My URS6 Plus Speck Saloon

[Vorsprung durch Technik]

Bit of an update. Due to the way the front of the car was looking due to a terrible previous paint job that had deteriorated further by crazing on the front wing tops i had no choice but to bite the bullet and get the bad bits rectified which were as it stood the whole front of the car and the rear bumper. This quickly once i was in the painters company up in Birmingham turned into, from me, exploring about getting the whole car done. Although the rest of the car looked good from 10ft away, every panel had some sort of paint chip, scratch or as in the case of the boot lid leading rear edge a nice little annoying dent. These defects bothered me so the decision was taken to paint the whole car except the roof.That will be done later with the extra paint they've mixed as part of the whole batch so i'll get a perfect match.



So,.........I received these pics from the painters. Some bumper rectification due to the spider cracks in the paint.

Excellent, after 17 years I finally have a handbrake that works on 3 clicks, it is a slightly bizarre experience

Just a wee update, she has a new mot certificate a couple weeks ago so very pleased after too long a lay up and before any bright spark checks the mot history it's actually a little out! Ive covered 116 since the last MOT and not the 16 he's put down.


Decided to completely rebuild the rear brakes so it matches the newly rebuilt subframes and suspension to come. Callipers were sent of the Big Red for the Luxury rebuild. Discs didn't come like that so sprayed them with what Halfrauds call Very High Temperature Paint which works very well so far. It's so nice to have a perfect handbrake again only 3 clicks to fully tight. Happy days.

Dave has a load of info on the exhaust manifold studs here

IM fits with allen bolts, you can re-use them.

[newsh]

You can use normal 20v studs and shorten as needed although IIRC the Wagner doesn't actually need short ones? I know the Wagner was way easier to fit than the RS2 manifold, all the nuts are much easier to get to.

[macspring]

Presumably a set of RS2 exhaust studs should be the ones you'll need ?

Others will know more though.

[Vorsprung durch Technik]

Fingers crossed i've got some time to get on with this.

I can't seam to find the part numbers for the inlet and exhaust studs i need. I need standard for the AAN IM but will need the shorter exhaust stud for the wagner manifold i believe manifold pictured below. Any suggestions on spec,type and where's best to buy them? Cheers.
