        Anton, just wondering what is the bit at the top of the left picture here, is it a spolier of some sort?

        also the two parts underneath the center console.

        I've just modded a center console for mine so it removes the tape holders and the cig lighter hole

        what made the change from 20vt to v8 then? and will it end up with some turbo's on for good measure

            acidburn: that is, i think, the "competition" spoiler lippe, it attaches to the front of the "s2" bumper.

            and the lowe right pods should be for lifting the rear compi spoiler, but i have no idea what will he need them for on a coupe...

              Yo Pete.

              The black plastic on the top is an 80 comp lip spoiler like skull said. The other two bits are rear 80 comp spoiler extension mounts. Missed the auction this morning for the rear spoiler lip attachment

              For this project my last parts came from Martyn included the later cabriolet center console with no lighter hole and diff hole so pretty much what you've made

              My mind changes rapidly but I contemplated my problem which is not being satisfied. After all this collecting and spending and shipping I'd like to be happy with the end results. I would not be satisfied with a replica RS2/S2. The real deal or nothing. So I've decided to drop turbos and all its maintenance costs for NA V8 power into my daily. I now think I'll be happy with this route. It's still an OEM queen. Very good mix match of S2/RS2/S6+ bits, lots of black chrome.

              Looking out for an S8 4v 4.2 motor and S6+ 6spd tranny

                Lol yes somewhat! Its the slow accumulation of bits that's keeping but when it's all there Derek will help me finish it.

                Speaking of cup1s. I've just bought a second set 18x8.5 & 18x9.5. Will get a chance to do some experimenting on the rears and have a few spares:mischeif:

                  You've got it

                  why do you assume I will need them for a Coupe? for curiousity sake they are destined for a 90q I am buying for my Father

                    oh mann, you've just made me all giddy inside you know I still ponder those wheels every day...........
                    so you got a full set of 9.5"?
                    I know what those'll look good on

                    yeaaa 4.2 is the way to go. I was really contemplating that route when my timing cog decided to shear and all the valves went from strait to super limp wrist, but in my case I already had a full 20v setup (not like you don't), but I just couldn't justify it. I think though that if I were to do it again, 4.2 would be how I would go. na, worryless, lighter than the i5, and nearly as fast as my gt3071'd aan.....

                        Cup1s 8.5 and 9.5 wide... will see what Rob has to say about fitment Got them for $500 Actually they were sold by TechArt gmbh on the bay

                        Fish you'll be proud mate I found the MTM cluster I asked you about for 50euros

                        I am still collecting parts but I should hopefully if money is right have a new motor and tranny in the Coupe summerish. I hope you guys stay patient with my project I do things very slowly and meticulously.

                                Anton,
                                My parts & bits pile is starting to add up too, we need to get some dicount shipping from UK/DE to Seattle going. Added HIDs finally, don't know why I waited. Made my projectos go from good to amazing. Still need to meet up and grab that beer at Feierabend.

                                Cheers
                                Geoff
