(Is it S1E2 or S1E1 for the big winged monster?????)
I have been trawling the interwebs for the past month or so trying to find details on the Quattro Sport S1E2 rally cars. I like detail!!!! I have been trying to find details (and facts!) about all areas of these cars but the internet is full of websites that have clearly just copied and pasted info from elsewhere and pretty much just give top level info only. There appears to be more guesswork and misinformation on these cars than any other I have research
Anybody know exactly what gearbox these cars ran? I mean the standard manual box not the super-dooper dual clutch jobbie. Was it a standard unit with uprated internals (which model) or was it a custom Audi motorsport piece? It was 6 speed yes?
Same with the diff. Standard (model?) or one-off?
The engine was all alloy. Again, was this all based on production stuff (particularly the head) or was it motorsport specific castings (I have read info that appears to suggest the alloy blocks were from a small casting run of 40 'specials').
I have looked around for the homologation papers but cannot find any (don't really want to pay for them if I can avoid it).
Bear in mind here that I have not seen a Quattro (road or rally) in the flesh for 30 years as that is when I left the UK. I am at a total loss regarding the various model codes etc so try not to bamboozal me with jargon!!!!
Bought a few books lately but they have not arrived yet.
Also been investigating the costs of importing an 80 2 door and a Quattro (is that one called a 90???) into Australia to do a cut and shut build.
Any facts or directions to info sources gratefully appreciated.
