1995 Audi Coupe S2 Quattro review from South Africa

Replaced Sparkplugs (Bosch F5DPOR)
Replaced all vacuum- and turbo hoses.
General comments?
This is an awesome machine. it's very quick, is very comfortable and quattro gives the car brilliant handling- in wet or dry! it brings a grin to your face every time you put your pedal to the metal and feel the turbo boosting at full boost.
It needs quite a lot of maintenance though. the parts are quite expensive to replace (if done at Audi dealers, but there are ways around this).
It's fuel consumption is exceptionally high. I get about 15 liters/100 km (16 mpg) on average.
The brakes are useless, especially for the type of car that it is (upgrade to the Porsche RS2 kit - much better) and so are the lights. it only lights the road straight ahead and nothing after that, so many a time things catch you by surprise. (next to replace are lights with a xenon fitment, which uses less power than the standard halogen ones)
This car is totally amazing. it has all the creature comforts like airconditioning, power steering, electric windows and mirrors and leather seats and its got nice carbon fibre trim on the dash.
It has got a lot of power and still kills most modern fast cars - even though it's 10 years old now!
