4000 definately won't work right without major mods and I don't see why
you would want to put such a square bumper on a rounded car :-P

The cabrio might work, but AFAIK the cabrio's all had the B4 front end and
fenders, so the bumper will not line up correctly with you front fender
arches. Do you have a reson for no trying to find the correct bumper for
your car? Talk to Chris Semple at Force5Auto (www.force5auto.com), he's
got a bunch of T89's kickin around.

My oil temp barely reads over 100-105c on the stock gauge, even when I'm
pushing the engine. I think the pressure is ~3.5bar at idle, bit higher at
high RPMS, this is with a warm engine, cold it reads ~5.

You can see my engine water, and air intake, temps here:

> p.s. isnt javads 80tq now a 90 since 90 means an 80 with a 5 banger? :)

No, all the quattors 80, or 90 had 5 cyls. The difference between the two
quattros were just in trim and accessory details.


HTH!
