hi all,
i picked up a coupe quattro the other day.
i intend to use it as a track car.
this is the first audi i have owned so please bear with me im more at home with 1.8t mk1/2 golfs and mk2 sciroccos.
i will probably have quite a few questions as i go but for now the main thing i want to get in my head are gearboxes. I believe it will be a 01a fitted at the moment? i would like to fit a 01e (?) to handle more power (more on that in a minute), is a 01e swap straight forward or does it require the prop and or drive shafts to also be swapped? also can i use the 10v flywheel with the 01e box?
im going to fit a 24v vr6 turbo into the car. my idea is to use an adaptor to fit an audi flywheel to the vr6 to keep the use of a audi fitment clutch etc. this goes back to my last question about the 10v flywheel and the 01e box, if not i will need a 20v flywheel?
Also, can yous let me know of common things i need to look out for with these cars? also and easy or common mods that are needed etc? my basic plan is -
Remove the 10v engine,
remove the front and rear subframes and suspension and have them blasted and re-painted, then refitted with polly bushes.
coilovers of some description
upgrade the brakes (im thinking of using brembo calipers and series 1 focus rs discs obviously with custom brackets for the calipers) - what options are there on servos/master cylinders?
check the floor for major rust etc while im on with the subframes
remove the interior
fit the vr6 and 01e(?) with uprated clutch
etc etc,
hope yous dont think im a right wally haha, but i have taken a bit of a plunge buying a car i dont know too much about.
thanks for any help and advice
i will upload some pics if anyone is bothered at the weekend when i am back home
sorry if this post seems a bit random and allover
oh well,
Hello and cheers
Jason
oh btw i need an ignition barrel for it if anyone has one
