Hey everyone,Im Nikole from Bristol(RI). I just picked up a '97 eclipse GSX,and my daily driver is an '01 A6 2.7T. As of now, the GSX is stock but I have plenty of goodies that will start going in tomorrow.

-ACT flywheel & clutch
-t3/t4 60 trim
-fm intercooler
-tien suspension
-Apexi catback exhaust
& still looking for more(in the process trying of getting a new dsm-link,ecu,&pistons)
I'll get a pic up tomorrow!
Feel free to leave opinions or suggestions!

Welcome to MF Nikole. Looks like someone loves the AWD turbo, eh
Do you have pics of the A6? Have you done any mods to it? You'll like DSMLink too, I don't know if you've seen it before, but it's better than "chipping" because you can revert back to an older setting if you want and you can adjust on the fly too.
I assume that your Audi is stock or close to it since it's you DD and the GSX is going to be you "FUN" car, since you've already got a mod list going. I like your thinking, lol.

Yea guess I do like the AWD Turbo huh,never looked at it like that!Here are some pics.As far as the Audi,nothing special,just some audio stuff,Infinity&polk speakers,600w MTX 2 channel amp,& single 10" MTX 600w sub.Nothing big but since it has 3 sets of speakers and 2 pairs of tweeters, it packs a punch.I've only had it since Sep,I wrecked my Celica a few months ago,and haven't got in the swing of things again till the GSX.
Attached are a few pics of the Audi,Celica,& the GSX!

That was a good looking Celica. Sorry it was in an accident.
The GSX is a good looking 2G too.
The Audi, well, it's an Audi...reliable, turbo and AWD Quattro....good stuff, right there!

Believe it or not,the Audi isn't all that reliable! I've had more problems with that thing in 4 months that I had in 3 years with the celica! But, I guess it must not bother me that much though,since I jumped into DSM.Guess we'll see!

If you got the Audi used I'd be willing to bet it's bad maintenance by the previous owner. I'm still dealing with those issues with my Conquest (Going to need a complete rebuild now. I couldn't save her from the PO's damage).

Could be the P.O.,I do have
ALL the paperwork of all the maintenance from the time it was first bought(that I know of). Found everything in the glove comp. before I bought the car. It's been minor things, but still a pain. Burns through brakes and rotors like nothing(and not because of my driving),and now I have to get with Audi to take apart the steering column,to fix that issue. Such a pain,but I still love the car!

That's one reason why I don't want a German made car...it takes their dealerships or a shop that knows how to work on them (preferably a certified shop) to fix issues. My brother has a 95-98 (I forget) A4 V6 Quattro and I still don't understand what the deal is with all those plastic heat shields, lol. I understand it's to keep engine bay temps down, but it almost covers the entire engine bay and it's not like it will melt the hood, lol.
My brother won't let me touch his car (maintenance wise), he knows I'll trick him into buying something to modify it, lol. He doesn't even know how to work on his Audi (scares me).
Nah, I do want one, lol.

Haha! I've held off so well from doing any mods to the Audi. I don't need anything more to help to send it to the "shop"! Though, since I've had the Bishi, I haven't had the "urge to splurge" on the 4 silver rings.!

Yeah i dealt with a few Audis. Forget workin on them. Same with the VWs. I'll take my conquest any day. With the parts necessary you could rebuild an engine in a day and have her running (O.K. maybe 2 days but still you get the picture).
