Project Rs2

[ridgeracer]

how are you going to be fitting this set up to the rear struts any pics.looks the mutts nuts so far

i will weld on mounting posts on the oposite side of the rear brake caliper, above the ABS sensor..

[ridgeracer]

interesting. are you running BMW spindles and wheels? They are 5x120 PCD.
Also, I'm curious why you'd use a second heavy 4-pot on the rear for a hydraulic handbrake. If you set up a hydraulic handbrake properly with it's own master cylinder and reservoir, there should be no reason you couldn't settle with only one caliper. Having two calipers that big adds a lot of unsprung weight (but then again, you've got 19x9.5" wheels )
I'm looking forward to seeing the overall progress of this project!

i welded the old 5x130 holes and redrilled the spindles 5x120.
i agree with you on the light monopot caliper, but i got the 6 months old cayenne calipers with pads for less than £ 80 so..
they are actually lighter than the old RS2 rears.. and i can remowe the old handbrake setup, so i dont put on that much extra weight, and i think it looks great

new innlet manifold..

and more..

Wow, that looks great!

Yeah it looks excellent, have you got any dimensional drawings?

Is this a dual plenum design too? how is it setup internally?

[Jeffer]

Very nice manifold. Looks great.

[Floppy]

wow manifold looks great indeed!

do you have room left for 1 big radiator?

btw: the air filter is at the right spot i think. There you can make air intake's ducts from the lower right intake if it's rs-2 bumper. And no problems with hot air from turbo etc. Nice!

Nice inlet manifold, but it will not fit with AC right?

[S2 Ant]

I reckon it might, it looks like there is a lot of room there!

[ridgeracer]

Wow, that looks great!

thanks Elijah

sorry, no drawings.. my first manifold so just trying out some stuff
used 90mm alu tubes and parts of a used 3B inlet manifold.
no dual plenum yet, welded, smoothed and polished the internals..
the main reason for building it was to change the intake position

hi Floppy
im building a new radiator with more volume than the original. lower in height, but much thicker.

i,m not sure, but i think it will fit.. maybe the AC radiator is a bit too tall ..?
