    Bram's Ragusa green S2 Avant

    Hi! My name is Bram from Holland (The Netherlands). I am a moderator from the Dutch S2power.com website and we have a nice and fanatic group of i5 turbo owners here in Holland.

    Let's start with the compliments to this fantastic website. Until now I have been reading a lot of topics, learned a lot, but now it's time to contribute something as well :mischeif:

    I have a 1993 ABY S2 Avant in Ragusa Green, which was imported from Germany to Holland in 2001. It has a full leather interiour and carbon panels in the doors and on the dashboard. Before it was brought to it's first owner in Germany it was modified by MTM with a 270hp chip and H&R springs lowering the Avant with 30mm. Today it has 240K kilometers on it's clock, and still drives terrific!

    I bought this S2 Avant July 2006 from S2forum member Nero who brought this car into top-shape and after that I did the following upgrades until today:

    S2 non-airbag sports steer
    Red Brembo/Porsche 304mm brakes
    18" S8 Avus wheels
    replaced the old Audi 90 number plate holder with a fresh one
    New RS2 clutch, pressure plate, clutch pedal cylinders
    new powersteering pump
    new cam belt, water pump by 237K kilometer
    VDO turbo gauge in middle console
    partially rebuilt interiour into black RS2 colours

    I still have many upgrades in the planning, but this will take some time.
    When I have them installed I will show it in this thread.

    cheers!

    Bram

            Thank you. Yes, I have plans for a power upgrade, but I am not sure to go for a cheap RS2 360-370hp upgrade or directly buy a Garret 3071R and try for 400+ HP.
            For the last option I have to buy a lot of new things, while going RS2 I have more choice for second hand parts.

            It would be great to test drive both options and compare them, but i do not know anyone in Holland or Belgium with a 3071R setup.

                        Very nice and tidy Avant!

                        Go for a 3071r setup, or else you will regret and use even more money later on :mischeif:

                              That Avant looks brilliant on S8 alloys.

                              I have decided. I WANT S8 alloys. Anyone want to trade for a set of mint BBS's....
