Yeap, that is a GLANZA to be more precise. There are quite a few of those in my country. Some of them with T3 and T4 and can beat the crap out of any Honda out there. Heck some of them beat the crap out of the GT4s. I have seen a couple of them doing high 11s on the quarter mile. I consider it the most bad ass car in its category. Very reliable car for mods.

i still think german cars fall behind in alott of things, like reliablity. after having various benz/bmw's in the family i just wasnt pleased, the second we got a lexus 430... all those problems we had to worry about with the german cars went away. i think its easy to pull power out of any motor. have you dynoed your audi? thats impressive.

I wish we had them little echo hatchbacks here in the states. I'd hop in one. Saw one cruising into Minnesota from Wisconsin. Its a beautiful little thing.

I haven't dynoed it yet, as I have not swapped the engine yet I will though, as soon as the money and the details are in place. I have found a workshop nearby that will do the swap. Working on some ECU/electronic stuff right now, and I also need to find a mint condition engine (1.8T).. I will probably dyno the original 2.0 NA engine some day though, to see before/after numbers.

You mention reliability on Mercedec and BMWs.. I have never owned any of those, but I know a ****load of people who do.. And they all have problems. I know without doubt that any Audi will fall apart alot faster than most Toyotas, but compared to Mercedes and BMW I have to say.. Most people I know with Audis hardly have problems (with newer cars! Old cars have lots of problems all the time). So I'm crossing my fingers for the Audi If it breaks atleast I have tried it.. I can easily switch back if I'm not happy.
