Anyone running 205/70R14 on their stock 14" rims?
I really like the look of the white lettering on the BFGoodrich Radial T/A but they don't offer a 185/70R14 |

2.0L Audi motor, regular 924. Not a 931 Turbo. The car hasn't "ran" since I got it. As far as I know it hasn't ran since 1996. New fuel filter, flushed tank, everything was incredibly cl ... |

The early cars had a 7" booster that is almost impossible to find. Apparently in 1980 they switched to the larger 008 one which is also on the 924S/944. My track car is a '78 and I have the big ... |
