My 3B-AAN 400 HP project

Obviously you have to cut the back cover.



Also the extra dish of the pulley means the front cover fouls on the centre of the spokes of the pulley.
I'm working on a way of modifying the original cover, so that it still serves its purpose. I've got an old broken one to practice on, as the plastic cover is NLA.

I have done the test....i saw that the 3B cover dont fit...i will have to modify..indeed..the cover...because is a street car...i think is important to have that in place.
Thank You!

Do you know if the 3B cambelt cover can be used with the ABY cam pulley?
I want to use the hall sensor there and get rid of dizzy.

About the thread with the differences between s2forum and others!!!
You can see here that...even in this stage...the Audi coupe is faster than an Mini Cooper!

now is on wheels....some kind of... i welded some bars onto 2 spare rear subframes i had...just to be able to transport the body to the body shop...and there to move around.
Today or tomorrow....will be transported to the body shop.
Hopefully..there i will be able to remove the rest of that black sh...t.

I know that tar and aluminium stuff, it's really hard to get off!

Have you seen this? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fbb5dD98b5s

The original floor insulation is easy to remove....but on top of that...i added this self adhesive tarr...is like the one used to cover the houses....but with an aluminum foil on top...that is the one wich is difficult....is way to sticky...and iff i heat'it...will melt and transform in an more sticky compound....

[pasbogdan]

Use a small gas torch and all interior flor insulation is off in max 2 h.It comes off easy when hot.For the under flor insulation(a ruber compound)i used an angle grinder with a wire brush on it.But a very rough one.The wires are aprox 1mm.You grind untill you see metal and the protection layer and stop.If you go forward you get to clear metal and you should not if not the case.
This may help some one,because i tried to remove the interior insulation without heating it and i finished the left rear flor in aprox 40 min...

My God!!!! How much work.... spend today 14 hours trying to clean the inside from the sealing compound i have put in after the quattro modification....
Wy i was soo stupid....Never ever use something like that iff you know you will have to remove at 1 point....
I used some self adhesive tarr with aluminum foil on top..maibe you know...
I will send the body for blasting...
I hope will be ok....
I will post some pictures with what i have done today....my hands are killing me now.
