AAN powered 80q

[Mark.se]

Those mounts did the trick





Still able to fit the 034 Motorsport 3" downpipe





034 coilpacks ready to be positioned in place



S2 dash clocks and a boost gauge ready to go





And some more parts....

Wheel refurb, how hard can it really be??
I was quoted £100 per wheel, sod that

Went out and got a load of paint stripper, sheets of wet and dry, metal filler, primer, spary paint, lacquer etc etc.
Got enough supplies to do at least 3 sets (if not more) came in at under £100
Need to do a set of 16" Avus and 17" Boleroles and maybe the 19"s I've got (don't look that bad)

I'll give it a go....(cue lots of swearing, beer drinking and tool throwing)

Pics to follow

Excellent thread, how long has it taken you to get to this point?

[Mark.se]

We picked up the 80q V6 and started stripping on 2nd Feb. 2011.
The engine was in place on the 23rd Feb.
Engine was first started on the 15th March but still alot to do.
There was four of us working on it but I had to go back home to Sweden after 4 weeks and leave the rest of them to it (that's another story it itself, going over to England in the S6, getting the 80q then the conversion, going home and going back again and getting the car back, surprised I'm still married. Said to the wife I was selling the S6 in England.....)
Talk about walking the line

Then I went back again to England on the 26th April, first maiden voyage was to Standford Hall car show Bank Holiday weekend in May on the Nogsport Club display. Finally got back home to Sweden about the 6th May.
Surprised my kids still recognized me

Takes loads of time.....
Stripped off and rubbed down with some wet and dry, then 2 coats of primer.
Looking good so far (famous last words)



This is the end product after 2 layers of primer (½hour between coats), 3 layers of sliver paint (again at least ½ hour between coats) and 3 layers of lacquer

I really need to read through the original thread on nogsport.

When I got back to Eric's for the 2nd time, loads had been done.
Still a few things to sort out before Stanford Hall



5-stud hub conversion











Newly sprayed wing thanks to Gompa





Still had to change the pedals and dash



Getting there...

[Mark.se]

Bez re-welded the exhaust from the S6 to make it fit on the 80





More completed work, steel braided brake hoses, suspension parts, fuel lines etc







Next step was to fit S2 clocks, easier said than done.....
Different connections at the back meant that I had to strip down the clocks and replace the dials.
All was going well until I put the rev counter back together, pressed down slightly too hard on the needle and broke the springs etc.....after taking apart five dashboards I found the same rev counter mechanism, it was the only one left. Gentle, gentle.
Then the heatshield needed to get sorted

The almost finished article

This is my first time to see this thread and I must say the progress is amazing. You've got everything looking wonderful. Keep it up!

[Mark.se]

Ta very much
One of the ideas from the outset was to try to keep it all looking as OEM as possible.
I know the coil packs aren't but I wasn't going to ditch them. With regards to the air filter that's all we had at the time and I had yet to fit an intercooler (time was against us).

When the intercooler did get fitted by some grease monkeys over here I was not happy with the results (I will be changing it).
Apparently 'fit the intercooler underneath the main front strut bar behind the bumper' didn't mean mount it on top and chop off half the splash panel and lose the bonnet handle in the process...:corey: which meant I had to fit bonnet pins for the Swedish MOT (another saga in itself)

First maiden voyage down to Stanford Hall May 2011





Just before I left England to go back home to Sweden



Still a fair amount to do

[Mark.se]

Once I got home wasted no time in cracking on.
Rear lights back to OEM ones
Sorted out the pedals
New boot liner
Tidied up the area around the battery
New car mats

June 2011, time to sort out some tunes

Put in the stereo I had in the S6
Wired in the iPod adapter, installed the amp/sub, put back the glove box and the tray underneath the steering wheel.
Wired in the cables for VagCom
Fitted the right hand traffic headlights.
Sorted out the fog light at the back, as it lights on the right side not the left (another fecking stupid Swedish MOT requirement/law).
One fog light only, then it has to be on the left hand side but your allowed two fog lights at the back so I just took off the blank on the left and trailed two wires across and connected it up.







Had the tracking done at my local Audi garage, miles better now.
Great fun just got better

September 2011, finally got the intercooler sorted
Limited for choice over here so a 'Forge' one it was, good for 450bhp.

I know, it wasn't mounted where I wanted it... Hindsight now, I should've done it myself.
However once the new S2 front bumper goes on it will be moved lower
