2015 Audi TTS (a toy to learn the VW ways)

[Classy]

So, I found this car last summer in Lincoln Nebraska and hounded the dealership for months working the price down. It was a “Flood car” but in my 6 months of ownership, I have found no evidence of it.

September 25 I flew to Nebraska, took owner ship of the car and drove it straight to Texas, no issues except the windshield was leaking… (dealership paid to replace it).

I slowly cleaned it up and started working on fixing stupid things and modifying it alittle. The Magride suspension was a fight to the bitter end… I ended up eliminating it after months of trying to make it work…

I did a few auto crosses and I was fighting the magride rather than trying to concentrate on driving…

Anywho, car is my DD now and I have over 5000 miles on it now. (It had 34500 miles on it when I picked it up).

Mods so far
-S5 rotor wheels
-18” factory wheels powder coated white with 265’s 200tw cheap tires for race use
-034 rear sway bar
-EBC blue brake pads
-not ugly grill
-CF mirrors, spoiler and “diffuser”
-resonator delete for the exhaust
-Wheel stud conversion

KONI yellow’s should be arriving today, but I want to order a few more parts before I install them

Very nice, I've had a 17 S3 for 7 years now as my daily. I'm pretty sure the magride was about dead when I picked it up with 30,xxx miles. When I finally replaced them around 70k miles, one of the shocks was standing upright on the garage floor, it basically exploded and the top half **** near hit the ceiling. Anyways, much happier now on basic bilstein replacements.

Side note I really wanted to find a TTS or R or S3 trans to put in my goblin, but was not successful. They are crazy expensive usually.

Why? The AWD is pointing the wrong way

 

[aaronc7]

The gear ratios are much tighter spaced-- yeah you'd have to remove the AWD component

Are you looking for a DQ250 or DQ381?

250. I already have one out of a 1.8 a3, which has similar ratios to a GTI. I was just really looking to scoop up one of those, especially if I were going to go thru with installing a wavetrac etc. Oh well.
