Yeah, but I'm going to use it as a parts car for my 1986 Audi 80. I reckon I'll be the worlds first to have a V6 powered Type 81 
The B2 and B4 have nearly identical chassis, that's why it's going to be super easy to install the engine, transmission, subframe, front struts and brakes from the newer V6. This version also has the 276 mm brake discs and Girling 60 calipers, identical to the ones on the 230 hp Audi S2, so stopping should be a breeze!
I just need to get the DMV to approve the swap... Not always that easy!

But why is importing cars form NL cheaper???
|
Not cheaper than from anywhere else in Europe, but it's impossible to find an 80 2.8 V6 for €2000 here, they are in the €8000+ range because of our incredibly stupid taxes. When I bring a car home from abroad, I still need to pay the sales tax, but I do not have to pay the "import" tax until a car is to be registered. As long as I dont have to register the car, I wont have to pay taxes either. That's why it's cheaper to buy a complete car abrod, to use as a parts car. In addition, I'll get more than half the price back by selling the rest of the car in pieces when I've gotten what I need. |
