It died head gasket gave out and partially fixed it then got carried away with a mk2 then a corrado VR and sold the red A4 as a parts car to my friend to clear space. Ive still got the cloth sports seats out the old car so will probably do something along the lines off throw them in eventually as the normal seats are not too comfortable for the miles I do. The engine out the red one will be getting rebuilt and going into my mk1 golf so the red death will live on lol

 

What engine was in the red one? 1.8T? You should do a VR6T in that MK1!

Sport cloth seats with custom diamond stitch inserts? I think so.

 

yeah it was a 1.8t,im acquiring parts to bore it out to 1.9 along with new valvegear and a gt30 for my golf. Ive already got the perspex windows, konigsports, recaros, strut braces, welded wishbones and rear axle(although its still to be triangulated), sourced a repro berg kit and a custom cage.....its going to be my fun car. My mk1 jetta coupe is getting the VR

The cloth sport seats will get the old non sport inserts trimmed in to match the rears and the bolsters re-trimmed and be left at that I liked the S4 leather I had in the red one but im not putting leather in the 'avant'

 

Sweet avant sucks A4's in that color don't exist in my area lol

 

thanks

 

Any pics of the said Mk1? I've been really wanting a MK1 but all the ones in the area are either really beat up or the price is beyond high. It'll be cool to own a MK1 even with a stock 1.8T.

I like what you're planning with the seats. I'm excited to see it. Are the FKs on yet?

 

my mk1,its just a 1.8kr just now but its got a ported head and cams and has a lightened and balanced bottom end,four branch and 2.5" system. Its on highsport silverlines just now but ill swap them out for the konigsport silvers when I get a chance


my jetta which I play about with when I get the urge


the last urge was quite severe


And not had a chance to get the coils on the A4 because ive been busy finishing off the wheels for my friends car for a show next weekend


its an ex red 2.0 16v gti my friend decided to convert to american Harlequin spec,still got a bit of work helping him sort the fitment before the show plus ive got my normal work so itll probably be the start of next week before the coils and wheels go on mine

 

just to round off the history a pic of my S3 pre smash


and post smash


The corrado I swapped for the S3 when I got it


when I swapped it a year later


the mk2 golf I swapped for the corrado when I got it




when I swapped it for the corrado




before the mk2 I ran about in the mk1 golf which I bought as a 1.1 for my sister for her 17th(she didnt like the green so I kept it )and before that was the Passat B5

the (red)audi doesnt get much of a mention as it only lasted 3 weeks on the first engine(200,ooo miles)and the replacement engines head gasket blew after 2 weeks and 1200 miles...

 

Pelican blue is such a great color. Did they ever make Pelican Blue s4s?
