lol yeah, I didn't mean that we are older... I meant that the cars are older Audis. Anything newer than about 96 (b5 or newer) isn't really in the same category as everything before that (aka 80, 90, 100, 200, v8, urs4, urs6, 4k, 5k, etc.
I don't know where you are from, but you really should bring that up to Carlisle for an "old audi" event. Its a great time and we need more stance representing! I come from Florida every year
Thank you good sir! I can't wait to get some better fitment on it again. It really makes the look of the car. I'm between fitting the gallardo wheels, some RS's, or some Speeldines this time around. Looking forward to seeing yours with the Borbets.

Ooooooo.. I know I was not invited but fill me in on the showMy car should be pretty decent for the summer. I can't believe I'm still going on with this project after so many years. Reason why I say that is. I know my car was TOTALED HARD, back in the day (before I had it). And as a result. Having trouble lowering it proper. And I know I will never have amazing stance
Oh and handles like a RWD
But it got given to me as a gift before I had a drivers licence.. So it grown on me

I know this is off topic... But my Audi 5000 turbo needs front brakes. So I would like to upgrade. What kind of brakes could I upgrade to? And did anyone do it... I would like something worth while.. Like a6 4.2... Or something like that. Thanks

Audi 200 20v has bigger brakes and swap over i think, UNLESS you have an older version of the brakes.
SOmeone will chirp in.

You can do brakes from a B5 S4 pretty easily (and cheaply). You can do almost anything really. The Porsche stuff is pretty easy to do as well. Just need brackets, the right brake lines, and the right rotors.

some new pics, with new wheels (Ronal Startech Monostar III 9J R20) and random sound test vid

As I see it's fully made to V8 look, bumpers, heads and tails, hood and even rear arches

I'm currently doing that conversion on my 200 avant and let me tell you there is a lot of work there to get it all mounted properly, there is multiple issues with each piece added...

Hey Kliminati,
I've seen your thread before and have been following it! I think I've given up the idea of the V8 grill swap...it does indeed look like a ton of work. I'm still planning on putting the V8-style all-red tails on my 91 avant though. I'd also like to do clear-corners up front.
My car needs a repaint, and was debating whether to go with a more "shocking" blue, like the car above.
I'll keep an eye on your project build!

Consider this my introduction. I picked up a very good condition 1991 200 20v for $1200 in mid michigan about a month ago. I literally bought the car, replaced a coolant tank and moved to grand rapids, MI with it. It's my current DD and a surprisingly loyal friend. Just replaced the ISV and got a new turbo bypass valve. The turbo seal is shot so it burns oil and smoked a tad and boost is low but got a new (used) one on the way. Also needs some bushings. So far, I've spent 400 on new potenza all seasons and another 300ish for the windshield and 100ish for the ISV valve. Turbo was 100 as was the upgraded bypass valve. My goal is to take part in a sub 3000$ top-gear style road trip with my friends as a graduation trip. It's driveable as is right now and once I get the new trans and engine mounts on along with the bushings it should be a solid DD.
Please excuse the low picture quality, I just moved and only have a cell phone camera. I'm hoping to buy a decent camera for my birthday and have it before the Grattan autocross.

Just traded my 88 Civic for this bad boy 3 days ago. Anyone know where I can find a decent suspension kit for this thing?

Www.motorgeek.com
Most common is the DIY coilover kit on motorgeek.
And or
H&R sport springs and bilstein sport shocks or Koni yellow adjustables.
