my friend is selling his 94 lt1 a4 for 2500 he is trying to buy a truck and wants to get rid of his car,

pros- pacesetter long tubes, chip, K&N CAI, good price 96 thousand miles

cons- he hit a gaurd rail on the passenger side and has replaced all body parts except he hasnt had it painted, the transmission also has a problem with it, every time he puts it WOT in second gear it shifts down and just bounces off the rev limmiter?

what do u guys thinK? is it a good deal?

and if anyone has had a similar problem with an A4 doing that advice would be apreciated.

thanx for reading kinda long tho sry

IMHO take the 2500 and buy headers, y pipe, and a ls6 intake for that 2000z in your sig.

If you're buying for a DD, i'd do it. Keep the miles off the LS1, if not, i'd look away quickly. The trans will be fine if you stop hammering on it.

94 Lt in good shape with that ammount of miles is wort about 3500 Bucks or so.

A lot of people will rag on the lt1 more than is necessary. yes, the ls1 is a better engine, looking at your sig you know that of course, but for that price you could have a good DD or fix it up for a drag only...OR you could get more mods for your ls1 too. the lt1 is not a bad way to go and only needs a few boltons to really wake it up and have it keeping up with stock or slightly modifed ls1s. peace.

tranny might be a PITA aslong as the cars straight the chassis is fine it should be ok. can you haggle down the price ?

curlytoesZ28

no i doubt i can haggle him down because thats wut he owes on it still all the pannels are lined up btw, ill try and gets a few pics and post em up tomorow afternoon

the LT1 is a pretty swt car, i have also been thinking about going with just mods for my car, but what can i say ima camaro fanatic , but this guys car hangs almost exactaly next to my car till around 65ish, without the LTs and chip, he ran a 9.35ish in our local 8th mile and its an aweful track

LT1s are nice. Just seems like its more of a headache than its worth. Sounds like you're buying an expensive paint job and tranny fix. I would spend it on the LS1.

if i had the extra cash i would pick one up as a dd

My thoughts exactly Not putting down the lt1 but it sounded like you were buying some one elses problems.

The LT1 is a pretty sweet engine. Biggest downfall is the stock POS exhaust manifolds. Going to LT's and an O/R Y will yield close to 30rwhp.

I say buy it

Ask in the LT1 section.

curlytoesZ28

alright guys thanx for the advice, but i think im going to just buy some LTs and maybe a few other goodies

To me the biggest prob with an LT1 is POS optispark. The rear plugs are a MAJOR PIA to change too

Getting harder and harder to find nice LT1's for a decent price, for the small price difference your better off getting an early LS1

The LS pretty much covers all the problems that the LT had. That's why I got one.

The Opti < crap - The shaft driven water pump < crap - spart plug placement < wtf? - plug wire replacement < I rather get kicked in the sack

There are a few other minor things, but that covers the most annoying ones.

yea for 2500 i would say tell him 1750 cash and its a deal and then it might be worth it, cause what if you have to end up dumping 1500 into the tranny then your sitting at 3250, which is what a car like that would go for in complete working order, not to mention the side's arent even painted. and with 96k mile that is still fairly low for a 94.
