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)

Hate to be a bummer but that is really old car for a seventeen year old. Air bags, and a kickin sound system, plus reliability is in order (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)

Air bags, and a kickin sound system, plus reliability is in order (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) Well I guess he has to sell off his 914 project too. rolleyes.gif He's a careful driver, almost all country roads and small towns, already badly wiped out an ATV and found out he doesn't like getting hurt. He's careful, already stated the obvious that he's having troubles judging distances etc. Slowing down too early at stops, corners etc. I see him safer in a 3000+ german tank than a chevy cobalt, civic, etc and everyone we looked at in price range was a POS. That said he was hooked on this as soon as he saw it. I had to spot him 1.5K, but it's his summer work money and he's paying me back. He was looking at bugs, his buddies are all into oddball/old cars. I've taken him to bug shows since he was a toddler. His best friend every family member has a show/summer car. Even the grandma has a 40's chev P/U, mom a 38 ford rumble seat, both chevy 350's, sorted, etc. They are always taking my kid with them to car shows since he was in grade 1. Most gearheads in Canada have a summer car, winter car and strive for a cool weekend car. |
