UPDATE Jan 2009 (picture taken summer '08, click to enlarge!):
The original text was written in 2003 I guess. This is what has happened between 2003 and 2009:
- In 2004 old grandma driving a rusty old Volvo caused a three-car-pileup on a highway ramp. Of course I was in the middle with my Audi. Front and rear of my car was smashed, but luckily I was able to repair everything and also do some updates:
- New Rieger front bumber and sideskirts, new stock rear bumber
- New stock headlamps
-In 2007 some idiot broke into my car and stole all audio equipment, so I put in Blaupunkt 12" sub and 4ch Blaupunkt power-amp. Also threw in a pair of new Pioneer three-way rear speakers and a "Pimp my Ride"-edition Blaupunkt CD/MP3/USB -player ;)
And that's about it! Of course routine maintenance has been done, but no other major changes. I have now owned this car for 7 years and I still love it. And people still come up to me and tell how much they like this specific model :)

=============================================================
This is my project car Audi Coupé -91. If you are browsing this page you most surely know what you are looking for so here's just everything in a nutshell:
- Dietrich RS-front bumper which is half self-made. Also a pair of M3-look sideskirts (had to mod them like hell to fit in). Coming up: some sort of rear bumper to complete the set.
- Momo wheel and Momo gearshift knob
- The 1.8E engine has gone through some little modding and a full "upstairs" check. Only a few small adjustments have been done so far. Should take it to a dyno, but I'm guessing somewhere between 130 and 140 horsepower.
- The car has been lowered 40mm with Sachs lowering springs
- Simmons 2,5" exhaust with a chrome Y-output
- 215/45/R17, Mille Miglia EV-S aluminimum wheels running Michelin tires
- Sony CDX-CA900 cd player, SLP-Dynamics 4-channel amp, 12" Pioneer TSW-303 subwoofer, 4x original Blaupunkt speakers and 2x Alpine 3-way speakers. Powered by a 72ah battery.
- All 3 rear windows are darkened with Sungard
-Some random accessories from a Quattro
Coming:
-As mentioned before, more power
-Better lowering springs and shock absorbers
I like my car very much. It's not the fastest one, but still it satisfies me in a way no other car does.. there's just something that fascinates me. I HAD to get myself an Audi Coupe. Here are some pics.. the first one is with the new 17" alloys.
And a couple of older pictures from a racetrack. At that time the car was almost stock.
