Hi all!
Some of you may remember me from the 8L section where I had a Badger 5 S3 with 605bhp! Since then I've had a few BMW's and now im back to an Audi!
So why have I bought one?
Well, it was more for a father and son project with my dad. I bought Bill's old 1.8TQS which I planned to get fixed up (it wasnt in the best condition but for the money it was well worth buying) so thanks to bill for selling me the car!
So.. What happened to it? Well because its age the tensioner had crapped itself, so it was rattling like hell. So I decided to park it up and come up with a plan, which originally was to stroke it and gain as much power out of it as possible. this just felt so wrong. It's a rare and classic car which I feel needs restoring and appreciating for now. I may change my mind later and stroke it but for now, I want to restore its glory.
Its not in the best conditon, so the first job is to get the engine running, which I could just easily get a new tensioner and service it, but I want it to last long. So the engine is coming out and I'll send it over to bill for some rods and a general rebuild, a K04-015 and thats pretty much it! Why not bang in something crazy in? Well I just don't think its worth doing to such a rare car. Plus, I want to use this as my daily car so a little bit more power I can be happy with.. 200bhp plus would be nice enough for now.
