Good to see its gone back to a good home, Im sure you will give it the attention it deserves. I enjoyed owning that lude but Its your lude not mine. That A8 is such a good motor but that close ratio box does need that extra gear :lol:

Cracking car though and I hope you like my unfinished efforts I had lots of fun working on it and VTEC fun, its quick car with potential for more power ;) PS dont forget to get that cambelt done :!: Im sure you are going to find things you dont like or the odd thing I have missed :oops:

yeh that knock is on the back passenger side, it doesnt happen often but it is annoying. It was there before I changed the shockers and I cant see anything obvious, got me beat.

Ahh I broke one and welded it back up at the top where the stck part meets the round bit. It held ok and as far as I am aware causes no problems and it was still in one piece, so I think thats not it. I checked around the strut top for any signs of fatigue too but found nothing. Im suprised the brakes are sticking, although it has been stood for for 6 weeks.

I know I could of done a bit more on this car, but money and time have been a big issue.
I know how much you love this car though and Im sure it is going to be something special. That engine is wicked and the manual conversion is the best thing that ever happend to it. Not me though it was a cold wet weekend of hell :lol:
