Anthony's 2000 Audi TT 225 QuattroThroughout the generations of Audi vehicle manufacturing, their styling personalities were always kept subtle. The lack of coupe styled vehicles often made enthusiasts stray away from the Audi camp until recently. When the TT was first introduced into America, mixed emotions gathered about the vehicle. Perhaps it was its odd bubbly shape, or just the fact that it was a two-door Audi; whatever it was, it captivated Anthony from Racing Zone Auto House to build what many had yet to see.

Anthony's 2000 Audi TT 225 QuattroJumping quickly onto the new TT craze, Anthony walked circles around the Audi after purchasing it, envisioning different styles the car would morph itself into. Working with Racing Zone as well, Anthony knew that his TT was going to have to be way out of the norm, definitely setting itself apart from the competition. Aesthetics was on the top of the list, as the stock TT lines required some further supplements. Mixing and matching from various companies, Anthony wanted to blend the best of the best to create something no one else had ever seen. Projektzwo decorates the front grille while SGI supplies the front spoiler, accenting the front bumper and natural curves of the TT. Along with the front spoiler are SGI side skirts as the view sweeps across towards the rear. A Mattig rear apron caters to the rear bumper while a Hofele Design rear trunk spoiler adds spice to the trunk. While the TT was being adorned with these new body-lined goodies, Anthony had the entire car repainted a custom Silver-metallic paint with ghost-painted Audi rings on the doors by Silvio's Custom Auto Body and Paint in Orlando. Along with the body of the car, the grill, headlights, emblem, engine covers, gauge panel and steering wheel were sprayed with gun metallic paint.

Anthony's 2000 Audi TT 225 QuattroNow that the outside was done, no car is complete without a nice set of wheels. Again, Anthony desired to go above and beyond the normal vehicle. Pure European enthusiasts will quickly recognize the rims as Hamann PG-3's, but wait, why are they on an Audi? Hardcore enthusiasts would know that Hamann wheels are made especially for BMW applications, and the occasional Ferrari Modena application. Anthony took the opportunity to custom fit these 19x9 Hamann PG3's onto his TT, wrapped in Nitto NT555 235/35/19 tires. The car sits slammed on none other than a coilover kit from H&R.

Anthony's 2000 Audi TT 225 QuattroUnder the hood, the TT gets some extra boost power from none other than Neuspeed. A P-Flow intake kit opens up the air while a P-Chip 20psi upgrade bumps up the boost just a tad bit more. Neuspeed dresses up the engine as well with their polished goodies. A Forge Diverter Valve was installed for boost happy moments, with all exhaust fumes expelled from a custom setup with dual A'pexi N1 mufflers. Last but not least, an A'pexi EL boost gauge monitors the boost while a S-AFC fine tunes the fuel.

Anthony's 2000 Audi TT 225 QuattroIn car electronics was done by none other than Sound Depot & Performance in Gainesville and Ocala. A Clarion VRX925VD head unit with TV and DVD player entertains the driver and passenger while Focal mid and highs shrill through the doors. Two Xtant amps (1001 & 604) power the two Treo SS 10" subs along with the mids and highs, while a Stinger ST-SP1000 battery and cables ensure the constant power to all the electronics. Last but not least, a Clarion TV monitor is custom mounted in the trunk along with the two subs in a custom fiberglass enclosure.

Perhaps Audi should take a glimpse at Anthony's TT and take some notes in prepping their newer generation vehicles, don’t you think?
