Now.. the newbie questions.
- aftermarket K&N Cone filter? yes or no
- will 17" rims with 50 series tires work nicely on this unit?
- what should I watch out for?
- Is there a firm like IPD for Volvos, for Audis? If so, anyone got a link?
- suspension. Eibach good for springs? What about shocks? thicker anti-sway bars? I'd like it tight. Am willing to sacrifice ride comfort for handling. Would like ti lowered 1.5 to 2 inches.
- recommendations of a 2 1/2" exhaust system? headers?
- drivetrain upgrades. What where, how?
- thoughts on how to increase the power? It seems a tad slugglish off the line? of course I am comparing that to a 92 BMW 325i with a bunch of mods.
- chips. Who does em? Can I replace the chip, does it have a chip?
- Body kits? Links, thoughts, etc?
- any good threads on the forum I can/should read?

Thanks in advance,
Scott

 

be careful what rims you buy for your ride because the bolt pattern is irregular on most older audis...at least that what i encountered with a 1988 5000

 

-drop in filter fine, anything else is pointless on our cars
-17" might look fine. Just get the size no larger that 215/65 R15. I run those and they fit up front. use calculators online.
-everything, do regular maintenance
-there are couple. old audies suffer from low aftermarket. Got to make your own stuff. Like I do. I think 034 motor sports lead the aftermarket right now.
-springs and shocks, good luck. Most likely shocks, some aftermarket might find. Wont be the best out there. Might have to do some your own search. Springs, I seen drops, Eibach has them, they go as universal springs I think.
-headers? no idea. everything else might have to be made custom. You might be luckier by taking your own headers out, sending them out and getting a flange cut for you.
-drivetrain? you have quatro? then couple things I seen, 1 peace drive shaft, and higher bias torsen.
-power? turbo maybe?
-chip, for that old car?. More luck putting the stand alone from 034 motor sports.
-body kits? hmm, I remember there is one company that did them. Do the B4 hood conversion, you have B3 most likely.. That is the most common body mod.
-All

 

and replace the steering rack ahead of time, biggest problem on those cars was the pump and hydro with the slime. i never found much aftermarket but bein there older you can get away with more homemade stuff.
