1987 Audi Quattro (1)
'Always buy the best car you can afford', is the advice PPC mag regularly churns out to readers. It's sound too, but unfortunately Will couldn't really afford a nice quattro so he bought a shonky one for 1200 quid. He managed to get it on the road but the engine went pop quite soon afterward.
At the time, pistons for the 10-valve five-pot turbo were unavailable so Will bought a 20-valve unit from an Audi S6. In bits. After Charlie had finished swearing at him he managed to get it in the car and badgered Dave Walker to build him a custom Emerald ECU to run the five-pot turbo engine - it needed sequential ignition and injection.
