.

If this is your first time visiting, you will soon learn that this site contains some of the most extensive DIY Writeups and Tutorial for modifying the B6 Audi A4. All modificaitons were performed by me, on my 2002 A4 1.8T Quattro. The site started as a small hobby and has evolved into quite a project. In just about 6 years, this site has received over 6 million page loads from millions of users. To help me deal with the growth rate of the site, I have recently added a Modification Discussion Forum . Hopefully this will allow any questions you have to be answered in a timely manner - and by more people than just myself. If you would like to submit images to the pictures library, please go to the Submit an Image discussion forum. I will attempt to file them as soon as possible. Flash is necessary to navigate the library. It has been tested in Mozilla Firefox and IE 6. Thanks for checking this out,
