Hi, first post!
I've been lurking for a little while now, decided it's time I registered! I've found a fair few answers on posts listed on this forum, found it all very helpful.
Purchased my first Coupe one month ago. 1993 2.6 V6. High mileage at 178000 but pulls well and is a nice smooth ride for now! It was completely standard when I got it but I've painted the surround on the front grille in satin black and removed the 2.6E badge at the rear. I also have a set of 16" 7.5J Azev A wheels in silver buy yet to purchase tyres.
I need to replace cat on the nearside as the fitted one is cracked around a previous repair. There was a slight knocking up front on the 140 mile trip home, so I changed the front ARB drop links and strut top mounts which have cured that little issue.
Future plans for the car include a slight drop once the wheels are fitted, replace the blown cat (unfortunately my car requires the emissions test so I cant de-cat.) Fit a stereo that actually finds any other radio station that BBC R4! And i'm working on a Brembo brake conversion that doesnt require hub conversion to 5x112. More details on that soon!
This is my first Audi, but the car that made me want to own one was an Audi 80 2.8 V6 Quattro. I was working maintaining old VW campers and my boss at the time purchased the 80 for the motor. I had to take it for a spin before it was torn apart! That engine was due to go into a VW T25 Westfalia, but has now been replaced with a 4.2 Audi V8!
Anyway, long first post, thanks for all the info so far!

The Azevs are a classic looking wheel and will look really good on your coupe. Pictures are mandatory on here by the way.
