    Like what you are doing Brian and helping friends out is so important in life as you never know what the future may hold and if your circumstances changed then you know you have the backing of a good group of friends to help you out if necessary not enough good people in the world

      We are just a large group of friends that are all very passionate about Audi's.

      Nic is not as financially comfortable as the others in our group of friends so we have decided to club together just for the sheer kindness with no expect of a payback or anything in return.

      We have extended the question of good nature to the wider audience of the forum as there are many people that have upgraded their cars and sometimes just bin the standard items etc.

      No one is being forced into assisting in the quest but if you can thank you very much

      Afterall it's not about being noble it's just what good friends do!!!
      What does nick think about this ? I know you have offered to come and help me to complete my project but I have refused as I have said to you that its all part of the enjoyment to me ,yes I may be fortunate in that I have the space and in some cases the money but at times I have found it hard to make ends meet .I personally think that this could cause problems with members of this forum in the future as they may think that they to can hold out there hands and ask for parts for free .there is help in information and with obtaining parts at a reasonable price but a complete engine transplant for free this is a can of worms which you may have not wanted to open .From my own point of view what I have which is s2 related I will be keeping that may be being selfish but I work hard for what I have and I dont have many vices in life .

            I have since spoken to Nic, and he is humbled by the fact but is willing to contribute financially as much as he possibly can.

            I had no expectations of receiving anything to work with but have been blown away by the response.

            I like to think that I have done lots for people over the years just out of goodwill, it's nice that others are doing the same.

            The offer still stands with assistance with yours Phil. I know you said that it's your enjoyment but Audi's for me is a hobby too

              It's a sad time when people are questioning why you simply want to help a friend. For me this type of thing is what got me into vw / audis in the first place. The camaraderie and community was fantastic and at the time things like this were an everyday occurrence. Every weekend spent round at mates houses doing engine swaps / repairs / prepping for paint or simply just making the tea. For no other reason than it's your mates.

                Most of us love to help out fellow enthusiasts and I will happily provide a few surplus bits if I have them after I've finished mine, but I do understand where the negativity is coming from. I would quite like some EV14s, a GTX3071 and a Wagner reverse inlet PLS

                Brian I'll have a sort through my spares tomorrow, I think I have the following bits from your list which are surplus to requirements:

                AAN auto sump
                cam sensor
                crank sprocket
                mfts
                oil pick up pipe
                pistons
                rear crank seal housing
                rods with serviceble used bearings covered 111k miles
                tensioner/idler pulley
                oil thermostat housing (has a small hairline crack in it, could be welded up)
                thermostat housing
                green knock sensor
                timing belt cover

                              the world is pretty damaged when a want to make some one smile has to be justified with tragic circumstances.

                              i am currently building a huge community project based on karma or game theory for the ones who need an idear backed up with math and a nobel prize.

                              if no one has ever helped you pull your head from your rectum and tell us who you have helped
