Im looking into putting an aby 20vt lump into a mk1 coupe quattro, anyone got any info on whether this has been attempted this before.

Any idea on what model gearbox the mk1 quattro uses? and whether running gear is same as UR ? sorry for all the questions, just that i might be able to pick a nice one up on friday for a good price.

Hi,
I'm not running a coupe but an '85 90q saloon.
The running gear is not the same as ur. Any hike in performance will require a brake (including larger wheels to accomodate) and suspension upgrade, but all other running gear will cope admirably.
The ur uses an 016 g/b. which is same as coupe except that the ratios are different and it also uses a 3.89 diff oppsed to 4.11.
Hope this helps.
Cheers
Chris

I need to find out the cheapest way to convert a Mk1 coupe quattro to 5 stud/112pcd if anyone can help, the reason being i see no point in using a UR as a base car as none of the original panels would be used for my A1 project anyway, :mischeif:

but you can still use the drivetrain and suspension though

Would it be easier to use Coupe s2 suspension componants as i have a pair of front struts in good condition already ?

[jogi730]

If you have the S2 struts, I would go with them. They have the added bonus of the links for FARB which allows you many options.
I considered this myself before had coil overs, but as already had my brake conversion decided against it as would have had to change everything again.
