Audi Cabriolet TDI, 17" OZ Futura
Audi Cabriolet TDI, 17" OZ Futura
Hello, this is my cabrio... I bought it about a half year back. There is a problem in the Czech republic to find some people with the same type of car and exchange tips and tricks. So I needed to join this club to find some inspiration or tips and tricks.
About the car - it has a TDI engine (AHU 66kW), cognac leather, heated seats, manual roof and some time ago it was repainted (from black to dark blue pearleffect).
My plans are to buy a facelift front bumper, strengthen the engine, buy coilover kit, maybe rebuild the axles from 4x108 to 5x112 (I hope I will find some information here about this operation), buy some two or three pieces wheels (or replicas maybe <osohozi> ) and tune details (eg. interior carpets, OEM antenne, OEM radio from some newer model, improve sound system, but everything depends on money :roll: )
Before buy - on Brocks
After buy - on OEM 15" wheels
...some interior cleaning, chromed instrument rings installed, gearstick from A3
...now some problems - flat belt broken, cooler wires damaged - working on it.

I forgot, it is a '98 model (made 31st March 1998, sold 15th April 1998 in Germany). I am from Ostrava, I met some people from this forum on CZ/PL VW meeting in Vrbice this year.
Brocks were nice wheels, but I didn't like front wheels without rims, so I didn't buy them. My favorite wheels now are OZ futura or some similar wheels (but the 4x108 sucks, no nice wheels in this spacing)
Today I found a nice video from czech (I think the best) meeting called Collision Event, look <lol>

Do you think lowering? I don't know exactly, but from comparation with other cabrios I guess it is about 40 mm front and 30 mm back. What do you think? I want to buy some lower "fahrwerk" or coilovers, but I don't know which one.
On allegro I found something from MTS Technik 60/60 mm or on Ebay there is one with 75/40 mm lowering (coilovers are fucking expensive, so maybe next year :roll: )

Yes - lowering or ground clearance (?) (definition of dictionary). In my opionion you've got a lower ground clearance than 40. I think you have 60. Look at my pictures. I have -40mm with 17 inch.
I heard that Bilstein is the best But MTS is cheaper.

Kolczat - I wanted to chat with you too, but I didn't know, which one is you... And the gearbox - I don't know yet, if it will fit well (it's a present from my girlfriend for Christmas ), but the guy, who sold me it told me, that it's no problem to fit the stick into my car, maybe with the leather bottom.
One way or another, when I will "transplant" the gearstick into my car, I will make some photos and give them on this forum with some information...
