Whats up guys, my name is Grayson, and i'm from NC (obviously). I sold my Audi A4 in january and was a pretty big member over on audizine.com, so i know the whole forum deal. just wanted to introduce myself and my car, 2002 TL type-s. i would post pics but it's just stock so you guys know what those look like. it's still under warranty and was CPO, so thats good for the longevity of the car.

i told myself that after modding the ish out of my a4 that i wasn't going to start on the acura, but i don't think i can resist. most likely i'll do suspension things first ie swaybars and maybe spring/shock combo.

not too many plans just want to keep it simple and smooth, looks like a great community you guys have here. thanks.

THIS IS MY SOLEMN SWEAR THAT I WILL USE THE SEARCH FEATURE.

 

Welcome!
What year was the A4? 1.8T or V6? Was it the AWD version? 5spd or 6sp? How come you sold it? What kind of mods are we talking? LoL, I'm just wondering why you wanted to go from that to a TL. I'd rather have a boosted AWD A4 than a TL anyday.

 

Welcome to the forum. Im glad you know how to use the search feature. lol. What color it the TL-S?

 

Welcome to the forum!

 

the a4 was a 1999.5 Quattro 1.8t 5sp. i had some pretty decent stuff done, and the car hauled ass. K04 turbo, lowered, CF hood, custom magnaflow exhaust. i sold it because it wasnt street legal, (no cat), and i couldn't ever get inspection done. also it broke down alot, so i wanted something reliable. i miss it, but im glad i have something reliable

the tl-s is green. not sure of the exact name of the color but it's forest green to me.

 

Welcome to the forum. Maybe either Dark Emerald Pearl, or Noble Green Pearl.

 

Welcome! I did some car audio work on a stock 2001 A4 1.8 5Sp a couple of months ago and they are nice cars. I could see with some mods the car could haul.

Suspension work was one of my favorite mods on my TL, makes it look so good and drive a lot better. Good luck in your modding!

 

I am not an old timer, but I have been here for a little while. OH I guess I am trying to say, weclome to the A family. I am a little jealous of all type S's out there. Mine is 01, so type S is not even an option for me oh well

I am a huge fan of a4. I love that car. I wish I could afford it. 2004 model is my favorite one. It is one of the FEW cars that have perfect design. Especially with mods it looks

 

Welcome ex-Audi member. I wonder how many other -zine auto forums are out there? The Type-S you have there is called NGM - Noble Green Metallic.

 

well i just got done claybarring it about an hour ago. claybar and wax wax wax. looks like a baby's bottom. simply sex. i'll post pics later. my motto is that if i can't afford to mod my car, then i'll def. keep it clean

 

What part of NC you from? I just washed clayed and wax my baby today as well. The clay picked up some nasty stuff.

 

Wilmington...

 

LOL! I also just clayed and waxed my car this afternoon as well. Welcome to A-zine NC-Grayson. Anyhow always loved A4's, it's a shame they haven't been as reliable as they are good looking and handling.

 

Oh thats sweet my parents have a beach house down in carolina beach and its a pretty nice area. I also applyed to UNCW as well (although decided not to go) so im somewhat familar with the area. I know that one intersection monkey junction or whatever its called.

As for the car congrats. I see you like cars that start with the letter A hahaha. Anyway though that is a sweet thing because whenever your online and it says select car acura is always the first choice.

 

Welcome to the spot im new here as well and this place rocks enjoy

 

yo trackrunner, i go to charlotte just to get my haircut, haha its like a 30 minute drive from where Im at.

 

Just want to say welcome aboard. I just bought a TL here last week and found this forum too. Has a wealth of information and finding myself reading post after post to fimiliar myself with all the information about my vehicle. Can anyone tell me how to PM other members? Say's my account is restricted and I thought it had to do with upgrading my account to a membership. But can't find any info around here as to why I am getting this message. Any help?

 

to pm you have to have 50 posts

 

Oh thats cool where in charlotte do you go to get it cut?

 

Hmm, I dont know how to tell you, just know how to get there. Its like 1-2 miles away from a barber shop called No Grease.

 

Welcome to Acura and to the forum, but be aware that participation in this forum causes modding.

 

hmmm not sure any idea what plaza its in or what road its off of? of what area of charlotte?

 

Welcome to the forum and happy modding. I don't think it's possible to not mod a car once you've done one before. Not to hijack the thread but I am planning a meet in VA Beach that has turned out to be quite the turn out. Check the link in my sig.

 

^^That's for the NC and WV people if they are interested in coming.

 

I take brookshire exit off of 77-S. Then from that exit, theres two choices either left or right. I take Left. Then i take an exit off of that, that puts me by CPCC. and the Barber shop is like 2-3 Miles down that main road.

 

Oh ok I know the CPCC area kind of. I admit im not too much in that area but I have been there. Its doubtful you saw my car though haha.

 

nope, we need a meet in Charlotte, I know theres some guys on the 3rg Gen, and some CL's and stuff. I actually saw a 99-2000 TL with oem kit and Type S rims here in Mooresville.

 

I could not agree with you anymore. Acuras are all over the place in charlotte its crazy. They say the RL is slow selling but I see them all over. I dont think you can go a day without seeing a TL MDX and TSX. I think a meet would be awesome.

 

hell yea, but were fucking hijacking this thread. haha.

 

no shit! i tell everybody that i live in wilmington because it's the general area, but my house is actually on CB. that's pretty crazy. i am going to UNCW in the fall though, im about to graduate h/s june ninth!

 

Oh wow thats pretty sweet our place is at pelcon watch its the really tall white building. I would think you know it since its a fairly small town haha. Anyway though congrats on UNCW its a hard school to get into only about 20% who apply get in. Out of all the schools I toured UNCW probably had the nicest campus but since im going to major more in the math field I decided it wasnt the school for me. However its a very nice school im sure you will have a blast there.

 

i can see pelican watch from my driveway about a mile away. i am pretty happy i got into uncw. it was my first choice and i didn't think i would get in at all!
