Audi RS2 -94 Swe

[Lago Blue]

Congratulations! Beautiful photos, it appears your crops are a month ahead of us. Rapeseed, one of humanity's oldest crops, apparently there are different types and the name for rapeseed comes from the Latin word rapum meaning turnip. Turnip, rutabaga, cabbage, Brussels sprouts (my favourite!), and mustard are related to rapeseed, who knew? We grow that here also (and another related one: canola), for the oil and for cattle feed:

BTW, are the 8 screws, which may be holding the blue bumper cover to the under-tray (or are they to attach a spoiler?), original parts of the stock arrangement? They look like a good idea.

Cheers!

Happy day! Car is through MOT "Besiktning". Now i have almost 15 months before i have to come back for inspection
Spotted a small coolant leak today, i will look in to it during the weekend. Now i will enjoy this victory for tonight and grab a beer.
Exhaust system is way to loud inside, but maybe i have a quick fix for that coming!

[Vorsprung durch Technik]

Nice, fingers crossed for tomorrow.

Started todays labour in the garage by mounting the noise insulation/air guide under the engine. It was not that hard work, many screws that holds it in place though. Tomorrow it is time for Swedish MOT, so i took the car out for a trip to bed in the brakes and check the car a little. First notice on the road is that the boost comes earlier than before (The cam timing was off and i had a wery bad idle last year). So now it feels like i found 100hp more. Otherwise all felt good, brakes nice, no vibrations. Only thing that is disturbing is my crappy built exhaust that some person before me built. It sounds way to much inside the car. Well, i will have to live with that some time until i build my own exhaust.
I will get back with the MOT result tomorrow, last time i failed due to high emissions (i think it was the cam timing/bad idle that made it not pass, according to Maxxecu wide band lambda it was running way to rich before i fixed the timing).

Undertray fitted (Special for RS2):

A while since last update. Christmas and new years celebrations took it's time and effort so not much time spent in the garage.
Well few days ago i collected the brake pads/brake scream pads for the calipers so i could start with the assembly of the brakes. Before i started with the brakes i had to change the front outer CV-joint rubber-boots. Left side was completely destroyed and right was on it's way, so that had to be done. I must say that im suprised how good the condition of bolts/subframe is on the car if i compare to how my UrS4 was. Today/yesterday i changed both rubber-boots in the front and mounted the rear discs/brake-calipers. Front discs and brake-calipers will be mounted soon i hope

Drive shaft with new rubber-boot:

Drive shaft inner fasteners cleaned, suprised with no rust..:

Rear discs and calipers fitted to the car:

I also need some dampers/anti-squeal parts, what size pistons do we have front and rear for the normal RS2 299mm & 304mm brakes? (I don’t have the 322mm Big Reds, just 304mm Reds, I saw them on a few PORSCHE websites, but I’m not sure what sizes I need.

Wow, your RS2 is looking beautiful, where is the cheapest place to buy front 304mm Sebro Drilled discs for an RS2 please. I really need some this week!

Cheapest i don't know. I bought mine from Autewo In Germany

[UUUdirs2newcastle]

Got some new parts (Exept for the old fog light) for the car today, also a set of drilled front brake discs and pads. Happy days with new parts
Fog lights and turn signals original Hella, will make the front end look so much better.

Your car should be in the Audi museum! Enjoy driving it

I don't know about that. Many things yet to be fixed if it should be worth Audi museum, full respray etc. But I'm happy with the looks for now. Thanks, hopefully there will be lots of driving this summer.

Finally some time spent in the garage and with the RS2!
Was a little bit nervous about the fitting/gluing of the door trims. But it was nothing to be nervous about, went well in the end!
Used tape to hold the glued pieces in place as the glue cured over night. Went to the garage today and took of the masking tape. Before the middle door trims was fitted to the car it was not that disturbing, but now with trims it looks so much better i think.
Now i just have to install the engine cover (under the car). Then it's time to book time for MOT.

Installed front piece with correct matte black paint lower end to blend in behind the mesh grill:

New clips mounted on the doors (for lower trim pieces):

Middle door trims glued in place, also the front/rear lower pieces:

Door trims, upper/lower finished result, happy owner, now i have to get it out on the roads so i can enjoy it not just stand in the garage looking at it..:

Painter called me yesterday and said parts were done! Picked up the parts today, looks good i think. Compared the painted parts with the car and it looks good in the garage. The "real" result will show when the car get's out in the sun with the freshly painted parts on if it's good or not good. Unfortunately i will have to wait 2 weeks before the paint/clearcoat has settled and i can get the trims on the car. Reason: Original the middle door trims were (as far as i found) fitted with double sided tape. Sure, thats good, but a hell to get right/straight when fitted to the car. So i decided to mount them and the lower front/rear lower trims with some kind of glue to get a chance to fit the parts in the right place before the glue settles. So to hold the trims in the right place when the glue settles i need tape to hold them in place, and according to the painter this is not good as is will leave marks in the paint if it has not cured for 2 weeks. Well, summer is not here yet and all the car meetings is cancelled due to Corona. So no stress.
Here is some pictures of the door trims and finally the front plate is painted with the correct matte black behind the grill

Small jobb tonight, fitting head light covers that i bought of a group buy at FB. My car had only the left cover so i bought a set for both sides.
Middle metall piece/braket will be left to the painters to get some matte black on the red marked area as original. Bothered me a loong time, so tonight i took it of and masked it up for the painter. Still waiting on door trims from the painter.
