Aloha from the west coast of Canada.

Took possession of an 1988 Audi 90 Quattro this afternoon.

Good news:
- brand new muffler (installed on Monday)
- in 2006
-- complete engine rebuild
-- new head
-- new rad
-- new starter
- since 2006
-- new clutch
-- new battery

Car was owned by one family. It also came with factory "lowering" spring for the "track" (have them in a box).

Every option except leather. 223,000 km on the car. Graphite Gray in color. Aftermarket Clarion CD player.

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. Ebach <sp??> good for srings? What about shocks? thicker anti-sway bars?
- recommendations of a 2 1/2" exhaust system?
- 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
