It is an 88 Audi 90 Quattro Sedan. This is mechanical AWD with Torsen center diff, 5 speed stick, 2.3L inline 5 NA motor. 4 doors, leather interior.

It's definitely a winter car. I've had it for 2 years and have been restoring/updating it. I've got it apart right now actually replacing the subframe bushings and rear diff bushing with solid/poly parts. But some changes lately have me wanting to dump the car.

It's got a few trick parts that I am planning on removing and selling separately, but if you wanted to pay more for them (solid spherical bearing front strut mounts - these are a lifetime-service rally spec part, and Euro-spec RS2 projector headlights... ) i'd be happy to leave them on the car.

Car is quirky but dead nuts reliable. I have 2 sets of wheels + rims, and the second set has 1 season blizzaks on them. Car is aprked outside overnite and will start on our -30F mornings with no block heater or anything. It starts funny - takes 2-3 starts in the cold and you have to let it crank for a while (~15-25s) for warm starts. I beleive this is due to the mechanical injectors used (this is a Bosch CIS-E3 system, mechanical EFI.. similar to some early 80s VWs).

Anyway, this car is unstoppable in the winter(well, i got it stuck once in a 1ft snow drift), and if you don't mind me selling the strut mounts and trick euro lights separately, I'd be willing to let it go pretty cheaply.

If you haven't driven an AWD Audi in the snow you are missing out.

Just don't expect anything amazing - this is a winter beater. It is functional, not beautiful.

I've owned the car 2 years, and here's what i've done

• new shocks all around
• new calipers, rotors, SS lines, and EBC greenstuff pads all around
• new control arm bushings
• new parking brake cables
• new single-Mp3-Cd player deck (illumination matches factory stuff perfectly)
• Removed A/C system (still have it in boxes)
• exhaust repair
• new solid aluminum subframe bushings (in progress)
• new poly rear diff mount (in progress)
• new HD diff/tranny mounts (in progress)
• new engine mounts (in progress)
• new poly snub mount (in progress)

It will hopefully be ready to drive again in about 2 weeks.. its up on stands right now so I can do the suspension bushing work. Car drifts excellently on snow/ice (and has a little body rash in the plastic front/rear valence ;))

Also have the factory repair CD-Rom for this vehicle, as well as some spare parts (spare front seats, for instance).

The car even came with heated seats, although the factory wiring has been removed (it was flaky). The seats still support it though and you could buy the wiring loom from Audi and have heated seats.

I'm going to start asking around $2k for it with the rally mounts and euro lights removed, but i am negotiable.

Note that in the second batch of pictures.. i simply drove out of the snow after brushing the windows clean. Seriously.

Thanks for reading.
