Well folks, I bit the bullet and got a new car to replace my faithful and beloved CL-S. I got a 2001 Audi A4 1.8T Sport. Rather than go into the gritty details, I'll just say it's great to have a manual transmission again. Also, for those who were primarily raised on Hondas or Japanese cars in general, check out the European cars some time... you might like them too .

I had my CL-S in the for sale on the "Black Market" board already:

I'm lowering my asking price to $25000 firm. Mileage is now at 6900 and the OEM springs are going back on this Friday. In summary: Silver, no navi, no tail, all stock with Comptech springs and clear front corners, bulbs, tints, Helms manuals, custom-fit sunshade.

Peace all. I'll lurk for a bit longer if that's cool with you all .

Hey Dyno, hope everything is going great. I couldn't pass up on the deal, since it was equipped exactly as I wanted. Not sure about chipping it, but believe it or not, it feels great stock! I'm thinking about a short-shifter though. You get that Prelude yet? Maybe I'll see you at the next meet.

Type S, I see what you are saying. It really doesn't seem like a 170hp car would be nice coming from the 260hp CL-S, and I wil probably miss the CL-S at some point. In the mean time, the power from the 1.8T comes on very smooth and the transmission makes it really satisfying. It feels *nothing* like the 170hp GS-R I used to own, or the 170hp E46 323 I drove the other day. Still, I know better than to even try against one of you all, -S or Premium. Well, maybe if I chip it .

yes, installing a chip will increase the power so much. go to http://www.audiworld.com/

most of the guys on the A4 forum have done the upgrade.
