My 91 200 project (tons of pics)
Posted: Thu Aug 27, 2015 8:43 pm
Hey guys I haven't taken the time to post much so I thought I would unload some pics of my 91 200 ongoing project/daily driver.
I found a pretty great deal, and flew out to denver to purchase this high mileage but unmolested 91 200 for just 1100 bucks.
First, I picked up some second hand mercedes wheels.
Next job was to replace those old UFO brakes. Got some HP2 calipers from a B5 S4 from the junk yard for $30.
Cleaned them up, rebuilt them, then powder coated them myself.
Had to resize my hub a bit to make them fit.
That looks a bit better.
Installed some 7A cams, and while I was in there did a little powder coating.
I got pretty lucky, and someone in a Uhaul hit my bumper while I was parked outside of my girlfriend's house.
Uhaul cut me a check for $2200. Twice what I paid for the car. I spent $200 on a bumper from a V8 quattro, and the remaining 2 grand on a new turbo and hardware!
Then the turbo goodness!
I got a garrett gt3071r ball bearing turbo. I also installed a high flow log manifold and did a full custom exhaust at some point.
Old busted next to new hotness.
A blanket for when my turbo gets cold at night.
Since then I switched to VEMS, installed 1200cc injectors, a 300lph fuel pump, a spec stage 3+ clutch, and switched to E85, tuned by me. And did some random small stuff. Coil upgrade, short shift kit, mounts, etc. Then a few weeks ago I moved to California from Nebraska, and hauled everything I own behind it in a uhaul trailer.
I couldn't resist the opportunity to take her out on the salt flats in in Utah, trailer and all. She got a little squirrely around 100mph
Well that's my project! Nothing too fancy, just a daily driver with a bit of boost to keep me happy.
Thanks for looking!
