    Thanks.
    I don't think i will feel any difference regarding the intercooler. It was months since my last drive. But hopefully it helps if you are chasing numbers.

    Hi!

    Long time no see.

    I'm still here and the car too. Been busy with kids and all around that. But i have done some things with the car during these years.
    I got hold of some fresh front original seats with alcantara/leather.

    The rear seats where customized with the orignal leather but with blue alcantara (bought from Auditradition) so almost like factory spec back seat.
    I had the floor mats made at the same time, black with blue edges.

    Changed the intercooler for a wagner, little bit bigger but with all stock fittings. Should be better than original 30 year old one. Also did the "Mark-H mod"? Right name?

    Finaly got hold of a dream stering wheel, 3-spoke without airbag leather/blue alcantara. It's a rebuildt steeringwhell with org alcantara/horn button. Even have the right stamping. Always loved that steeringwheel.

    Now i'm waiting for bumpers and some trims to get back from the painter. They had some stone chips and some parts where badly painted i think.
    B and C-pillars where a little ruff and the C-pillars had some corrosion on them.

    Before cleanup:

    After some cleaning, i also had to get a new right mount for the rear bumper, but that was available at auditradition.

    I will try to update a little bit more now.
    Hopfully i get the painted parts this week, we will see.

    Is it still possible to purchase the original style clips? Part# ?

    Thanks in advance,

    Any more info on the clips on the left?

    They look similar to the roof rack clips that I cant find a replacement for

    Forward to the better stuff. I got my new hood insulation with new fasteners, also new air guide as the previous owner planned to put a boost gauge in the ventilation but never did so there was a hole in the center..

    Cleaned hood, also cleaned every plastic trim and clips:

    I got hold of an -95 Audi S2 Avant rear/front end subframe for 200 euros, nothing to think about (though im home with the baby and don't have a lot of cash). 200 euros is to good to be true, so i went and picked it up Looks good and have lots of nice parts on it such, cast front wishbones/rear upper cast wishbones. Happy days, some times i feel lucky. I will tear it down and sandblast it/powder coat it some day. But i think it will be after my daddytime at home. The car passed 250 000km today 45764-20b33b51e09c4d9f70e80cd81b74a9ce.jpg 45764-8961e89603c81dc6c62df0d76f307ef6.jpg

    Hi! The car and me is still alive. I have welded on a 100 cell catalyst to my Supersprint exhaust and polished the car/ceramic coated it. Last week i was on a big meet near Gothenburg. This was a meet with all types of cars, from Koenigsegg to old Audis. Very nice meet an many people. It was a 500km drive for me and the RS2, wich behaved good. A little bit cold during the night as i sleept in the trunk
    The Coupé that is in the pictures is a custom build with S4 B5 front/rear. Widened rear fenders and lots of other mods done to it. Really nice build.

    Hi! Some progress made here after all. Got my engine mounts changed to Audi original ones. Now its much smoother than before. I haven't driven the car, just felt the differens on idle/a little revving.
    I also got the thumbs out and got my "Turbo wheels" restored/repainted in Porsche GT-Silver, same as most of my engine parts. But the wheels have a shiny clearcoat and the engine parts matte clearcoat. I think it looks good. I didn't want the same colour as everybody else (stock silver rims). Other than this i need to weld on a cat to my Supersprint exhaust to get through MOT. Before i changed to an old system with a cat, but im tired of changing every time. Other than that i think the car is pretty ready for the summer. A little polish/ceramic coat is also on the to do list.

    Engine mounts getting the right bolts/nuts. Also the rubber "heatshield" that sits on the exhaust side:
