My 1996 Silver ABY Coupe

Can’t wait to see this when it’s out in the sun. Worth a holiday down your neck of the woods to see it in the flesh!

Paintwork I’m sure is going to look stunning, particularly once you have detailed it. Which spec intrax suspension are you going with? I haven’t heard of any review on these.

Im excited for you buddy... Im building similar

Thank you Anton, I know how you feel! I miss it like mad.

I have to say Ryan I thought your S2 was immaculate before you doing a full paint job so it must look absolutely amazing once completed!! Looking forward to your updates

I do hope so too! I'm a bit nervous about the actual process of putting it together again. Will definitely be updating more often in the future .

Me too! It will be another 4-5 months I estimate by the time I get everything gathered, assembled properly. I do plan on doing a Euro trip in a year or two if everything goes well .

Thank you! Can't believe it's been so long already.

I haven't seen the car in the flesh yet but the painter knows how picky I am with paint so sure he has done a great job. Then anything I can fix I will do later.

Intrax I am likely to go with 1K2 with ARC (Anti roll control) and black titan to prevent corrosion. If I can stretch the budget I will go for 1K2XL, the XL basically is more responsive to the regular 1K2. From what I've read on other forums for Porsche/BMW, people seem to have had good results with Intrax and am hoping that by using soft springs and having the anti roll control, I can get a somewhat compliant ride whilst keeping things civilized in the bends

interested to hear what the pricing is like on the intrax. I couldn’t justify after just changing the front shocks but interesting to see options other than kw

my thoughts exactly...!

The specific model I want with all the extras is around 5,500 euro. Their entry levels start around 2-3k I believe. I couldn't get on with the KWs in my car

[rynaqui]

I've finally got my car back (almost). The interior still needs to be assembled and some electrics doing, minor stuff but waiting on people to get these jobs done. Some other minor jobs here and there as well such as light treatment on inner wheel wells but nothing major thus far.

Did have time to wash the car, underneath and out. Having the car home is already great, among the cars I'm working on as well. You can see the Recaro CSE in the car, they still need to be wired up properly. More details on interior will come once it is done. Just serviced the car today and will put new plugs tomorrow once I have a feeler gauge in hand.

Nice stable there! The black lower portion of the bumpers is class. Better than new!

[vonbeck]

lovely matey

[Fat Audi 80]

Nice Garage for a nice car!

[rynaqui]

Thank you guys, I'm using the car daily now, even though there is no interior. Just miss driving it too much not to use it. Hope to have more updates in the future to detail the project a bit more

[anthonys2]

Great stable for your S2 and a few other nice motors very nice mate

[rynaqui]

Thank you Anthony, it's been so good to have it back finally. Hope to have more work done soon
