Hi chaps, thought it was about time I posted some progress on here.
Last year I sold my V8 coupe project as it had reached tipping point and was just too far gone for me to see the finishing line.
It has lived on in parts, the bare shell went to QuattroDan who ironically also bought my S2 from me about 6 years ago now. The engine and turbo parts went to Add who is cracking on at a fair pace getting it all put together in a fresh shell. Looking forward to seeing it running. Pretty much every last useful part of the car has been sold on to be used in other projects, and I made enough back to buy something else to tinker with in the garage. I've 2 kids under 4 now so don't have time for a full on project, but plenty to get stuck into on this.
It's Difts old car, and I believe has been owned by a few others on here.
Current set up is RS2 turbo, Wagner manifold, Bosch big green injectors and prj stage 3 software on AAN ecu. It goes pretty well to be fair, but theres a few bits that let it down and stop it being enjoyed properly.
I think most of it is down to the car having been stood dormant for some time.
Biggest issues were the exhaust, which was completely rotten from the cat/downpipe flange back, and the suspension, which was quite barge like.
I have a 3" downpipe which im currently fitting and will be making a suitable system for, and the front suspension is getting an over haul with new arms, bushes and shocks throughout.
