New FX35 in Phoenix

[pit viper]

Just purchased a 2005 Blue FX35 RWD yesterday. We're getting it to replace my wife's Beetle, and so far I'm pretty happy with the choice. It looks sporty, handles sporty, and drives quite nicely. A little slower than my car, but definately more powerful than the Beetle.

I'll probably be researching a lot of information here for a while before I post much. I'm going to look at doing the suspension in the next couple of months, but may let it sit for a bit after that. Time will tell.

I only WISH my car was a Viper! I've just kept the same forum name for a long time from a number of different forums.

My car is actually a 2000 Audi A6, twin-turbo V6.

Good choice, Welcome to the Scene
Im over here in El paso. 2-3 times a month I come through Phoenix on my way to Lake Havesu to visit my Grandparents. One of those times we can link up and give you some MOD ideas.:wink (2):

"Technically", the FX is for my wife, which means I have to pass any mods by her (and the budget) first. :ninja:

I get my mod fix on the Audi. :sluggish: However, I've done nearly all I can do to that, so I'm going to be eyeballing the FX pretty hard.

Ok, I may have lied a little. Might be picking up a plenum spacer and Stillen intake/airbox/Z-tube this weekend.
