Hello To all
I've been part of this forum for some time now and I've been learning alot from many people and i would like to thank everyone for all your help and PARTS.. Josh, Tristan, Paul, Dave, Charlie, Ben and i cant ever forget my Lovely Wife Martyna.
Ever since i have been in the Auto Scene for many years and i've always love the Audi Coupe and even more the S2 but i never found one until this year.
I picked up one of these:
Its a 1991 Coupe with 200K on the clock. As you could see from the pictures it need some work but how can you go wrong for $400. It runs and drivers but i needs the following items:
- Front end work= all bushing for control arms and subframe, tie rods, shocks, strut mounts
- Front end needs a paint job
- Diff lock doesn't work
- Fog lights dont work
- Rear tail lights leak
- Very little Heat in the car
- Radiator
- Power steering pump
After getting the car registered and insured. I changed the power steering to a V6 pump and the brakes to vacuum, see below:
The brakes feel so much better now and there is no bomb in the engine bay:
Talking to some people only and they talked me into doing a turbo swap into the coupe, so thanks to Ben who found the URS4 and thanks to Charlie who sold me the URS4 which looked like this:
So the Easy part was now done. i got the Coupe running, i brought a running URS4 and this is where the fun begins.
I had to search for a intake manifold fro a ABY so i found Tristan who is a great guy and helps me out a lot with parts, he was able to send me one of these:
but i really didn't like the way that look so i changed it a bit:
So the intake was here and complete and now onto the intercooler and cross member:
stock and black paint removed
little damage to the cross member but its OK:
and the finish product:
The wire Harness- I found one on ebay and i have to take some pictures of it. It took me 1 month before i got it but it came complete with every plug and 1 cut ground.
Duel Performance is the name of my garage. Me and my buddy have started something and trying to get our name out.. Hopes this helps..
I will try to update every time i work on either cars..
I hope to have the engine out on saturday so i could Sand blast the block and clean everything up.
