Just took delivery of this last night.
2018 2.0T A8 LT with Bose. That's it.
Should be an interesting road. I have a pretty clear plan and direction I want to go with the car, thanks to all of the good information from the guys in the LTG performance section. I'm always open to questions, opinions, and learning more!

Very cool, glad to see you couldn't resist staying with us.

What's your plan?

Michigan1LTRS · 03-09-2018, 10:00 PM

Very nice!! Welcome back!!

cooper1965 · 03-10-2018, 02:22 PM

First oil change today, 500 miles already. Finished up the blade spoiler install, and threw on the low gloss 20's at work. Did a quick detail. Looking 100X better IMO!!

cooper1965 · 03-10-2018, 02:44 PM

Back at home with a better view of GM's blade spoiler!

Wierd Harold · 03-10-2018, 02:50 PM

Evil-Bee-NH · 03-10-2018, 04:47 PM

I wanna do some appearance upgrades myself just been to focused on performance mods. Light bar is coming off the body shop i used to replace my front bumper ripped the wiring right out of the bar. I know that was a controversial mod for many people given how headlong i jumped into performance and drag racing Have you noticed any other weird differences between model years?

PolynesianPowerhouse · 03-11-2018, 06:26 PM

I got soo much respect for how quick that 500 mile oil change!

congrats on the new ride

Evil-Bee-NH · 03-11-2018, 06:28 PM
