haven't done too much to this thing, heres a couple pix since lowering/fitted the rims. sorry for the average pics i was trying out the camera on my new phone and fuffed it abit lol. wanting to buy a house soon so no money will be spent on it for a while, including the corolla. but one day!

i've half decided that the only way ill be keeping this thing atm is if i can source a cheap bare 20b block and go the n/a 20b pp route. ive got a mate that i can build it with on the cheap so thats not much of a problem. just fitting the thing would be.

for anyone that still remembers this thing my project is pretty much dead. haven't got the time or money anymore to even look at the thing and its taking up space :(. i never though it would come to me thinking of selling it but it might be on the cards. ill see what happens but if nothing changes u might see it up for sale on here soon enough.

ive still got the car, haven't touched it in awhile tho. since moving out i haven't had the $$$ to do too much with it. ive since sold off most of the driveline (motor, turbo, gearbox etc) and will be going a different direction with it when i have the money. even though the car is just sitting there doing nothing i can't sell it, i love it too much lol.

this looks very similar to a matt black ke10 i had 2 years ago, possibly the same car? i have no idea what happened too it after i sold it, always wanted to put a 12a in it :(.

Thanks for the comments guys. ive always been a fan of this model of audi, and the trusty 5 cylinders are bulletproof! considering the weight of the car (1700kg or so) they go suprisingly well. on paper they do 0-100 in around 6 seconds, which is pretty close to what i've gotten. the car has just ticked over 200,000ks which is still baby k's when it comes to these engines apparently which is nice, its due for a cambelt so will be doing that soon. ordered some BBS LM 19" replicas which should arrive next week and ordered a set of front and rear adjustable coilovers for it so i can stiffen it up and get rid of the 4x4 ride height. eventually want to get a turbo back 3" exhaust, but will be keeping the motor stock for now, apart from abit more boost. planning to take it to the track, wouldn't mind trying my hand at some curcuit work in it, would be abit of fun :). changed the steering wheel from the horrible 4 spoke to the standard 3 spoke non airbag wheel which looks ace, and chucked on a mesh grille, also removed the butt ugly spoiler, just need to get the holes filled up now. also got some euro plates for it :). heres the rims and coilover kit

Hey guys thought i'd put up some pics/info of a new weekender i bought recently, getting it freighted down from QLD, should arrive next week sometime. its a 1994 Audi S4, pretty rare these days and i've always wanted one since i drove one a couple years ago at my old work but they where always out of my price range. soon as i spotted this one i had to have it. there pretty tricked out from factory, they are a 20v inline 5 cylinder turbo, externally gated, 227bhp with quattro drivetrain, factory diff lock, 6 speed manual, electric everything with comfy as f@$k leather seats, factory colour coded sunroof etc. ordered some euro plates for it, once i get it transferred/regoed etc I'm gonna start doing afew little mods, not going crazy as i don't want to wreck the look of the car. heres what ill be doing in the near future, -lowering job with either coilovers all round ($$$ permitting) or bilstein shock/eibach springs -turbo back 3" exhaust, hi-flo cat, one muffler -linea corse lemans full black rims (haven't decided on size, offset etc yet) -remove the god awful spoiler, hateee it -give it a general clean up, needs a cut n polish in places and the leather needs some looking after in places. just planning on enjoying this car as i get bored driving my camry every day and my corolla rotary is a very slow work in progress so i wanted something for weekends etc and i was over buying aussie/jap cars. heres a couple pix of it, let me know what you think!

thanks mate. i can't remember exactly, the rad was around $800 made from my specs/diagrams, oil cooler was an off the shelf one, $400 odd i think.

i tried it the other way aswell but i like the way it looks here. atm where it is its pretty close but its not hitting, ive had the crossmember modified already as i wanted to move the engine back earlier. ive got about a finger gap from steering lock stoppers on eithr side of the crossmember and about 40 odd mm from the hump of the sump to the front of the crossmember so it should be alright.

finally managed to mount the oil cooler in a better way then it was originally, made up afew crude brackets and utilized the existing castor mount bolts making the oil cooler sit in abit more and on an angle, i think it looks way better then hanging underneath the intercooler. let me know what you think? also cut a hole for the shifter in my tunnel n will be moving the engine/box back another 50mm and ill be making a solid engine mount using the exisiting engine brace but modding it so i can use the factory weld on threads on the castor mounts. roughly where engine will sit after moving rearwards trans tunnel cut

yeah 13BT_KE20 i was thinking about that earlier about where the oil cooler etc sits it does look abit odd where it is, had a bit of a brainstorm in how i could make it look nicer and the front end aswell cos i just hate how the rad supports are designed on ke rollas, just gonna go visit an engineer mate of mine on monday to make sure its alrite before i start hacking lol. haha yeh its got some intense toe action going on.

its got 235/60s on the back already, thats as big as i wanna go for the time being, planning to move upto 15x12s after i get the car on the road.

messed around with the front end bits roughly getting everything in place, had to hack my spare grille and apron abit to fit the cooler but it doesn't look that bad, I'm not going for the stealthy look otherwise i'd be failing atm lol. can't seem to find the metal bit that goes under the grille on top of the apron so it looks abit weird atm. just gotta make up mounts for the oil cooler and get it sitting abit closer to the intercooler and it shuld look alrite. btw the front wheels are all mental atm cos ive ripped the lower control arms etc out.

cooler piping is coming up through the inner guards, either side of the bottom of the cooler, the turbo will more than likely be moved back as i will be running a filter, ill see what the smallest filter i can find is and go off that. yeh it doesn't have to come back all that much. thanks for the kind words, yeh it has been abit slow but I'm not fussed, it will get there eventually.

ive got a 235/7.5" rim under the bum of my ke26, just had to box the standard wheel tubs all the way upto the chassis, didn't cut the chassis at all. could probably fit a 245/8" with the right offset.
