Audi 80 Competition

[LU-RS6]

Thanks to 2 good friends of mine I am now the proud owner of an Audi 80 Competition.
Originally only 2.500 were built as it is an homologation model for the DTM edition below.

Power of this car has been decreased to 140 BHP, from a 2 liter 16 valve. A fairly big margin for power increase thus is available.
The steering is simply amazing: the way you can point the nose into the bends and stick to your line is magnificent. Overall of the suspension is remarkably positive: body-roll is almost non-existent, whilst it is still comfortable enough when driving on rough terrain.

Not bad.
It is a sleeper. It looks like a regular B4 except for the S2 bumpers, so nothing that spectacular.

[Ellden]

Congratulations!
I hope you enjoy the car :burnout:

btw: Does that Audi have a lot of km/miles on it? The few that are for sale here are mostly 150K+ kms.

Exactly, altough is it not really fast enough in a straight line to call it a sleeper, IMO ;)

Apart from the S2 bumpers it also has the V6 headlights.

Thanks! Yes, it will not be easy to find one with low mileage. This one has about 170K on the clock. But don't be fooled by mileage: it is much more important how it was treated.

Handlingwise simply one of the best cars i've driven :thumb:

It's no normal Competition of course with Koni adjustable dampers, OMP strutbrace, S2 brakes with dot 5.1 oil, and airducts from bumper to brakes. Ideal trackday car.

the way you can make it change direction is really amazing!

In fact it was a German ADAC STW and Italian Superturismo touringcar "not" DTM.

In those day's the DTM was named in ITC without Audi taking part.

btw, if that car of yours is complete there must be 2 extention for the rearspoiler and a front splitter in the boot.

It can be worse like this one.

but after some work it can look like this.

And if you want to go crazy in the engine room you can make it look like this.

[steve]

[The Pretender]

In the Netherlands they where included (tree black plastic parts) in the boot, but almost no one put them on.

[LU-RS6]

Jarod thanks for sharing your knowledge, one has to appreciate it's ancestors :thumb:

[Ruergard]

That garage just keeps getting better, a true classic! Great car to drive when it comes to cornering... Congratulations mate! :)

[LU-RS6]

Thanks :thumb:

[AndyBG]

Another one great purchase, congrat's! :thumb:

Enjoy it!

[mr]

a friend of mine bought an 80 competition some years ago; didn't know, that they were that rare;

great looking.

[LU-RS6]

Took her to the track yesterday. Amazing how this thing steers through chicanes, ridiculously fast almost for a 4door sedan. On the straights I'm missing some power though, but we are on that already :thumb:

In race trim this car had 280 hp out of that 2.0 litre atmo engine.

That's little more than double the power it has now. :hihi:

I'll be driving it on very small bendy tracks only anyway, so I think about 200 should be satisfactory to have enough fun.

Don't put a turbo on, tune it the old-fashioned way.

btw, here a picture with the rear spoiler extensions on.

Got enough turbo's already, this one will stay atmo for sure :thumb:

[roadrunner]

Your garage, or should i say collection, is getting better and better. :thumb:

and you bring back memories - i watched all the STW races (Super Tourenwagen Cup) on TV, fingers crossed for Audi.

[LU-RS6]

Thanks Roadrunner!

Yes, back in those day's i watched also all the STW races.
The race on the salzburgring was my favoured one.

Don't forget the Avus (Berlin) races :hahahehe:

Yes two autobahn straight's and two corners and one chicane. :doh:
But it was fun to watch though.

Jarod.

[Skaala]

nice! so now you have some of the best from Audis 4,5 and 8 cylinder engines....what will be the next?:hihi:

be sure to take some more pictures, and mabe some video?

[LU-RS6]

Haha I sure will :thumb:

Thanks by the way.


What's next? I don't know. Striking a mega-deal in business and buying myself a sportquattro sounds very nice, nut rather surreal at the moment :hihi:

I'd love to have an M5 E34 touring one day...but those are real rare to find in good condition.

[Der Major]

Sportquattro would be a good acquisition. Good ones can be found for about 150.000 € :applause:
