Got me a 02 TA

[BeanMachine]

Hey guys. I just got me a 2002 TA A4 White with T-tops, black leather, etc. Its sweet! So far I have put the FastToysRamAir kit and a SLP LoudMouth. What else do you guys think I should get for it? I have about $1K to spare. Do you think the torque thruster rims would look good on it? Thanks guys!

I'd say a WS6 hood is required!

[BeanMachine]

Oh yeah most definatly a WS6 hood is going on there...

Congrats.. What are your plans with it?

HHHmmm...well, I want to be in the low 12's high 11's at the track. But as long as I'm the fastest LS1 around here I don't really care. There is a couple of people here that have LS1's and I've raced in my 94 only to lose cuz of the top end so I want to fix the TA up and go let them know whats up! So yeah, any suggestions you guys have are most welcome!

My personal opinion is stiffen the car and suspension SFC's, STB, PH, TA, and LCA's. Then go for gears, shift kit, and stall followed by headers and a tune. With DR's and the above mods you should be looking at low 12's. If you want more go for 100 shot wet kit. You would be set.

Stall before gears, and atleast minor suspension or atleast DR's before the stall that way u can hook.

I'll try to take some pictures this weekend and put them up! The only thing that is missing right now is the tips from the LoudMouth. I got the dual dual tips and the people that packaged it up sent me 2 driver side tips so I haven't put the tips on. I was thinking about putting the shift kit in and maybe gears. So you guys think I should go with the stall first?

[SocalSS]

I would go with the kit and gears and then the stall.

I'd go with Suspension.

I would say do a set of 3.73's and some suspension. It will waken up the car and make it alot more fun to drive. For suspension a set of Spohn or BMR LCA's, adjustable panhard bar, and adjustable torque arm will not only improve you handleing but help out with traction.

Some guys will say do the converter first, I disagree. This is the only car I did a converter before gears and I am not happy I did it. Low speed (sub 30mph) around town driving gets annoying sometimes. It sounds like you cant drive an M6. Although it is a mod that is well worth it from a performance aspect. But if you have the 3.73's already, your around town driving is greatly improved. So if you have at least a 3.42 do the converter first along with a shift kit and tranny cooler.

finish up the exhaust, get a set of lt headers and ory unless u live in a pollution controlled state, thats what i would do with the 1 grand. congrats on the TA, love those cars.
