Teenhulk my 17 yr/old son realizes that his 914 project is at least 3-5 years from completion but wanted a car now.
I found him a real nice condition 1982 Audi coupe, 5 cylinder. I believe it's a B2, same but upgraded VW dasher? Like to lower it a few, bilsteins, don't want to kill the ride, don't want to bag it. just something well sorted, firm...you know like a well sorted 914. Even I don't like the rears, they are pretty weak, car sits nose high like a stock 914. 4X100 wheel pattern so any VW, honda, hyundai, chevy cobalt, etc etc., rim will fit with the right offset. Lots of cheap choices for rims. Any suggestion from the collective? Steer me in the right direction. I've asked over on the vortex forum, I'm guessing that's the best source? The ad for the car he bought, https://www.kijiji.ca/v-cars-trucks/markham...gationFlag=true Attached image(s)

A couple of things.
The Dasher/Audi Fox are considered B1 cars. The CGT is more like the Quantum. In Europe the Dasher is the same as the B1 Passat and Quantum was a B2 Passat. I am not following you, but you won't get much out of the VW Vortex Fox page. I have one of those cars also. If you decide to up grade the front brakes, this car has the same brake carrier bolt pattern as the later years 4k/Quantum/VW Fox/VW Scirocco cars. Your brakes are probably 239X20. You can do an easy upgrade to 256X20. Send my a PM and I can send you pictures and stuff. Greg W. |
