Audi 80 B4 Quattro sedan with a V8 engine :)

Great job mate

One question, really two:

- who modifications of the KWs?

- who better? H&R or KW?

Ps. I'm disappointed with my KW v1

The KW suspension can be ordered from audiland.de or gepfeffert.com

I cannot say what exactly will be modified. The rear axle has a 2 spring system compared to the standard V3.

I haven't ridden the KW very much yet. However, found it very pleasant from the very first few meters. The H&R was significantly tighter. The KW is almost too soft for me on the rear axle in a direct comparison. But that can be adjusted thanks to V3.

Almost 3 years after my last post, I would like to get in touch again.

Not much happened. Everything that happens to the sedan are improvements that I have requested.

At the end of 2021 I started to construct a new brake system for the rear axle.
I also had a holder made for the Pierburg E3L fuel pump, since I was still using the standard pump.

So the following is new on the vehicle:

- Rear axle brake converted to 4-piston with separate handbrake caliper.
- Pierburg E3L fuel pump


Here are a few more pictures of the vehicle, which were taken in 2022.






















At the beginning of the 2023 season, the idea came to me again to give the vehicle a touch of motorsport.
I had been thinking about installing a shifter for a long time, but the look in the interior was too extreme for me.

Just in time for the end of 2022, CAE brought a street shifter onto the market, which does not have the usual structure, but is a little more discreet. After a short consultation with CAE, they were able to offer me the shifter for a standard gear knob and without having to pull anything up to unlock the reverse gear.

So I got one of the first shifters of its kind. You can now also order it that way.

But that's not enough. New rims were needed. Not that the BBS LeMans aren't good, but I wanted a one-piece suit in matt black with an open design. Then there are semi-slicks.

After a lot of searching, I found the OZ Challenge HLT in 8.5x18", which I liked on Anhib. After a few weeks, the set came to me fresh from Italy.

In the middle of the year the H-registration took place (vintage car registration after 30 years).

Now I'll let the pictures do the talking...

The wheels are nice indeed. Great pics and a great sedan!

Love it
I want that CAE shifter

Thanks for the positive feedback

The CAE shifter is fun. A completely different driving experience compared to the standard gearshift with linkage.

Sehr geiles Auto, wie kriegt man diese Räder eingetragen?

That looks stunning, you have a good eye for detail, I think I preffer the BBS wheels but the car has a meaner look with the black OZ rims.

I see your running the same tyres as me on my black B3.

And almost a year has passed again...

What has happened to the limo.

Just little things...

First of all, I installed the BBS LeMans again at the start of the season. The OZs weren't bad, I'll keep them and maybe put them back on in 2025.

Shortly afterwards, I started planning to finally change the ESD. The task was to make the ESD not stick out quite so conspicuously behind the bumper. The whole thing worked out well and makes the whole thing perfect for me personally.

The battery finally went into the trunk after I was able to buy a brand new cover for the S2 limo in 2023, because without this cover it would have been neither half nor whole for me. The battery console and brackets have been on the shelf for a while. The conversion was carried out in the summer of 2024. In the place in the engine compartment where the battery was originally located, I have now installed a positive distributor and jump start points, so that the space under the cover is not completely lost. I designed all the cables to be more than adequate. I also added a new fuse directly on the battery.

In the fall, there was another small maintenance job. In the process, I optimized the V-ribbed belt drive again so that I can now install an "easily" replaceable tensioning element.

Even though I was out and about very little or not at all, I took a few pictures that I don't want to withhold from you.

The car looks fantastic mate, great work!

Thanks for the update. Your car is amazing!
One of the cars that inspires me to keep going on my project.

Looks absolutely fantastic. Are the V8 front and rear badges custom made?

[K Simmonds]

What a stunning looking car, the BBS rims do it for me.

I also love the little touches like the custom badges, nice work!

[Jaswan]

Absolutely delicious!

Very cool car, how do you get these wheels registered?

It's not that easy. Unfortunately, you have to "destroy" a rim during the impact test. After a successful test, it's possible.

Looks absolutely fantastic. Are the V8 front and rear badges custom made?

I had the emblems made a few years ago. I wanted something that not everyone had. And S2 emblems don't belong on the car.

Insane project!! Just started the exact same project 2 weeks ago, ABZ v8 + quattro B4. I can only hope to end with a build this perfect.
