Bought RS2 turbo, ex manifold, intercooler, injectors ( new ) in 2004. Just fitted as part of engine rebuild. I was looking to the future and think I deserve a gold star for patience!

I've been trying to get my ***** together for ever!
I bought an lpg tumble dryer 10 years ago and it is in my spare room, palleted and wrapped still

heavy duty wgfv 7 years ago, floating around in the battery compartment.

Maybe tomorrow.

I have a set of French fog lights with yellow lenses for my 914. I have had them for 28 years. The stock clear lenses have always worked just fine, so I have never changed them. My Mom picked them up for me on one of her trips to Europe.

Think that gets the prize Greg. I have various boxes of bits for the S2 and the S4. The latter includes an RS4 RARB and both valve covers BNIB which I have had nearly three years - so I don't feel quite so bad now.

I'm just two years behind you with my RS2 upgrades for my UrS6. Been looking at them since 2006.

One of my all time favorite cars, always wanted one. Have you seen the price of them recently? ...might motivate you to put it back together.
