Car looks great on those wheels!

What brakes have you gone for?

Got the mazda discs, will post up some photos as the factory ones look really small behind the S8 Avus the 314s will look much better

Nice job on the car, and good save on the rear subframe.

My own avant is from Aberdeen, seems none can escape the rust.

Yea need to do the same on the front subframe, got DIY coilovers on the way as struts are not much better.
Thinking I will have to treat inside of doors back arches and repair replace wings before a respray

Passed MOT

Finally got my car back on the road with MOT and tax today
Advisory on the front subframe but its on the to do list.
Got the Avus wheels on with new michelin pilot super sports and hopefully fit the K24R rear brake mod this weekend.
Was great to get out in the S2 today, forgot how much I missed it.
Everything working well and boosting 1.4bar

Before



After



Got the wheels cleaned with a mixture of wonder wheels and tar remover.
Old balancing weights sticky stuff is murder to get off

[sjw185]

Got out for a test run today and the improvement is amazing
Dont notice any extra noise or vibration and there was so much slop before on and off power but now its totally tight.
Roads were wet and felt like there was more power getting down to the road and starting to loose traction powering round corners

[andy10v]

Looks much better! As you say it makes you want to keep going

[sjw185]

Need to stop spending cash and start fitting parts!

Carbon bits



Heated seat loom



Brake brackets

Thanks

Want to get the front subframe done now as my gearbox mounts must be bad?
Running solid engine mounts at the moment.

[mackenzie50]

Nice result ..surprised your subframe turned out so well keep on with the good work!

[Error404]

Glad the rear frame has cleaned up OK
You will really notice the difference with a nice tight rear end (!)
