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) ![]() |

Great cars,sell for heaps in my country,motors are pretty much bulletproof,injection system is very reliable but moisture in the fuel can wreak the fuel metering head pretty quickly.
The sound of the 5 pot motor is rather special ,they sound even better if you open up the exhaust a bit. Share components with the vw golf so parts prices are fair ,however with a car in this condition won't need much... Good score,enjoy it. |
