Ok, I'm driving the Avant and enjoying it so it seems like after all these years its maybe time for the coupe to go. Believe me I've spent a lot of time thinking about this, its quite complicated because I've done so much to the car and because it has so many expensive bits on it. There's no way I could ever get back what I've put into it but thats not really the point.. Its also probable that the car is worth more if I break it or put it back to stock (apart from engine internals etc) and sell off the upgrades..
This car is quick and has beaten some serious cars including RS4s around Castle Combe but is still very drivable and has been my daily driver since 2004. Most of the mechanical work has been carried out by Pete Berry at White Cottage Quattros.
Not dynoed in present state of tune but IRO 400BHP running around 2Bar. After the last mapping session Mihnea deemed it worthy of an MRC sticker
Car is a 1992 3B
Refurbished head
RS2 mains, rod bearings and head gasket
New rings
SPM rods
RS2 In and Ex manifolds
RS2 Airbox
Massive Intercooler.
Samco Silicon Hoses
034 full 3" System
Garrett GT3071 turbo
Custom mapped my Mihnea at MRC
6 speed box
Spec stage 3+ carbon disc clutch (really strong but easy in traffic, brilliant)
Porsche Monoblock Brakes, A8 discs, Martinjs brackets, DS2500 pads
Full black leather with heated seats
Blue Plasma gauges
All sensors replaced including MAF
Full front end respray.
8.5 x 18 BBS with Goodyear F1 Assymetrics
Konis and stock springs (great in the wet..)
Catch tank
Aero Wipers
More stuff I've forgotten I'm sure
There's some damage to the front bumper.
The sunroof frame is rusty (a replacement sunroof will be supplied)
Intercooler has a dent in the bottom but does not leak.
A little rust on the driver's side rear arch.
Rubber strips on bottom of doors need replacing.
I figure there's a £3,000 S2 there with about 20k worth of mods on it over the years (there's denial for you
) or say 6-8k in parts and engine work.
Looking for £6k. I think it would break my heart to tear this car to bits
Project thread below has some good pics of the car and engine bay..
