Hi Everyone. My name is Luke, I drive a 2001 WS6 that I've owned since 02. I have only gone autoXing once but plan on many more trips to the track this year. I am not interested in making my car a track only car, I'm more interested in having a well rounded Street/AutoX/Strip, the latter being the least of my priorities although it is fun. I don't mind sacrificing a lil to gain a lil when it comes to daily comfort and streetability. My first goal is to just learn how to drive the car on the track and then drive it well.

My Mods are as follows:

UMI Poly LCA's
UMI ADJ. PHB spherical
UMI STB
Sportline spring (front)
Isolator delete (rear)
Custom TQ Arm (still in the making stay tuned)

6sp swap
ram HD, and RAM Billet Flywheel
Mcleod ADJ Master Cyl
Richmond 4.10's
Custom 10bolt reinforcement

BFG TA KD 275 40's (front) 315 35's (rear) not installed yet, waiting on new wheels

C5 conversion (front) calipers at powdercoat as I type
powerslot and hawk pads (rear)

SLP Double Diamond SFC's
Wolfe Racecraft 6pt Bolt in (welded)

Full exhaust Long Tubes, QTP Y-pipe W/cats, Flowmaster cat back and a Electric cutout.

Need to do bushing upgrades, swaybars, Adj shocks and would like to do full front suspension

Well that's about it. You can see my heap at cardomain: http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2952514

Welcome! I like your pic on cardomain.....doing` the burnout with snow on the ground and a next to a "real" Christmas tree.
My buddy has an `02 just like yours except the wheels are different. It`s still the A4.

I`d get rid of the poly LCAs. I went from poly LCAs to LG Motorsports Aluminum LCAs with QA1 rod ends. Gigantic difference. No bind. The rear is allowed to move and work. I also have a Spohn PHB w/ QA1s. The rear feels a lot more planted. And I don`t mind the little bit more harshness of the rod ends.

Yeah that pic was in Germany at an event called German Race Wars. It was an old runway with a 1/4mile strip set up on it. That was the Christams event, so that explains the Christmas Tree, and to tell you the truth I really don't think I've ever noticed that tree.LOL! They raced no matter the weather. That day happened to be snowing and icey. Good Times!

I had a set of LCA "no name" cheapy's that had the spherical bearing rod ends and I took them off after about a month. Cobble stone and those things didn't agree. I may get a good set later on down the road, since I rarely drive the car anyway. After putting in the roll bar the car is a pain in the ass to get in and out of anyway, so what's one more annoyance gonna hurt.
