& still looking for more(in the process trying of getting a new dsm-link,ecu,&pistons)

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!
