Decision time

[Acidburn]

my recommendation would have been to buy Dest's Avant, not change the outside at all, change to black dash, do the brakes, ARBs, suspension, and bushes if any are necessary, sell the Coupe and all its spare bits, and use the additional funds to

RS2 Airbox and paper filter

GT2871 or GT3071

Wagner front manifold

Bigger than RS2 intercooler

Upgraded head

034 5 individual coil packs mounted outside the head

Standard S2 cams

New rings

Decent rods

Bottom end freshen up - ( if going mad go to 2.5L )

3b flywheel and clutch to match a 3071

Decent exhaust manifold to match turbo

Decent down-pipe

And all of the incidental parts / things that will be necessary when doing the above, and enough money for petrol to drive it every single day, and it just looks like a nice Audi "Estate".

BTW, forget LHD for the UK, and forget retro fitting LHD electronic A/c.

Not withstanding all of the above, ( fantasy / dream ), good luck with you chosen course.

Kind regards.


p.s. you can tell which way I voted !

Yup, problem is from the front my coupe looks the same as dests car and i've had that look for a year now so a bit bored with it, thats why I wanted the rs2 bumpers etc and spent ages looking for the under headlight trims.

I'm glad to stick with the coupe tbh as I am sticking with the dizzy and going for big power on it after speaking to a couple of people who have been there and done that
