You aren't wrong
In stock form, this is the hardest manual I've driven for downshifting smoothly. Luckily there's short shift kits available but it'll require more savings.
Motor mounts will improve shift quality 10 fold

Yes sir! I picked up some OEM wheels from the B6 S4 .. lucky for me, they're 18s so the tires swap right over.
So yes, you guys won
For realz doh, AZ was right all along. Avus wheels DO belong on this car.
I can't wait until they're mounted up, time slipped through my fingers but I'll make sure to have them done since my ladyfriend is out of town this weekend.
So yes, you guys won

For you refinishing I would vote a light gunmetal color would look good. Something kind of like the gunmetal color on the C5 Z06 wheels.

I personally would have gone with some 8.5 A Specs for the car...

Hey Tyler...got your request. I don't have the power to let you edit anything. So, I just removed your post and so, you can re-post now with the changes you want.
Hope that helps!

Small update:
I haven't had a ton of time in the last few weeks to work on the ETH FO, let alone spend time in the garage. However, I did manage to squeeze in a few hours on Sunday afternoon to get my SSAC Twin 1 2.5" exhaust installed
Small clip:
Sorry for all the fan noise, but like most exhaust videos, it really doesn't do it justice. The exhaust is deep & aggressive since it only has 1 muffler total.
My favorite part? I get exhaust burbles as the car deceleration

I don't think forcing more air into his garage opener will make it close any faster. He needs a new opener all together.

Thanks Gents!
Encountered a pretty large coolant leak yesterday after parking the car yesterday. Upon further inspection, the overflow tank is cracked so a new reservoir on the way. I'm suspecting it's something between the engine / firewall since I can't actually see where the leak is coming from.
Hope to have it fixed this week.

Could the leak be from the reservoir itself?
Seems to be a common problem for VW/Audis of that era.

For realz. I could have choked a tapeworm on the way home. I was almost certain it wasn't coolant, which lead me to believe it was power steering, brakes, or clutch. All shitty scenarios in the event of failure
Once the cooling system is put under 10-15 PSI, this nifty little tool should help me identify where the leak is coming from:
