RS2'ed 7A US Spec Coupe project thread

[newsh]

Joe, is it an original RS2 motor with RS2 cams etc?

[Ruffiano]

I like the cup holder pieces.

lol one of the very few US only parts the euro people are jealous of! also the pad on the center console and the carpet cover piece for the 80/90 sedans

[Jamo]

Are they a US part are they? Vagparts used to sell them well now I'm spending the night with KATE

i have the cup holders in my avant, so they are not us only, it was an option.
i think you can still get them from dealers .

[driftin jo]

O and for what it's worth they are crap as they are totally in the wrong position to put a cup, you bash into your cup all the time and it is not easy to pick you cup up out of them.

The casette holder option on the other hand is the perfect addition for any technology conscious motorist

To David In Dublin...

Bigger Photos are excellent to show off all your hard work. Looking good.

Seeing that you've put some much effort into the car, you might be thinking of finding second hand Recaros from Mk 2 golf or Jetta, and recovering them with black leather ?

Alternatively, find a second hand set of urS6 sport front seats in black leather, or sport black leather seats from a B4 Cabrio in the breakers? Just make they fit yourself as regards height, they may sit slightly higher in a B4, especially with a sun roof ?

Seats from an S8 ? Not sure if they fit, but nice enough and fully electric ?

In the engine bay maybe use a black plastic pipe leading to the throttle body, in my mind it absorbs less heat than a metal one ?

Rear aero wiper ?

Kind regards.

Thanks for your comments. I would like to find some RS2 recaro seats or some S2 equivelant recaros. THey must be heated and powered.

THe Urs4 seats will not fit in a B3/B4 chassis. The seat rails are way too wide.

I had a plastic Rs2 boost pipe. It cracked and I went to the metal pipe. I like durability is some areas.

WHat does are Aero wiper look like? Any pics?

To cab9fab....

Joe,

Nice to see you got a correct width head unit in there now. Looks 100% better, even if there is no in-dash CD. I see you replaced the dash with one that wasn't cut for the old head unit.

I used a similar head unit in my conversion, and typically just use my ipod with FM modulator.

Yes,I replaced the entire dash with a newer 1995 B4 90 dash. It was nessessary in order to do the passenger side airbag installation. Plus it gives me the bolstered glovebox which conforms to the passenger door card map pocket.

I know how to install that wide dash Concert 2 CD player now. I found a site that shows how to modify the faceplate width to fit the dash. Someday I will get that project done.

To A1Qship.....

Subscribed! Well done. Do you have the remote key from the B4 working? Do you have pictures of where the battery cable is routed in the cabin & comes out of the frame rail near the starter/alternator? I am in the process of doing exactly what you have done. I have been collecting parts for years & completely parted out a '95 90S sedan for parts but neglected to get the ABS bracket before sending the shell to the crusher Oh well, I will find another one to part out. Still need black carpet.

Thanks! Yes, the B4 keyless is awesome. Works perfectly and transfers in nicely. Only had to make 18 inch extensions to the wires going up the B pillar. everything else is plugs in directly. The pump/controler is located in the little cubby just in front of the plastic tub in the far right rear of the trunk.

I have some photos of the cable route but I cant find them. I will snap one later and post it for you.

I did the same thing as you. I gathered the parts over years and waited till I was ready to do it.

Joe, is it an original RS2 motor with RS2 cams etc?

The motor is...

AAN block
AAN head with 7A cams
ADU Intake mani
ADU Exhaust mani
ADU RS2 turbo


I like the cup holders, howver they are a bit if a pain to use. Kinda awkward in their functionality when driving.

Brilliant, I bet it goes really well

I use the middle tray when I'm on a long drive and buy a garage capuccino, trouble is if you accelerate too hard the coffee ends up in the back..

Acp,

An Aero wiper is the "floppy" style of wiper on more recent / new cars. I have Avants, so not sure which "new" car will give you the correct one for a Coupe.

Someone else should know on here and will post the relevant details, maybe even with a photo.

Kind regards.

[newsh]

I think my Coupe Aeros are from a Lupo. If you get them set up right you can hardly see them from the front when parked

Aero Wipers

Here you go Joe. Aeros on coupe, normals on avant
