Audi RS2 -94 Swe

[89 Coupe]

I know this post was from awhile ago but I am trying to locate a few "Old" style hood insulation clips. It seems as though the part numbers in the system now are a completely different style of clip that uses a screw instead of the push pin style as seem above.

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

Thanks in advance,

Bimmerod

Any more info on the clips on the left?

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

Hi ! Sorry i have not been here for a few weeks. I bought the new style screw/clips. That worked fine. The clips in the picture is my old clips.

Thanks for the reply, I sent you a PM about purchasing some of your old ones.

Cheers!

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..

You got yourself a real bargain there. Well done.

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:

Sorry to hear about Santino

Garage looking great, and the twists are gonna look great after some love from you

[s0_big]

Yeah, I hate loosing pets...

Nice tidy workshop/garage, are you going to get the rims finished in silver and what size/offset are they? I think they'd look better refurbed the same colour as the factory wheels but that's down to personal preference.

Yeah, me too. But he had a good life until it went bad.
The rims will be painted in some kind of silver, maybe a litle darker than the original wheels. 18x8,5" ET52.
As the winter is here, i think i will take it easy on the expenses until i know the electrical bill
But i hope to have them finished to the spring.

Hi!
A little update on the car. I got hold of the fabric for the seats (Kobalt-Blue alcantara from Audi), so thats sorted. Now it's just a matter of money/work to leave the seats to a good car saddler. I think i will use the company who did my doors. But thats not really the top of my list right now.
Some "new" rims also found the way home to my garage, i always liked the Porsche turbo twist style rims. So when an opportunity came up, i didn't hesitate. But there need to be work done to them aswell. New paint and the center needs machining, also needs new tires.
I also got hold of some new engine mounts that will replace the stiff ones i have now. These are from Audi tradition.
Other than that i got the car up on jack stands to do some oil changes. Besides the engine oil i will replace the gearbox and rear diff oil. All plugs on the gearbox/diff came out pretty easy besides the drain plug o the diff... That one needed some real heat, then it gave up, just as the plug was going round. Otherwise it could have turned in to some real painfull work. Now i just need a new plug, so i guess i sould be happy!
Engine oil: Motul 300V 15W-50
Gearbox oil: Redline MT 90 75W-90 GL-4. For CRB gearbox 2.3L.
Rear diff: Redline 75W-90 GL-5. For AZE diff 1.3L.

Some pictures, Cindy the cat is curious, Santino the bigger one have sadly passed away, just 6 years old. I think he got a stroke, so we had to put him out.

Santino that is no longer with us, visiting the garage:
