Ruby Red Audi S2 Avant

[andy10v]

I am up for a meet now the S2 is on the road again, I am sure Martin, Campbell and Eddy etc can be persuaded.

[geneandbolly]

yup, i'd be up for that and i'm sure that some of the classic audi chaps would too . .

[Michael S2]

The back seats were folded down and my mountain bike was in the back, so its not too rattly considering. A Scottish meet would be good in the next month or two.

Just managed over 300 miles to a tank. Not bad after some fast driving last night.

When's the next Scottish meet can't wait to see your S2 Michael sounds very nice no rattles etc nice ride you've got

Avant movie

Not posted much recently (must mean everything is well with the S2 )

Anyway, rather than me drinking beer tonight, i thought i'd let the car drink some Ultimate petrol instead. Always wanted to make an S2 film, so i put a few clips together. I could do with a camera man and also my battery doesn't last long recording HD.

Cheers bud, still running great.

Just been to asda before starting work and not in the best of moods. When a random guy shouts "classic car there mate" as i was putting bags in my car. Cheered me up a bit

It does put a smile on your face when people comment on your car, I was parking up in legoland last week when a guy starting pointing and shouting , I opened the door to see him running over screaming " no way did you know you have Porsche wheels on your audi" lol I really wanted to say thieving *******s I just bought new wheel caps for it , even my wife smiled lol

It happened to me once in my UR, in a McDonalds car park- I was grinning for hours

[geneandbolly]

it makes all the fixed faults worthwhile, doesn't it!?

All bulbs working and nice and bright



I have loads of spare bulbs if anyone needs any.

200k miles, and still plenty of oil pressure, eh Mike

£360 seems crazy cheap!! I got my custom downpipe and sports cats from AAS on Bells Ind Est Newcastle highly recommended cost £800 if I remember correctly and mine has a super sound to it

[andy10v]

that seems rather steep, mike. i was quoted £360 for the s6 at this place plus the cost of the cat if so desired. simon does an excellent job and is far from being your typical dirty faced, expletive prone welder..

That would be insanely cheap for a turbo back including downpipe made from 3" mandrel bends.

He quoted me £550 for a turbo back 3" single box system, reusing part of the downpipe.

Stainless creations quoted £400-£600 for the exhaust, depending on the quality of the box wanted, and £200-£250 for the downpipe, so £850 for a proper one.

Cheers, is that a full system from turbo? That seems very cheap to me Tempting though
A Milltek cat-back is about £500 last time i checked. I already have the middle pipe/sport cat so i won't be paying the full whack anyway.

looks great, mike. what kind of money are they charging you for the exhaust?

Not sure yet... Probably about £800-£1000. I wouldn't go anywhere else for a custom exhaust though.
