Thanks Kit!

What shafts did you pick up?

Jase.

Jase.

They're off a late V6 Coupe I broke years ago.

And no problem JW, happy to help and nice to get them out of my way.

[struikie]

Yep, the front drive shafts of the non-quattro B4 V6 at least fit the hub
and the gearbox flange. Length wise I'll find out if they will fit.

JW

[K Simmonds]

They should be the same length as the ones from a quattro B4 V6, I've done at lot of work on both types of car and the gearbox is the same width at the front on a FWD car as a quattro and the drive shaft flanges look the same with the same spacing. To be honest I haven't actually measured both but I have a pretty good eye for detail.

[struikie]

I haven't compared the width at the gearbox flanges yet between the original 01A
and the 6 speed 01E. We'll see

Ahh, yeah. I've only ever worked on five speed fwd/quattro V6's so there could be a difference, fingers crossed they're a straight fit.

Nice project, any new updates? Plenty of good work been done. Where did you buy that battery relocation kit?

[struikie]

Not much going on. Swapped the Pioneer headunit for a Sony DSX-GS80 as it has a
higher pre-out voltage and got a JL Audio 12" ported & powered sub.
The higher pre-out voltage let me set the gains of the amps al little better to
get the balance between mid/high and kicks.





Slowly gathering parts to fully rebuild the subframes and suspension.

I was looking at the trim on the doors. All the upper ones for S2 are still available here and there,
but the lower ones (the thin S2/ Competition) I can only find the ones for the doors. The
short ones on the ends are impossible to find.....

Car got a fresh MOT (APK here in NL) recently with no remarks. Driving it this week because
I have my 335d opened to replace glow plugs which were delayed and have to replace the
small turbo... sadly I can only spend my money and time once

The tray is still available at Audi Tradition.

I got lucky on the cover. Saw it on eBay Kleinanzeigen and bought it straight away
as I knew it is very rare. The rest of the parts I gathered elsewhere.

Looks like a very tidy job! Any idea if the sedan tray fits avant? They are different parts numbers, 8A9809353A (avant) & 8A9809353B (sedan)

[struikie]

I looked at that and the mounting points are different.
Audi Tradition has the avant version as well:

The avant version also doesn't have the flange where the cover
in the sedan mounts to.

Hmm maybe something went wrong when I copied and paste the part number into Tradition earlier, as I did not find anything.
Hence my question to you, thank you very much for the link!
