1990 Audi 90 20v Quattro

Very rare Audi that was only made with this engine in 1990 and 1991.  It was offered in both a coupe and a sedan.  During those two years Audi built around 1700 coupes and less than 1000 sedans.  They came with tons of features that were pretty far ahead of the times back then.  It was equipped with power everything, heated seats, automatic climate control, a power moonroof, drivers airbag, headligh washers, integrated ski bag, a factory rear spoiler, BBS alloy wheels and with things that are still unheard for today like an ABS kill switch and a locking rear differential.  

Here is an article that Automobile Magazine did on this car under its collectible classics section a few years ago.

automobilemag.com/features/collectible_classic/1011_1990_1991_audi_90_quattro_20v 

I had been looking for one of these for quite some time in unmodified condition.  It was a 2 owner car that was originally purchased in Roanoke Virginia (autocheck is counting title events from when the second owner moved from Virginia to North Carolina as a new owner).  I found it when the second owners son convinced his mother to sell it and get it out of their yard where it had been sitting for a while.  Due to it sitting it had some issues and I have addressed nearly all of them and have over $2000 worth of receipts dated since October to prove it!!  It is now in great running condition.  The engine is strong and has great compression and the Quattro all wheel drive works great (check out the snow pic)!!  The interior is also in great shape with no rips or tears in the seats, and no major stains, the power windows and locks are all working as well

Here is a partial list of parts and maintenance items that I have completed (again I have receipts for all of this no gimmicks here).  I have used only oem or oem spec parts and have not modified the car in anyway, except for the radio (I wanted something with an aux input and found the most factory looking radio I could).  I still have the factory radio and it will be included.


Front and rear struts
Front and rear strut mounts and boots
4 new tires
2 Front wheel bearings
Front breaks
Rear Rotors
Rear Breaks
Tie Rod assemblies (inner and outter ends)
Steering rack boot 
Front ball joints
Rear ball joints
Drivers side Window regulator
Front control arm bushings (4 total)
Rear control arm bushings (4 total)
Front sway bar links
Thermostat
Oil change
Several new switches 
Radio/rear speakers
Headlights
Custom exhaust repair
Power steering hose
Hydraulic fluid
Full size matching BBS alloy wheel as a spare


So onto some things I haven't completed.  It still needs a good detail inside and out.  The headliner isn't sagging but has some stains and was cut along the side when the previous owner had a phone installed (yes a car phone not a cell phone!!). The interior dome light isn't working could just be bulbs but I haven't played with it.  There are some minor body work issues that you may want to fix (minor dents) they didn't bother me but they are there (luckily the white paint doesn't show much).  The drivers side seat heater is not working, the passenger side works great but I haven't looked into the drivers side yet.  I did pick up a new switch for it but I haven't replaced it yet and I'm not sure that's the problem.  The rear differential is a little wet it looks like the axle seals are seeping a little but I have checked the fluid and the level is good so I haven't touched that yet either.  Germanautoparts website sells the seal kit for $80.  The AC is not working and would need converted to r134a.   The only other thing I can think of is the fog lights, one of them has a shattered lens and I haven't been able to find a replacement.  The other one is in good shape but I had to pull it out to pass Virginia inspection.  I know that sounds like a lot but I am just don't want there to be any surprises!

As you can see in the pictures I have two keys, the original owners manual, and a Bentley repair manual.  I also have some receipts from the previous owner that include a $3000 service from 2007.  Some spare switches for the interior, the factory radio and a few other spare parts that will be included with the car.  

So why am I getting rid of it after all this hard work and money invested?  I unfortunately can't afford a project car at this point and even though its in great shape now it is still a 24 year old car and anything can happen so I have decided to move on.  

Feel free to call, text or email me with any questions.

