Well this isn't much...but this thread is dead as a doornail and its [the car] going to be epic someday
just waiting on adapters to bolt them up, then bags are the next thing in line (along with big brakes)
Keep it up ! I miss my car.. nice to see the others out there
Honestly I seen your car when the new owner had it.. I had to replace the right rear window lifter.. and wow yeah its a 5000 but was no really impressed.. don't take it personally. But when I seen the pics with the great rims and all.. I was expecting better.. and when I seen it. I was like meh.
But yeah you should get another 5000's but this time look for something a bit better...
My 5000 needs work as well.. I just don't have the time. I got soo many things running at once in my life that I don't know when I will even have time for it
but I will soon I hope
I told my self many times. I need to put a bit of work in it.. or move on but I just can't seem to move on.. but don't find time to put work into it
Honestly.. for the amount of Km's it had.. it was nice. But i mean .. 5000's are an aquired taste as far as looks go. I dig em. But the ride quality and overall comfort of the cars are whats it's all about.
I was big on the Speed that it had. Running away from S4's, Caymens, Mustangs and Corvettes was always a laugh. And as a whole combo.. one of my favorite cars.

yeah I heard urs was really fast from the new owner. Also I love my 5000 as well
330k+ Km's
Yeah i had a 2.0bar Chip, 2.2bar Wastegate spring and a Stg 2 Kevlar Clutch in it. THAT is what made the car... not the rims or anything else... those were just for looks
Re: Pic Post - 5000.100.200 and V8's... Lets see em ! (VdubFeind)
Just joined the forum this evening. My 89 200TQA has been dormant for 5 years due to leaky PS, etc. Fogot to do non-Op with DMV so by the time I ressurected her, nearly $800 in fees plus new hoses everywhere and rebuilt rack. It's like I bought her all over again. Nevertheless, her she is ready to party.
wow man thats all what I can say. That car is wow. Looking good man. I almost bought one 2 years ago with something like 78K on it. But the deal slipped through cuz I could not get my hands on a trailer to bring it home.
You know with my old audi (87 audi 5000s Q) some days I am like Fudge I will sell it cuz I don't drive it any more and don't have time to fix the few things it needs. Other days I am like I am NEVER selling it. I saved up sooo much sick parts for it. Rims, s4 steering wheel, deck, etc etc etc. And it was my first car I got years ago. And it was really hard for me to find. Cuz I wanted an "S quattro" not "CS or CD quattro". And I know for the next few months I will not be able to touch it cuz I am starting to work 7 days a week :S Maybe late nights? Maybe.
Tell me about those wheels. They're from an A8, right? Are they 19" only? I'd really love to get that design in 17" for my car (minus the rattlecan black).
