Looks good. Do you have any pics of how the front seats are mounted. Are they low enough down for you?

Figure marked section is cut away.

i also had to remove those original "seat mount" sections to fit my seats.

Q4 has a fresh MOT and it passed with flying colours. Emissions are spot on and car works nicely at the moment...

My Q4 has also a fresh MOT, last week. We can enjoy the Finnish autumn with a Q4

Now we have a lot of snow. But my Q4 is waiting for engine rebuild and front diff says klonk klon!
But luckily I found my brother a new car, 156 Q4 Crosswagon. Nice =)

Be interested to hear how you think the 2 4wd systems handle the slippy stuff.

I found a Finnish company, which makes truck chassis parts. They will also make custom parts for cars. I asked a 26mm anti-roll bar price the my Q4, they says about 500€! Pretty expensive? Does anyone have information on where to ask?

The engine is almost ready and I'll get it back, it's really nice.

Some more photos.

A lot of parts have been purchased but many parts are still missing.
Front brake lines, cooler, oil cooler, better power steering cooler...

Hy!

Looking at picture with conrods. While u have them out. I recomment putting them on same weight ( accurate to 0.1g ) , for less stress on crank and better engine performance.

Kai Q4
27-08-14, 17:01
^Conrods are balanced now, there was quite a lot of difference in weight.

Why not try a Fiat Coupe rear ARB?

Kai Q4
27-08-14, 20:17
Rear ARB is still in place, then not occur to me to look at it from other cars.

Hopefully it's occurred to you now. :thumbsup:

If the rear is still complete and you can get one to experiment then the timing is perfect.

The latest purchase!

Kai Q4
14-04-15, 18:07
I ordered the bigger brakes so I need the larger wheels. Another q4's owner wanted 16 inch, so I got a change of OZ Superleggera 17 inches. =) I also bought the brake lines, I didn't found the 155 but the 156 pipes is well suited to the front.
