Matt,

Please don't take this the wrong way as there is no malice intended.  Not
ALL the five-cylinder series I Audi Coupes in the USA have a PCD of 108mm.
MOST of the very early 5-cylinder coupes I've come in contact with have had
the 100mm bolt patterns.  My '81 5-cylinder parts-car coupe has the 100mm
pattern as does most of the coupes owned by an aquaintance of mine (6+
coupes with more bought weekly; I haven't even had the chance to put an
offer on a wrecked coupe here in Portland in over 2 months!).

You European guys always get the better gear!
