90cs wheels & tahrs.
Hello list,
An immediate concern and a couple stray questions/comments regarding
the
care and feeding of my "new" 1994 90cs non-q:
1. Before I plunk $XXX down on a "new" set of wheels & tahrs I'm
looking at, I want to confirm my suspicion that they will in fact fit
on
the vehicle. Currently has the stock 15" rims and Kelly Charger 195/65
R-15's. I would like to replace them with 16x7.5" Borbet type M's and
Yokohama AVS-I 205/45 ZR-16's. Can do? In the archives, there is a
reference to 205 & 7.5" being the max as far as width you can put on a
1993-95 90 without messing with the offset. Is that correct
information?
Couple references to Yokohamas in a quick browse of the archives, but
does anyone have any other specific feedback on the AVS-I's? I imagine
I will not want these on the vehicle during a Pittsburgh winter;
confirm
or deny?
2. I'm led to believe that the only service/repair manual available
for
this car is the VW/Audi-direct repair manual at (at last count) $395 a
pop. I don't suppose anyone has stray parts of this lining their
birdcages or anything.
3. The car was bought with a nice-sized ding in the underside of the
chin on the front passenger side (this was accounted for in the
purchase
price, at least I'm allowed to believe so :) ), and rather than
exchanging this or that limb for a dealer to replace it with the stock
part I would like to find something a little more distinctive. Can
anyone recommend a person/place/thing for a decent aftermarket chin
spoiler for a '94 90? Life would be much easier if a front spoiler for
an A4 would fit, but accounting for a couple inches here and there in
width I imagine this wouldn't work out of the box, right?
4. I can confirm for anyone who was wondering that when your
three-year-old drops your remote key in the potty and you fish it out
real quick, it will still work. (There's an FAQ entry for you!)
Thanks in advance!
Matt, just a '94 90cs non-everything, but I like it.
