    B3 Audi 80 1.8T converted

    Circumstances are changing for me, and I it looks at though I wont be needing either of my cars, so I am going to put both up for sale - I have spent literally thousands on these, and obviously this one in particular has been pursued endlessly and expensively to solve a problem with the throttle body, which thankfully, I can report is solved once and for all and makes a healthy 171bhp on the dyno, no errors, no issues!

    I understand that I wont get back the level of cash that I have thrown at this car, so I will be taking a some bits off it to put it back to a place where I feel it balances out with a realistic sale price.

    Good bits:

    - Quick, light and economical
    - AEB drive by cable 1.8T AEB unit, stage 1 map on Stock K03
    - loads of new part to solve throttle issue (wiring, throttle body, barometric pressure sensor, PCV, inlet manifold, inlet sensor, lambda sensor, you name it...)
    - Forge Diverter valve
    - Custom made turbo back decat (its a 1990 - no need) 2.5" MIJ exhaust system
    - MOT'd till 27 June 2014
    - Taxed till xmas or april next year (Cant remember will check and update)
    - Good, solid rust free body, original
    - Rare Kamei Sport front bumper
    - UR Quattro FMIC
    - Upgraded speakers
    - Alloys and tyres all 100% OK
    - Carbon CAI kit
    - Custom made 1.8T carpets
    - more history that you can shake a stick it dating back to the original sale of the car, its a 2" think book of receipts, mots, work and brochures, very, very comprehensive!

    Being done now:
    - power steering pump went and broke the bracket that it was attached to, this is currently in the process of being fixed now with a replacement pump, bracket, viscous fan and housing

    Bad bits:
    - has some small gouges on the bonnet from a failing piece of metal that came off a truck, would just need a small bit of filler and a blow over of the bonnet to fix
    - same pieces of metal from truck put a small hole in the lower part of the kamei front bumper, again, paint and filler will fix

    What I was planning but now wont be doing:
    - Upgraded turbo, injectors and fuel pump + remap (should easily see 250bhp+)

    Notes:
    - I am basing the price on putting the car back to the stock B3 Black Jaquard satin interior, steering wheel and rear light clusters, however, if you want the full ABY/B5 S4 leather, 90 panel and sport steering wheel, check below

    In closing, I am gutted to sell it, especially as it all it will need now to be perfect is a little paint and a big turbo, but circumstances have changed and it is what it is...

    Based in northampton, prices as follows:

    Without Leather: £2500
    With Leather: £2800
    With Leather, 90 panel and sport wheel: £2950

    Incidentally, I had the T28 turbo fully rebuilt by Turbo Technics with a 360 degree thrust bearing, 64 housing, double sealed and various other mods, I also have the manifold, injectors and 044 fuel pump sitting here ready to go, but will be listing that separately.

    If someone wants the full car with all the bits ready to finish it off, PM me and we can negotiate.

    Honestly, I am gutted

                        I know, and he has my loyalty now for it, but needs must, the 80 estate is going and I am also going to be listing a smorgasbord of stuff soon...

                        It is sad to sell it, but the new owner is an enthusiast as well and has plans for it as well so I am sure it will make its way back on here soon enough

                            I have all the bits, turbo, the lot everything to go on and finish it, I have just got a new deal and need to buy some more camera gear for work (EOS 1D X) which is going to set me back loads, something had to give... plus, if I am honest, I think I have kinda got to the end of my patience with teething issues, problem solving, etc, the irony is that the car is running sweet now, no issues, and he really is getting it at its best ready to move forward.

                            I've spent literally thousands on it, sometimes you have to review your priorities, your desire and balance it with the things that make you money (ie work) and thats where I am at at the moment, I cant run two cars like this (the B3 & the B4) whilst having loads of money invested in parts when they could be free'd up to get my business moving forward.

                            Jamo, you must get this feeling too, your blue S2 always had me drooling over it at Aidan's and you came to the end with that as well, when you were so close!
