    Bring it on, Buddy
    I'd love to go...but my good intentions to make a meet this year have so far not materialised so no rash promises yet, but I was planning a trip to Wales in the future anyway....

    and the S2 has just got thro' its MOT!

    (won't disclose how many advisories! )

          The 3mm washer is a diamond washer to add friction for the crank timing pully so not a good idea to remove it or replace it with a non diamond one

                  • Regretting having the middle box taken out already Over 3000rpm it sounds fantastic, but at lower revs it just drones and resembles the noise of a Honda civic!

                    Middle box will go back on at some stage.

                    • I know you don't want to hear it Mike but deleting an important part of your car,in this case
                      middle box,is only going to ruin a great car. OEM plus is the way to go.

                      • In my experience on multiple 5 pot Audi's incl. 20VT leaving the exhaust OEM but replacing the rear box with a stainless example is the best sound wise. No droning and a lovely 5 cylinder sound.

                          Just drive it everywhere over 3k then

                          On a serious note though, sometimes you just have to try these things. If you didn't do it you'd always wonder what it would sound like?
                          Good on ya for giving it a go.

                          • A full stainless larger bore system would be very nice!

                              Agreed with john here. Sometimes itching that scratch has to be done to make you realise things. I do it all the time

                              • When i had the full 3" stainless system made up from the turbo at the beginning of the year, i asked for them to leave the middle box out, but this got lost in translation somewhere. Ever since then i've wondered if it would sound better without the middle box.

                                Previoulsy i had no drone from the 3" system from turbo (with middle box). I get the fact some people like these cars to be silent stealth understated machines, but i just love the raw engine sound too much