2014 Audi R8 GT zooming toward Le Mans reveal

Mon, 17 Jun 2013

According to a report from Autocar in the UK, the Audi R8 is set to get something of a swan song for its own going-away party in the form of an updated GT model for the 2014 model year. If Autocar is right, this even higher-performance Audi R8 will debut at the upcoming 24 Hours of Le Mans race in France.
The 2014 Audi R8 GT Plus will reportedly get a tuned version of the much-loved 5.2-liter V10 engine that Audi has used to good effect in past R8 models. A six-speed manual or seven-speed dual-clutch automatic would send power to the rear wheels, enabling a 3.4-second 0-62 mile per hour run and a top speed of 199 mph.
Judging from spy shots that we've already seen (reprised above), the new GT Plus will be fitted with an aggressive body kit that includes a massive rear wing, a more prominent front splitter and enlarged side blade ducts. A Spyder version of the GT Plus may be on tap for 2015. Pricing, obviously, is unknown, as is any potential launch date. In other words... stay tuned.

Car technology I'm thankful and unthankful for

Mon, Nov 27 2017

The past few years have seen a surge of tech features in new vehicles — everything from cloud-based content to semi-autonomous driving. While some of it makes the driving experience better, not all tech is useful or well thought out. Automakers who are adept at drivetrains, ride quality and in-cabin comforts often fail at infotainment interfaces and connectivity. From testing dozens of vehicles each year and in the spirit of gratitude, here are three car tech features I'm thankful — and a trio I could live without. Thanks Connected search: This seems like a no-brainer since everyone already has it on their smartphones, but not all automakers include it in the dashboard and as part of their nav systems. The best ones, such as Toyota Entune, leverage a driver's connected device to search for a range of services and don't charge a subscription or require a separate data plan for the car. I also like how systems like Chrysler Uconnect use Yelp or other apps to find everything from coffee to gas stations and allow searching via voice recognition. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto: It took two of the largest tech companies to get in-dash infotainment right. While they have their disadvantages (you're forced to use Apple Maps with CarPlay, for example), the two smartphone-integration platforms make it easier and safer to use their respective native apps for phoning, messaging, music and more behind the wheel by transferring a familiar UI to the dashboard — with no subscription required. Heated seats and steering wheels: I really appreciate these simple but pleasant features come wintertime. It's easy to get spoiled by bun-warmers on frosty mornings and using a heated steering wheel to warm the cold hands. I recently tested a 2018 Mercedes-Benz E400 Coupe that also had heated armrest that added to a cozy luxury experience. Bonus points for brands like Buick that allow setting seat heaters to turn on when the engine is remotely started. No thanks Automaker infotainment systems: Automakers have probably poured millions into creating their own infotainment systems, with the result largely being frustration on the part of most car owners. And Apple CarPlay and Android Auto coming along to make them obsolete. While some automaker systems, such as Toyota Entune and FCA's Uconnect, are easy and intuitive to use, it seems that high-end systems (I'm looking at you BMW iDrive and Mercedes-Benz COMAND) are the most difficult.

Audi UrQuattro gets the Petrolicious narrative

Tue, 23 Sep 2014

Audi started a revolution in the world of rallying when it paired an all-wheel-drive system with a turbocharged, five-cylinder engine and a rakish, three-door body. That car, the Quattro, didn't just upset the entire balance of the World Rally Championship, it (eventually) led to a transformative effect on the consumer car market.
But we're not just interested in this car simply because history has proven the UrQuattro to be important - we love its sharply creased looks, its offbeat soundtrack and its gravel-spitting abilities. Evidently, so does the crew from Petrolicious, as they've lavished their lenses upon the car. This particular model hails from 1983, and has covered a healthy 175,000 miles, says owner Manuel Leon Minassian. His first experience with the Ur (meaning "original") came in Beirut, where the car received plenty of praise from students at his school.
That first encounter led to a long passion for the Quattro, culminating in his purchase of this car four years ago. Take a look at Minassian and his Audi in the latest video from Petrolicious.
