My 1993 ABY S2 Coupe - Bought & Owned since 1994

[Le S2 Audi]

cheap isnt always good seen some very bad results from so called body shops using heavy compounds and creating more damage and swirls

Andy,

Shes already been done and looks superb M8....

They came highly recomended by my mechanic and they are an approved Insurance repairer...

'Approved Insurance Repairer' - Doesn't that just mean they are better skilled at doing work for minimum cost / max profit... As opposed to maximum quality and reasonable profit ?

Sorry that is a bit harsh but you do hear some horror stories... sounds like a happy customer here though.

I tried to contact Darren when I wanted to put it back on the road but his number must have changed... Hardly surprising after 7 years....

I knew his brother had one as he told me... That was when he had that G60 he used to race in yellow... Then went onto bikes....

I also bought a Golf MKII GTI from him... Loved that car!!!

That must have been when I had new disc's & pads fitted just before I laid it up due to the oil leak.... speeding fines & sheer cost of spares... How things have changed..

How is he? Whats he up to now? Tell him I was asking after him - Plz

He's still doing the samed old thing. I'll tell him you were after him. I've sent you a PM with his number.

Cheers

I know what you mean... I have had run in's with these type of peeps before....BUT my mechanic is known for being rather piccy about where he gets his cars painted... And he uses them....

Wait till you see her finished!!

Always good to see another s2 getting some love and attention.
Did you grind a few mm off the guide pegs on the calipers?

Looking really good!
Did you put any threadlock on the 4 mounting bolts?

[Le S2 Audi]

Yes to both....

Can't wait to get her on the road now!!!

What size discs did you go for? 323's or 314's?

Thought I listed them Guess not...

I went for the Zimmerman 323mm option (GSF about £110.00 Plus vat! Per set)....

Seen as I have now have the 18" A8 Mk2 Avus Wheels...

I gather the 323 wont fit with the 16" Wheels.

I think they do fit, but its VERY tight, ie you cant even have any weights on the inner rim!

Are you sure...

I thought I had read a thread that said with the 996 Caliper, Mount & 323mm disk they actualy rubbed on the wheel when used with the Avus 16"...

But I could be wrong! (wouldn't be the first time...)

[Jamo]

Some claim they will fit, I wouldn't risk it, the tolerances just aren't there for thermal expansion.

She' Back Yiiiiiiiiiippppppppppeeeeeeeeeeee

Does anyone know if or how to clean up the inside of the foglamps.....

As thet are looking sha66ed when seen next to he new clear indicator's!!

[s2_bo]

Looks good! are you happy with the new paint job?

You should be able to remove the glass from the lamps to clean it, although the seals may fall apart if they are rotten.
