Sportcross does not have a manual option. ^ =(

Hey Zstuddin.....you sure those tails are for the Sportcross? Make sure you triple check that. Where did you ordered the smoked inner tail lights?

You can always do a manual conversion. Someone just converted his sportcross to a manual!

Haha yea that would be pretty sweet. My car already has a clutch masters stage one clutch and a fidanza light weight flywheel though! I might check it out. I guess it would be a pretty sweet ride and a cop magnet haha

That would be a sick conversion and throw in some cams! =) Red sportcrosses are rare...I've never seen one in my neck of the woods yet.

I've actually never seen one in person. So it would be sweet oh yes and cams haha (it's only a matter of time). I will do some research to see if a swap is reasonable!

I figured he just sent me that as a color reference, funny you mentioned that cause he emailed me saying he made a mistake. I got the inner lights from myautofashion.com these are interchangeable correct??? What about kgm springs for a sedan? Interchangeable as well????

2001.5 Audi s4 Avant 6 speed 1 of 952 made that's a 6 speed avant made in usa. far as the color combination, that's factory interior, i've never seen another like it rolling around. in sedans yes but not an avant, i'm sure there's some out there, just not many.

found some old pics. car looks a lot different than this, as you can see it's in the shop. pic is before the tear down and rebuild on the car inside and out but you get the idea.

^^^Haha yes I love Avants. I had an A4 but it got hit and ran so they totaled it out. I want a 2004 s4 soooo bad. I love the sound of that 4.2 v8, prolly one of the best motors ever made. Whats done to the motor? ko4's?

p.s. nice screen in the gauge cluster I love how those go out on every Audi haha
