Plan is for some white 17" alloys, decent set of shocks/springs or even coil overs, coupe panel, clear rear light clusters, clear side repeaters, side spats, get the scratches and scrapes sorted out, then onto the engine, apexi induction kit, decent manifold, ss exhaust and a chipped ecu if i can afford it... cant wait to get cracking !
Will go off and have a read of all the various dohc engine sites but I'm sure I will be on here asking loads of questions! Oh and if any one has any of the bits im after give me a shout!
A friend pointed out to him that it wasnt a v-tec and all he got back was "sorry mate we cant all be anoraks".. Still for a sunday car its a great price!

Yup. we only drive auto boxes in my house- very long story. But I had one of these a few years back and it got pinched 4 weeks after I bought it and wrapped around a lampost. Have been looking for another one for absolutely ages!
Was watchin that matey, i'v got same car in a manual
Good to see another 416gti on RT, even if it is an auto , will be watching your modding with great interest, my plans are roughly the same, though due to my wank3r insurance company i cant lower it without paying something near 2k
Cant be many of those around now. I remember before i bought my 416gsi i was looking at one of those in green. Unfortunatly the seller wouldnt shift on the price.
Audi B6 S4 Avant
Rover 221 coupe turbo 255.5bhp & 256.1lbs/ft (in the garage)
Rover 214 Mk3 Turbo Conversion (in bits)
Rover 416 GSi (in the garden)
I bought one in 2002 I think, didnt have it long before it was pinched but it left such an impression that a couple of us have been searching for one ever since! This one has a few too many miles for my liking but I'l get the usual things lik cambelt etc done and I am sure it will do another 100k without many probs!
I have a sohc d16 216 at the moment and just wanted a bit more power.. do you think with the right exhaust/ induction/ ecu it could get up to 150 BHP?
yea with the right equip its obtainable, few guys over on the crx forum are getting 150-160 and running high 14's low 15's with induction exhaust and ecu, plus putting there cars on a bit of a diet
I saw a 416gti somewhere the other day (nice and precise), I can't remeber seeing one before, but didn't realise they were rare. I didn't even know they did a GTI auto!

Looks a minter! Not sure about 17'' white wheels though!

Indeed wont get anywhere near that with an auto 416 though!

Do you mean that it wont get anywhere near the high 14 low 15s bit or it wont get anywhere near 150 bhp? The only bit im interested in is the bhp figure!
I'm still in two minds about white wheels, but as it wont be a daily driver I can do something a bit different with it!

That 420 looks really good! Have you got any more pics?
nah the box will stay as it is.. totally uninterested in the quarter mile times, just wanted something a bit rare that had a bit more oomph
As for wheels I had 17's on my 216 until very recently...
and this thing is used every day- In the end I got fed up and picked up some coupe vvc alloys for peanuts off ebay.. but I have to admit I miss the way the straights filled out the arch..
Oh and the 416 gti will get a quad exit exhaust as well but they sure as hell wont stick out as much as the ones on my 216
That 416 looks really good. think I may need to pick up a Laguna splitter!
yup thats me- the brakes were a massive improvement over standard, and thats with oem pads, she'l get some EBC or Black diamond pads at the next service, not sure which ones to go for but thats a whole other debate..

lots of 216gti's about but hardly any 416's
