Description:

I know this isn't a zilvia type car, but i figured I would try it out. Fully lockable factory rear diff/RWD combo might inspire a few of you!

This car started life as any normal 1984 Audi 4000s quattro. 4 door 5cyl N/A, factory lockable center, and rear diff.

The engine was pulled, and an engine from a 1998 VW Golf 12V VR6 was transplanted. The engine had less than 70k miles upon swap. Before installation all necessary maintenance work was completed: timing chain/tensioner, water pump, arp head studs, mls head gasket. The car was fitted with an 034 motorsports billet starter for longitudinally mounted VR's. An 034 trans adapter plate was used to mount the VR directly to the stock audi close ratio 5 speed trans. It has #36 injectors and a Turbonetics turbo. Chip tuned via C2 tune, custom intake mani, custom external wg dump out front fender, custom exhaust, custom custom custom, if you really want to chat about it PM me.

It still has both diffs in place, but has no front axles, so is currently RWD. It will need to have the downpipe modified to make front axles work. The engine swap/wiring/turbo were done by the original owner.

I picked the car up in pretty rough shape. No working brakes, three different shades of gold, and sounding like the suspension was going to come apart at every bump or turn.

Last winter the entire suspension was gone over, and anything that was starting to wear or was bad was replaced (list below). I can't express enough how there was no bolt left un-turned over the winter. I wouldn't hesitate to drive this anywhere. The car was then sent to be painted Hot Rod Flatz OD Green.

Negatives: The biggest negative to the car is the interior (or lack thereof). I picked this car up with the intention to do all the necessary drivetrain/suspension work, then focus on tackling the interior. As you can see from the picture, i never actually got around to the interior portion. I used my cell phone with a gps speedo app, and there are 4 gauges mounted on a sheet of abs plastic on the center console. They're fuel level, Oil pressure (not currently functional), water temp, boost.

Like I said above, I wouldn't hesitate to drive this thing anywhere. It hauls ass, and is pretty damn reliable for a 1984. It just needs a new owner that can either accept the shortcomings of the interior, or pick the car up and throw a stock interior back in her. (I have a contact back in virginia with a parts car 4kQ, and would be willing to part with the interior)

This car is registered as an antique, so it never has to go through any sort of inspection, and is a one time $50 registration fee. Come buy this thing and beat all your buddies in a loud ass german frankenstein... or flip the diff to locked and go big smokey sideways old school!

Nice work. Very unusual.

[Z32TwinTurbo]

this would make a dope missile car.

[Killercd4G63]

Much bad-ass

[L8-apexx]

BUMP! Someone buy this one off crazyness so i can start on my e36 project! It will break more necks than a Lambo, i guarantee it...

[NY2NV Miner]

what kind of horsepower and torque? Dyno charts?

[L8-apexx]

No Dyno charts. I never really built it to put it on a dyno (chip tuned), I built it to drive it. I'd guesstimate somewhere in the 350ish HP range.

[L8-apexx]

Bump it up!

[TTAvant]

This thing is rad. I wish I could trade you my s4.

[NY2NV Miner]

I can't decide if I should buy this thing or not. Love the uniqueness of it but don't know shit about Audi, especially an older Audi.

Pros:
- Unique
- Apparently fast
- Body looks straight
- Swap looks clean
- Suspension and brakes seem to be sorted
- Good platform for a track/street weekend project (Road racing, fuck drifting (my opinion = ruined most 240sx's in general))
- Price leaves room for upgrades

Cons:
- No interior
- Far away from me like other side of the country
- Color needs to be changed (my opinion)
- Part are gonna a bitch to source given the age and the swap

Anyone have thoughts?

[tayloray]

Let me know on my offer.

[headup240]

Trade for my V8 e36?https://fbcdn-sphotos-f-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xap1/t1.0-9/10505422_3195317647165_7038370043025026750_n.jpg

[L8-apexx]

I would definitely be interested in your e36, but I have yet to receive a reply to my PM's.

So on that note, bump back up, price drop 5k, trades welcome.

[L8-apexx]

Still for sale, found a new project car I want to pick up. Bump this back up.

[L8-apexx]

Bump it to the top. I know someone wants the only (early body) Audi 4000s with a VR swap in the world (let me know if you find another).

As far as parts go, engine wise, they're incredibly common (any 12v VR parts work). The only parts that are truly expensive and swap specific are the starter and the custom piping/engine mounts. 034 carries just about all 4000 supension/drivetrain components you would ever need.

I can't drive this thing through towns without being stopped by someone interested in what it is. Head turner to the max. And I just spent 1k on the clutch, so come and get her before i come to my senses.

[gusisboosted]

If you where in Cali.... This would be mine...

Had my eye on this thing for a while...

Such a cool build man.... Enjoy it.

[kleenS14]

Things pretty rad dude, why haven't I seen this thing around town though. Would be pretty hard to miss lol

[L8-apexx]

There's a good chance you are in the more common 'NoVa' area. The car is usually around the Winchester/surrounding areas.

[SlvrAvant]

offer still stand for my daily driver B5 S4 wagon w/ a 6spd and mild mods

[Sr20SilviaS13]

YES!!!!!
