The reason for this madness...



Was this...



A full set of Milltek S/RS2 pipes, including downpipe and Cat... Goes in Wednesday morning to get them fitted... I really can't wait... Its like being 12 again...

Interesting one to note, I had these arrive yesterday, and fitted today. Proxes T1R's.



Now I've had a low rumble/vibration under hard acceletation for a while and have been quietly fearing the worst... Changed the front tyres today (minimum tread) and bingo... its gone... The rears have nearly new tread depth.

I"ve read a thread on here a while back where similar occurred...

Good to see she's doing well

[Ian Simmonds]

The old girl is doing well again today....

[rynaqui]

Good to hear

Last thing you would need is water seeping through to the coils and spark plugs area

[Ian Simmonds]

Well, the EFIExpress coils are pretty impervious to water... 30 miles in torrential rain back from Eastbourne today and an HGV bow wave so huge it covered the whole car at 60mph... Nasty weather out there.. But the old girl did fine... Brakes all appear good too, with plenty of feel to them and plenty of 'stop' too. Pads are a bit dusty, but I can live with that.

[Ian Simmonds]

Rear brakes are done, took my time with them, cleaning and wire brushing them right back, changed the boots, regreased, and freed everything up. Checked the handbrake cables and cleaned up all the mechanism...

So it looks like this now...:tup:

[Ian Simmonds]

Well, bit more love, beavered away at the brakes and front suspension earlier in the month...





Then had a go at sorting out the state of the Avus...



But the old girl looked like this at half five this evening...

[Ian Simmonds]

looking great Ian - if only we could get shot of this bloody hosepipe ban in Hants Drought my a%%

Our ban has been lifted, but they are fitting a water meter in a weeks time instead....

[Ian Simmonds]

Looking very nice Ian,your car photos always feature your audis in some wooded area just off the road,which leads me to conclusion that you know all the good dogging sites in west sussex!

Sadly Rob, the only dogging I do now involves a three mile walk and a slobbering collie...

[Ian Simmonds]

looking great Ian. looking after three cars sounds like hard work

Thanks Chris... Poor old S2 has been sold short recently so I'm making it up to her now...

[Ian Simmonds]

I always thought that was because i was coming at them faster than they expected

Nice to know there is an other emerald green one out there being cared for, out of interest what colour is your interior?

Ah, it's the 'quattro' graphite cloth interior with the *cough* wood....

[Ian Simmonds]

Ian, did you come over to the isle of man a year or two ago with a load of guys in UR's?

That's the one
