S2 Avant -93 DUK-3

[Duke]

Hello everybody, this is my build from Finland.

I bought the car a year ago. Front bumper was on primer and rest of the car had some rust issues and overall bad paint job. So first I fixed all the rust and dents, got car resprayed with primer and then wrapped it with iSee2 storm grey vinyl. It's going to be painted red in some point.

Car allready had BC Racing coilovers when I bought it. Next step was the brake update. On front I found Porsche Cayenne 6-pot Brembos with 330mm discs, rear calipers were sandblasted and painted Brembo red like the front calipers. New discs, pads and hoses on every corner.
Wheels are BBS LM128 8,5x18" with 215/35 tyres. Wheels are fully refurbished, centers are powder coated in satin black, lips are painted in black with three clear coat layers. New center caps and bolts.

Car allready had MaxxEcu engine management, RS2 manifold, turbo, RS2 injectors and RS2 cams. It feld so lazy! So it was time to take the engine out for a full rebuild.

New Bling Factory billet flywheel was attached with Sachs SRE clutch. Everything was balanced.

Engine has now been assembled. It has Tommis Billet adjustable camshaft gear and chain gear with RS2 camshafts. Stronger Tommis Billet engine timing crankshaft gear. New engine mounts filled with Sika bond. New waterpump, new belts, new Bosch start motor and new Bosch alternator.

To make it pretty the head cover was ceramic polished, intake manifold was painted with VHT wrinkle, timing belt cover was replaced with a carbon piece and of course R8 oilcap

Great looking Avant. I bet your well happy with how it looks. Thanks for sharing your hard work with us. .

[Greg_S]

Looks great, quite a bit of work since you first got the car too. Is it all back together now?

[Drummer87]

Lovely colour on this car. I would be tempted to get it sprayed grey instead of a red. Looks mean. Good work with the engine side.

Thank you all, work is still in progress. Just got the exhaust manifold and 3" downpipe. I'm going to use Borg Warner EFR 7670 turbo, so no longer need for external wastegate. Bosch 044 fuel pump was installed inside the tank with new thicker wiring.

Thanks, I've never heard of that brand before. I've just had a look now and found them - isee2

the paintwork on my coupe is garbage, the laquer is cracking and before I make the decision to sell the car part of me is thinking to wrap it but I don't know if wrapping would work on it if the laquer is not 100% smooth?

[Duke]

Laquer must be smooth, every single fault, stonechip, rust etc. will show on wrap.

I like what I see. Can you tell me about the custom fan wiring? Does one need to do something or simply drop in the replacement? Thanks.
