I do appreciate the Quattro system on the Audi, but I'm afraid that one4wd car is enough in the Belton household. That said, if I were to keep the 4wd on this build I would definitely switch to a 993 6 speed transmission and fit the matching 993 drive train as well. We've done this in the past to a 9m turbocharged C4 Celebration and it worked a treat, eliminating the understeer built into the 964C4 awd chassis. Of course, that would also mean that we could disconnect the drive to the front wheels whenever we needed to dyno the engine.

Colin,

I echo the gratitude for another project to keep us interested in the new year. These are especially welcome while our cars are garaged for the winter...

Have fun with it and we will all learn from the results...

I'll certainly be following this project! As an aside - how hard was it to fit the 993 AWD?

i might be new, but ive read a lot of the 9m threads. looks like a cool build to follow.

ruched leather, so 90s.

I was going to ask if you could add a really good short shift to the shopping list for the C4 project but if you are switching to 6 speed then guess that won't be an issue...

RS day at Oulton Park in early March for a first outing Colin?

Dropped in to work today for the usual Saturday collection of a customer's car, so with an hour or so to spare I decided to remove the undertrays from the 964 to evaluate the running gear and take a peek at the engine oil leaks. Here is the photo blog summary of what I quickly discovered:

Koni rear shocks
Cam covers leaking
Cam carrier to heads leaking
Crankcase through bolts leaking
Fuel pipes corroded at rear (at usual place on the back edge of floor pan)
Front differential input seal leaking

.....

Oil filter to stat line perished
Cup pipe
Brake calipers brush painted on outside only, pad slide plates lifting
Cat and heat exchanger flanges heavily corroded

Maybe, depends on what Santa can find in his sack for me to fit in the new year whilst there is frost on the ground.

Got your work cut-out there Colin. Thankfully nothing too scary yet.
It's all good fun

Good luck Colin, I am convinced that we will be amazed with your new project

Nice to see my friend from Nottingham sold this car to a good home Colin non sunroof car too.
