AAN Powered 80q

[Vorsprung durch Technik]

Nice looking car.They look like my old seats i sold as i found same but platinum.Your not the farm worker i sold them too re you??

[Jolfa]

That is a Cab bumper (same as B3 Coupe) with pretty much the entire plastic frame removed to house the cooler, don't have any pics, just trial and error and some creative angle grinding

The seats came from Scotland via eBay, don't know where they came from originally before that!

I'll take some up to date pics when I get back, it now has the competition rear spoiler and S2 rear bumper. Bit the bullet and bought the replica extentions off eBay, which fit like ****, horrible waste of money, they're not cheap!

What are the wheels? Pro Race 3?

[sam80quattro]

No, but companies make compatible rotors to use Girling 60s with 4x108

yeah audi 90q 20v had g60's as standard, or atleast mine did

Hi mate where abouts are you if you don't mind me asking? Only reason I ask is the fishing boat in the 5th picture is registered as FH... which unless I'm mistaken is Falmouth?

Thanks for the info mate!

Plenty of pics is always a good thing!

[Jolfa]

Black Diamond really struggled to find the correct rotors for me, there's very slight differences between V6/20v/80/90/Coupe, got there in the end though

And yep that's a Falmouth boat, I'm in a little village near Helston, are you local?

And yeah, Pro Race 3, poor mans Compomotives

[cadiddy]

Yeah, over in leedstown just up the road from hayle, my missus lives in helston, suprised i've never seen your car around tbh

[Jolfa]

Nah you wouldn't have, I live the **** end of nowhere and only ever drive out in that car maybe once a week

Since my last update -

The new rear cosmetic bits




Then since the MOT expired I thought it was the ideal time to RS2 it



There's always one pain in the **** manifold nut, took an hour to drill that sodding thing!




Standard S2 vs RS2 manifold pic



Bought the wrong turbo twice trying to do it cheap, then bought the right turbo, then found a better one and sold the right one




Bought the wrong exhaust meant for a B4 which goes under the subframe, B3 goes over, so sick of buying the wrong stuff I just made it right!






Put the grinder in my leg grinding welds down (not for the first time) I'll spare you the pics

Started putting it back together



And that's where we're up to for now, waiting on the new turbo and a few other little bits and bobs in the post

Looking good so far. Remember brake upgrades if you haven't addressed them yet. Get the ground leg pics up as well.

What is the advantage of this IM for Dahlback?

[Jolfa]

Means I can have the radiator where it's meant to be, and it say "racing" on it so it makes it really fast

Standard RS2 VS S2 turbo pic



Had to start modifying tools to fit the bloody thing!



Got it mostly back together



That inlet was a nightmare to fit as the throttle fouled the power steering pump so I had to make an adapter, which left very little room for radiator hoses!



Did a bit of subtle beautifying...





And now I'm just waiting for my ECU back from Estonia, some coolant and some petrol!



...Then clutch and MOT
