200q20v Eye & Ear Candy

I would jam it, don't ask me how I know!  Or at least test it.

Hi  Kenneth,

my friend owns a body shop in oakland, ca where i live. won't  be free, but 
should be a decent buddy deal. i don't think i'll have to jam it  because 
lago is pretty close to oceanic, but without the green tinge. my  friend has 
an oceanic 4kQ. the colors look relatively close when you park them  next to 
eachother.


my 200q20v is proof that one should never buy a  car hastily because 
"you've always wanted one".

i bought the car  (listed on audifans in 2008) for $2,800. mainly because 
it had low miles -  advertised at 110k. recent timing belt, brake bomb, 
radiators, UFOs, 17" A4 B6  rims, complete records including original window 
sticker. the guy was honest -  said the shocks were shot and the bose stereo was 
a POS, a/c stopped working,  needed tires and the sunroof didn't slide 
back. but it was literally in my  back yard.

i go to check the car out in hayward. the paint is shot.  roof is faded. i 
open the door and the mileage says 114k. not a big deal, but  the story 
behind it is sorta funny. the owner moved to hawaii and left it with  his uncle 
to store and to drive ONCE IN A WHILE to just keep the car from  rotting in 
his driveway. i guess his uncle really liked driving the  car.

his original plan was to buy the car and rape it for the 3B for  his UR 
Quattro. but he said he just couldn't bring himself to kill the  200q20v. so he 
just ended up keeping it.


the paint was a super  bummer - but the interior was clean and the records 
dictate that the mileage  was indeed authentic. so, i buy the car. passes 
smog the first time too. i  thought i'd be into the car about $7,500 with 
paint and tires.  BWHAHAHA!!!!!

anyway, long story short - the car current state is as  follows:

- dyno tuned 034 chip - 233WHP/260 torque - so a good  280HP/305 torque at 
the crank. goes like stink. javad said he could push it  more - but doing so 
is stupid with the stock injectors.
- koni  shocks/H&R springs (bought used from force5)
- 034 billet bypass
-  samco hoses (bought used from a friend)
- 034 N75H WGFV
- 034 silicon  breather hose kit
- 034 tranny mounts
- kuhmo ECSTA SPT tires

- i  gotta paint it though. still looks sorta ghetto with the worn lago. 
other than  that - i plan on an 034 turboback. already have the euros and V8 
tails. also  have some good sunroof rails so the thing will finally slide 
back.

i'll  NEVER get my money out of the car once it's done. which is fine. it 
will look  killer, hang with modern sport sedans and it will probably be my 
casket when i  die ;-)

see  ya,
Robby

Wow, Oceanic Blue on a  200q20v.  That would be sweet.  I haven't seen that 
combo  before.  It's a great color.  Lago is nice too, but Oceanic would be 
 sweet!

Are you having the paint done or doing it yourself by any  chance?

Looks nice with those wheels, and love the  V8 tails. Very aggressive!
Definately need to get it on the road and enjoy  it, and surprising people 
at
it's speed. And, most people have no idea how  old these cars are, either.

Would love to see it with some good camera  pics as well, you will have to
post those once you get a chance. I love eye  candy!!
