760 sideways by Kristin & volviz
Posted: Wed Apr 30, 2008 6:16 pm
Now I will tell what I have been doing for the most of the winter weekends, and why 480 doesn't have 500hp jet....
.........................................
Taking a deep breath and here we go
Last year in autumn while mine red 480 was still waiting for judgement...
winter was coming rapidly... and that thought of getting something RWD grew stronger and stronger....
started to look in local trader magazines and online sales...wanted to find something cheap...rwd and hopefully with an LSD option...
BMW e30... too expensive couldn't find for less than 1,5-2K EUR
Sierras, Omegas.... too small engines, then I decided that Omega 3000 will be optimal solution..I could nowhere find it.. and then while browsing online used car sales adverts came across this....
760turbo for ~400 EUR.... called right away and asked can this car be even started, cause regular price for that kind of car in our region is 1+K EUR... and the guy answered..yes the car is +/- in good condition
aranged meeting right away... and to my surprise....I saw this:
Then I thought..if the car wil start I will buy it... and it did
on 13.11.12 deal was held... and 760turbo found new home....
Car didn't have MOT, but we wen't threw smoothly
.....................
Older family members where glad about purchase..cause finally volviz has bought something that is bigger than trolley with engine.... but they didn't know the purpose.....
introduce Kristin to RWD world, as she had never slided cars tale with RWD fun and ofcourse some winter fun for me
.......sadly winter never came..... but we wanted to go sideways......
so introducing
The car:
Kristin
The engine: 2,3L turbo (150hp stock)
as it appeared 760 had some kind of LSD which was working till 30km/h...so quickly speedoo was disconected... and we waited for rainy days...
soon it was clear that suspension is shit and we need to modify the car.... than came long days sitting on www.turbobricks.com
soon first mod list was made:
double sways at the rear, performance chip etc.
Kristin trying to find ECU, so we can order right chip:
as we knew we will need some tires...few were found
and then in one december evening accident happened one b*** didn't saw preferably sign and:
damn Audi
after insurance checked car.... quick repair few days after...
but on that day boost gauge install was originaly planed so:
centre console out:
rifled plastic that was cutted out of VW Golf dash:
ready:
then few days later insurance callded- damage was calculated - 900EUR
for that money I repaired red 480 roof
continuing.....
