cheers,
Adam

Welcome Adam! 8)

Sharp looking car. I have a neighbor with a Siberian Husky here in Houston. Beautiful dog. The dog was born in Texas - I think it might catch a cold if it went to Alaska :lol:

There is another TT owner on this site - Everso. I am sure he will chime in shortly.

Well, what can I say. I'm a noob. It says that I need 25 posts to be able to post links or pictures, so maybe I'll have to come back when I have my quota filled.

Thanks for your help guys, and I know Everso, he's on audiworld

:P :wink:

Hmmm. what good is a "Custom pics rule" if you can't post pics? :P

so where are you going to go once you get 25 posts?


Welcome to JW. And don't worry. TT drivers aren't that bad. I mean, everyone needs a haircut, right? :mrgreen:

VERIFICATION!

Well, even though it's obvious that nobody believes that I own this incredible and rare automobile (har, har.) I made it, and sort of cheated to 25 posts so I could show you this.

And ZfrkS62, where I go from here...*deep breath* ... is in my hands now.

Cool. welcome.

Now some pictures of the whole car please. Not because I don't believe you, but I just like to see them :P

yay another TT owner, than everso will be happy :)

nice car you got there, got any more pictures beside the custom one? Would like to see some more of your car!

Thanks for the custom shot, and nice little Audi you got there!

Thanks everyone,

I will try to do a little photoshoot of the car by the Rockies (the mountain range) tomorrow after the car gets out of its 2nd home, the shop. It's a true Audi! Always broken :cry:

The only pic I have is the one in my avatar, enlarged here:
http://img149.imagevenue.com/loc512/...0423_512lo.JPG

It's my only one because this is a new comp. and the old pictures are definitely deleted from my camera.

I also plan to do some Vegas shots after I move on the 7th.

"no-good Audi TT driver"
well thast waht they are .. arent they :P ...
nice car .... looks good in black

Looks good 8), a photoshoot in the Rockies sounds like an excellent idea. :D

What's up guys. I'm just checking in after a few hard days of packing! (I'm moving to Las Vegas soon.) Tomorrow I am going to take those photos I promised you. My car is a VERY TRUE Audi, and took the weekend and 2 extra days to make it out of the shop. If you're wondering what was wrong - it was only the window regulator, but the window was stuck down! So I had to wait until my mechanic could get the part in and install it.

dani_d_mas: Yes I have the 225hp model with the 6 speed gearbox. And I actually list my mods in my first post. It's not very much, I'll warn you.

everso: What's up man! That photo of your car is incredible. But you're poisoning my thread with audiworld.com mod-crazy insanity. :P Yeah I think this car looks great lowered a bit. But since I'm moving to a new city and starting a new job I think my wallet looks a lot better with money in it for now until I get things settled. I'm sure you know what I mean because if I'm not mistaken you just moved to NYC recently, right?

Alright - I'll be back.

Nice car man , congrats! :smilecolors:

Can I go a bit OT here?

No big drama, but I am trying to find a good TT to buy these days despite the lack of spare time.
I don't want it silver, grey or black; possibly yellow, and this mean there are really few options around. I just found one that was put up for sale a couple of days ago, yellow, 225 quattro, manual of course... it's going for a pretty good price (13'400 USD) but it has already 120'000 km that equates to 75'000 miles and it's a 2001 model..

How many miles on your car? (asked the same question via PM to everso, but since this topic is pretty new, I just bumped it up in your case :P)

Is 120'000 km too much? Major works to be done at that stage? Wise choice or should I wait to find something in the 80'000 km range?

Also, I was originally looking for a 180 hp one, but definitely when a yellow pops up you need to throw yourself at it before it's too late...

I'll try to have a testdrive this week, but timing will be limited since I left the office a bit too late in the afternoon.. sadly it's impossible anyway to know if it was pushed hard in those 120k km or not :bah:

Anyway dude, nice to see you are still fit and don't miss such posts LOL

120k kms is not much for a car these days.

I know, I know, but selling my car which has 115'000 to buy one which has slightly more, sounds weird :D

Just my two cents... The 180hp Coupé I drove, was really sluggish in feel. The 225hp coupé felt definitely more agressive, and Quattro felt great on it. I'd definitely go with the 225...

Well, I only drove a 180 hp roadster and while really not stiff enough, it had well enough punch to feel twice as quick as my poor 320 ;)

Was the 180 a fwd? I know the one I tried, was. It was also a convertible, and thus weighed a great deal more then a coupé (could be why it felt so sluggish).

Quattro adds less weight to a TT then a softtop... The 3.2 is great fun, but it's one heavy sonova b1tch once you take a convertible as it has quattro and all that extra metal to keep it stiff (which it is). I think it's like 200-250kilos heavier then my SLK, and it kinda felt like it.

But I was really pleasantly surprised by the 225 coupé =) It had considerable punch when the turbo went to work, and I really like the look of the coupé over the convertible anyway. A pretty slick gearbbox as well, quite good for shifting as it fits each gate quite snappily.

You've been really looking at a very large number of cars then, I remember you talking about several car marques now :lol:

I hope you find your perfect match ;)

What's up TT.

Sorry I haven't responded yet. I moved to Las Vegas!!! But now I have my internet and am settled in.

I dunno if you bought the car yet or not but I'm going to PM you with a list of things that have gone wrong...er...right :) with my car.

Shin, the one I tested was indeed a 180 Roadstrer, FWD. It was a rental car from Europcar I took one day to go to Lugano and come back in a day via the Nèfenen. It was a blast up the mountain so I am sure the coupé, quattro or not, would be even better.
For sure if I can put my hands on a 225 it will be even better. and quattro can always be handy.

BTW, I know: Mercedes, Porsche, BMW, now Audi.. but you know how it is: when you start looking for a car with no precise idea, every day you see an interesting one, especially if you are an open minded car nut :D
But now with the TT I am pretty much sure. Just need to find the right one and I'll finalize the thing :D
I am actually already thinking about new wheels, because obviously I won't keep the stock one: only for winter tires, so I have some months untill next summer to decide what model to buy (and if the car will be yellow, the wheels HAVE to be black or gunmetal ;)). Same goes for exhaust: I doubt the stock one will stay on for a long time :roll:

nice idea Espen :D to buy one with fucked turbos and then bolt two bigger ones on :D

And thanks acmarttin for your PM, you could even answer in here since anyway (sorry), I hijacked your topic for good :P

Aways loved BBS LM, but they end up costing more than the car itself :D

Cool Car Dude thanks for the pics!

Just have to wait for TT to get a TT now! :wink:

Nice choise. Soon, U got me in Audi Attach Team ;)

Congrat bro!

Sadly the Audi is already in the past LOL, Porsche time :bah:
