ABY Coupe-S2 saloon-what other parts?

[andy10v]

Starting with an ABY coupe and a b4 80 v6 quattro what other parts would be required to make an s2 saloon?

Avant rear bumper
Avant sideskirts
Battery tray in boot

Are the rear drive shafts the same? (would the diff flanges need swapped?)
Is the rear suspension the same? (shock diameter etc)

[Rusty]

Rear suspension and drivetrain are all different - you'll need to get the parts off a donor Avant

[spink]

If you are using the aby box I believe you will have to fit a rear diff from an s2 avant as the final drive on a v6 is 3:89 or similar (aby is 4:11)

[Mikes2]

If I read correctly he has a 80 quattro B4 and the running gear from a ABY Coupe to fit to it.

it depends how authentic the saloon is going to be but the rear suspension will not need to be changed. Just the 5 stud hubs will need swapped over

Suspension

Hi mate


Soeey my long twisty way of saying

On my Audi 80 Avant Quattro, i found the following

The front bearing housings will accept the S2 hubs......wheel bearing the same, at the rear i used the S2 Avant rear hubs( wbearings the same as S2) they mated to the V6 shafts with no issues........I will be lowing her 40 mm all round later

Body wise i say you need the bumpers at rear from S2 Avant.......your ABY front bumper, Avant side skirts( nice water traps)

And someone to swop over your engine mounts ..............alittle welding then you sorted( after changing engine looms , battery boxs etc) etc

AND PLEASE photo your progress......................
Cheers

[spink]

rear diffs from coupe and saloon are not interchangeable

[djh]

s2 avant for the following:

doors (middle trim different)
sideskirts
rear bumper
rear suspension (diff/shafts/prop)
exhaust unless going aftermarket
carbon/doorcards/interior (rear seats need modding)
hubs

aby coupe:

engine/loom/ecu/intercooler/crossmember
steering wheel
gearbox/linkage/front shafts/front subframe/front shocks/springs/brakes


from either:

badges
dash
clocks/dials
front bumper
headlights

As THE PROJECT CAR, is a quattro already.............as same as Avant S2 suspension ...........need to change subframe( V6 hwas extra bracing welded from factory, )...........the S2 struts have bigger dia shocks in them ...better go for those.............if you go for 6 speed change front drive shafts/ gearlinkages and gearlever............rear diff and prop from ABY S2 AVANT.......change to 5 whole/S2 discs front/rear

exhaust.........from S2 Avant...or aftermarket
clocks and engine wiring loom/ecu

anything else i can think off i pop up

cheers

Rusty is right, the coupe is very different from the A-pillar back.

If it was me I'd start with an S2 avant and a B4q saloon, then you have everything you need - simples.
Plus avants are cheaper than coupes at the minute.. until they run out

+1 thats true¡

S2 Avant side skirts are the same as the audi 80 competition??

Between the b4 80q and the s2 avant/saloon?

Cheers, I had forgot about that, would the s2 rear diff fit in the 80 casing if the crown wheel was swapped?

If I read correctly he has a 80 quattro B4 and the running gear from a ABY Coupe to fit to it.

I have acquired an ABY coupe and always wanted an S2 saloon so just seing if it would make sense

Hey Mate

That is good to know about the driveshafts, I would just cut the mounts out the aby and weld them in, hopefully and battery box could be cut out the firewall in one piece for the boot.

The v6 subframe could be modded easily enough.

[andy10v]

It is just sounding out the idea at the moment, and very helpful getting things pointed out now. I will get the coupe in for a MOT first and see what the engine and box is like. An avant would be better but I have a coupe!

Plan would be;
swap basically everything at the front end from the ABY coupe on the 80
hybrid the prop
swap diff rear internals if possible
swap rear hubs
ghetto weld the exhaust up from the two cars

Then buy the s2 avant bumper etc when they come up for sale.

djh-What is the difference between the 80q and s2 saloon dash and also the rear seats?

[Error404]

Cheers, I had forgot about that, would the s2 rear diff fit in the 80 casing if the crown wheel was swapped?

Yes it will fit, but it won't help you
Its the crown wheel and pinion ratio that is different in the V6 gearbox and diffs

********, and I take it that the pinion is a different length? Is there any way to hybrid them?
