Datsun350Z Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 Picked it up Saturday. 2003 Audi TT Coupe. Quattro, 6 speed, 225hp. I've had it since saturday, I love it. It's going to be hard resisting modding this instead of the Z. I just wish it was RWD. Now that I don't have to work on my daily driver this summer i'll have time to put into my Z. I'm mad at myself for not being able to get anything done over the winter. Here are the pics: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvilC Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 I was just thinking of you the other day and wondering where your Z was......nice daily driver! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Datsun350Z Posted May 2, 2007 Author Share Posted May 2, 2007 Thanks, Yeah it's been a rough winter for the Z. My daily kept needing work, my friend sucks at life, and my girlfriend takes up a lot of time. I gave my friend a brand new set of 18's with brand new tires because he blew a tire and was running on the spare already. The deal was that he would do some bodywork on the Z in exchange for a good chunk of $ off of what I paid for the wheels, and since I was helping him out by giving him the wheels with no $ upfront. That was around september, and since then he molded 1 of my wide front fenders (Which he didn't even finish) and has given me $0.00. It was dumb on my part, but one of my friends needed help, since I could lend a hand, I did. It got bit... Hope to have it out for a Z drive in NY before the end of the summer. If not i'll have to bring the TT to check out the Z's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nbesheer Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 Wow I like those cars. But in that bright orange color. I think their awesome. Is your AWD ? or FWD ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sr-FairladyZ Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 Wow I like those cars. But in that bright orange color. I think their awesome. Is your AWD ? or FWD ? Not to sound wise, but It is a "Quattro" TT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BayAreaZT Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 Nice ride. I know it will be very tempting to chip the car. I just picked up an A4 Avant not too long ago and I'm tempted to chip it even though it's a tip auto. Make sure you keep up with the oil changes to avoid the sludge issue.

Datsun350Z Posted May 2, 2007 Author Share Posted May 2, 2007 Yes, it's AWD... Quattro is the name of the Audi AWD system. But asking if it's awd or front wheel drive isn't too out of line if you're not familiar with audi. The chips are great bang for the buck upgrades. These cars have a pretty decent aftermarket.

Datsun350Z Posted May 2, 2007 Author Share Posted May 2, 2007 Last summer i was driving a miata... trust me you're not hurting my feelings any, lol. It was turbo, but I still heard it all with that car. It's worse to have your ass kicked by a girl car, than to be driving it. (At least that's what I tell myself as I cry my way to sleep every night.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to get some nice wheels for it now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Challenger Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 Looks great! Anybody see the latest car and driver? They compared the 350Z, RX8, TT 1.8, and the Shelby Gt. Although they only tested the 1.8L FWD it came in second. It had almost and identical time on Spring Mountain Motorsport Ranchs track as the 350Z which got the fastest time. If the 1.8 was fast cant imagine 3.2 AWD!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Datsun350Z Posted May 3, 2007 Author Share Posted May 3, 2007 I'm looking into powdercoating the spokes with a polished lip on the stock wheels. Hopefully I can find someone local with a 1 or 2 day turnaround time. Otherwise i'm going to look stupid puling the old spare swap trick until they are all done. Only question is how I do it... The spokes black with the black cutting into the polished part to follow the indent of the wheel? Or do I have the polished outer lip flow in a circle cutting off the powdercoat at the line of the lip? like in the top spoke on this pic. On both the whole spoke would be black, I just didn't want to merge my lines with the shadows in the pic. I'm not using MS paint for the finished product, so don't worry. I'm pretty impressed by the handling so far. I was starting to think that I wouldn't be happy driving anything that doesn't handle like an unnamed 2200 lb. Rwd convertible... And 6th gear pull from 60-90 mph (and beyond) is so responsive I don't bother shifting down into 5th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
