well considering the b5 chassis has a newer suspension system than the typ89, it makes sense and it is understandable. I guess you have a lot more experience than me too considering youve been on the ring
haha dont get me wrong, im also keeping the $h!t box as well. I still think typ89 chassis audis with both the b3 and b4 front end are the sexiest audis. And the i5 t makes them even sexier.
imagine a brand new s5 with an rs2 motor tuned for 400hp. I like the Audi v8, but I like the i5 that much more-1990 7A coupe (US)

well pretty much what I figured....S2 (RS2 power) would have more personality - better I5 sounds...but inferior handling, etc. As common sense should dictate, I guess it would literally be an in-between in terms of everything - personality, handling, creature comforts, etc compared to my current line up - the '01 S4 and '84 ur-quattro with 3B (somewhat RS2'd). As cool as it would be I'm thinking it will not be worth the time/effort/expense of making an S2/RS2 sedan out of 90q (here in the USA). Thanks for input guys-

While ultimately you have decided not to make RS2 out of a 90, I always wonder why guys in the US never arrange to buy a LHD S2 or RS2 in Germany, ( complete with electronic Air Con / Climate Control ) and arrange to have it shipped in a container to the US, rather than go to the trouble and expense of replicating one from a B3/B4 and the ANN engine from an S4.
Is it the shipping cost or restrictions by the Authorities on the importation and use of such a car in the US. Type approval.
Just curious.

Say post # 93 approx.
If only I could help myself on other fronts ?

Yeah - imporation would be a huge hassle. Doing a swap on a 90q wouldn't be _that _ big a deal seeing as how i've been through the drill with my ur-quattro. Don't get me wrong - it really would be _such_ a cool car - nice black '95 90q with black sport leather, newer 3-spoke airbag wheel from A4/S4, bigger brakes, biggers wheels (think Avus or 16 x 8 Fuchs from Ur S car), S2 front valence/bumper (I acrtaullyliekthe S2 more than RS2 bumper/valence) and an RS2'D AAN. I actually do think it would be reliable - as it would need to be b/c we're talking daily driver - but after all that I end up with a daily driver that has inferior handling, creature comforts, lighting, and interior design compared to the S4. Yes it would sound better - might be as fast - but certainly with more drama and it would have more "soul" - but I already have lots of soul and sound with the urq. Doing all that work for sound and soul with the compromises just not worth it right now. If I didn't have the urq w/ 3B that would be a different story tho....
Anyway thanks all for the thoughts - fun stuff.
