    The chance is very slim for two RS2s to get together in the Far East Asia..

    But we seized the chance!

    In South Korea, only two RS2s are known to exist. In fact, I think these RS2s are the only B4 Audis running around here.

    We knew each other for some time, but it was first time to actually have a good run together. The main reason for not having a good time was that my car was rarely in a good condition to drive fast . Now, after TFSI coil conversion with red-top coil pack, my car is running strong again. (the original wiring loom was a total mess)

    Two RS2s, 1994 blue and 1995 green, flanked by an RS6 and a S3..


    If you spot two RS2s together in South Korea, this is your day!


    His RS2 (1994 RS Blau) is chipped and uses 2 bar, but he doesn't know the horsepower.

    Mine is a frankenstein with parts sourced from here and there.. Uses 1.5 bar and last time I checked, it dynoed around 330 horsepower at the wheel. On the same dyno, my other car, a Lexus ISF, recorded 350 horses (Advertised engine horsepower is 423), so, I think my car has about hair less than 400 horsepower.





    It was really nice drive for a 150 km round trip, cruising around 200-230 km/h. I was really happy that my car held up so well.

    Also, it was interesting that we did a side-by-side pull (from 60 km/h at the second gear) and accelerated abreast to about 270 km/h. Maybe with a help from prj in the future, I would outrun him someday

    I thank all of you in S2 forum who contributed tips and advices for me to get my car straight. My car is not perfect (maybe never will), but I am grateful that I have a RS2.

    Or the Lexus just doesn't have the power the car maker claims it has, like many newer (non turbo) Audi's as well.

    Cool to have a car that rare over there

      In addition, the Lexus is RWD, so lower drivetrain losses than the RS2. In other words, the RS2 likely has more flywheel hp than the Lexus, and likely much more torque, so a fatter power curve.
      I guess the RS2 is quite a bit faster than the Lexus?

      BTW, the wheel camber angles on the blue RS2 look pretty messed up?

        It's probably the photo that's making the weird angle. It doesn't look that way in person.
        He has 9-inch wide wheels (don't know the offset) and the wheel sticks out of the fenders. Not my cup of tea, but that's his taste.
        As for the Lexus, it "feels" faster than RS2 at 250+ km/h, but I didn't actually do any comparisons.

          Always loved those wheels

          Do you still have a set for sale?
