Audi Coupe Quattro shares the garage with the 155
That cost £500 and ran fine until I had a go at changing the cambelt on its 20 valve, five cylinder engine. We've already scrapped one Coupe to provide spare parts, and I've been pretending to fix it for so long Andy's been forced to buy a Golf VR6 to run around in; unfortunately it needs its cam chains changing, so it won't be running for much longer. Latest acquisition is a pair of BMW 328i engines, bought mainly because they were £70 each from the local scrapyard, along with a blown up 328i coupe - as it turned out, I hadn't got rear wheel drive out of my system at all. Whether either of the replacement engines actually runs is another question entirely, but there's only one way to find out...

'Always buy the best car you can afford', is the advice PPC mag regularly churns out to readers. It's sound too, but unfortunately Will couldn't really afford a nice quattro so he bought a shonky one for 1200 quid. He managed to get it on the road but the engine went pop quite soon afterward.
At the time, pistons for the 10-valve five-pot turbo were unavailable so Will bought a 20-valve unit from an Audi S6. In bits. After Charlie had finished swearing at him he managed to get it in the car and badgered Dave Walker to build him a custom Emerald ECU to run the five-pot turbo engine - it needed sequential ignition and injection.
