Projekt Alpinweiss - A few Pics

[Rusty]

A few pictures of the old girl.





Black plastic could have done with a little gel but other than that, she's celebrating her 20th birthday!

Lovely is she still stripped out?

Lovely is she still stripped out?

No, not since Nov 2012 - you can see the rear seats in the pic

It was my daily for 8 months, so I fitted it all back in along with a new alarm, non AC heater box and a load of tidying up on the wiring etc. Also solved the leaks on the doors / seals and fitted replacement sound deadening... Was a week of hard work.

I think if it was all stripped out with the RS2 setup on it, it'd be rather rapid. 100Kg less tends to do that.

Looks awesome
Are you going to ADI Andy?

[Cottis]

Yep, that looks the business in White with Black wheels. Don't normally like black wheels but against that brilliant white, I am prepared to make an exception.

[Rusty]

They're a really dark grey rather than black

Yes, ADI is in the diary. Got to get the offset front subframe bushes on, the V2 offset topmounts and then get it all tracked up. A048Rs are on the OZs and the brakes have new fluid and bleed nipples too. Only other thing I might do is modify the difflock switch to disable the ABS and then fit a brake bias valve but that's not really something I want to do until I do an open pitlane track day, as ADI's stupid sessions allow for no option to pop in to the pits, make a change and go back out. TBH, if it wasn't the Audi day, there's 0% chance I'd consider doing a track day that's organised with the only aim of making money. Remember the S2 Forum session last year? What was it, 5 laps for £40 each?

Other than that, it's just a spanner check and brake pad check, then she's good to go.

Engine is with Aelred, so when he has time, that will get started.

Yer the session I went out with Sonic was outlap + 4 laps

[Ruffiano]

Beauty!

Looks great. I really like the BBS, I knew i should have painted mine a bit darker!

[Jack4688]

The BBSs look so much better on your car than my tired old Avant Glad to see you've got them on now

[s2driveruk]

looking good Sir Casey - what springs you riding on at the moment, she has a nice stance on them

[newsh]

Lookin good

[andy10v]

She is looking very smart, I like the new wheels!

[rynaqui]

She's looking great Andy! The wheels look sweet in that grey colour but not so fond of the black badges personally otherwise

[Rusty]

Cheers Jack, I'm pleased with them, just took a while to sort the stud conversion. Will get them balanced up when I put the track wheels on and then just need to see how the summer rubber cooes in the winter! May swap to Uniroyals, as they're excellent on the family Clios and seem to be impervious to wet weather, although the sidewalls are soft.

Plain old Coupe HnRs on there, hence why the bum looks low. The V2 top mounts will drop the front 5+mm, so should be perfic. I may offer some raised rear mounts for the coupe to address exactly this problem.

Black badges were as a result of the terrible state of the originals, so are a big improvement on those If I get some parts from Audi Tradition, I'll get some proper badges...

Only thing I'd like now is an RS2 style grille.
