My AAN 2.2 20v Turbo B5 A4 Avant build

Sean,

Can you send me the warning legend from your knackered instrument cluster?
Assuming it's an S2 one. It's the thin plastic bit with the pictures on - light shines through it for the warning lights/ indicators etc

You won't need it

BUT i might have a nackered set of clocks from a friend i can rape!

just sent a text now for you

[Sleeper_Avant]

have you got a pic of the plastic film legend you need?

A4 might be the same!

[Sleeper_Avant]

todays thrilling installment..............

well, sort of but not really, actually.......well no! lol

bolted up my ally hubs, adjusted for more camber this time too.... stance man, all about the stance!

for a size comparison, there is a large 21mm spanner in for size looks






oh, and on a different note, i got a parcel today!!





i know what im doing tomorrow night now

i know what im doing tomorrow night now

Sitting in the seat making car noises?

What have you done to get more camber?

[Sleeper_Avant]

since ive chopped my engine cradle in half and elongated the holes i have about 1 inch of lateral movement!

once everythings in place how i want it, engine back in etc i will try to make tubular pickups for the suspension i think, wont be too hard

then it will be super "trick" and look good

no vroom vroom noises but i did sit in the seat tilting back and forwards to get the angels i liked (nearly fell backwards when i went too far lol )

also Andy,
i need to make some adjustable top arms, the camber will be no good for non track use i dont think, and destroy tyres for fun

[Sleeper_Avant]

i also need to make one of these as this will be the first thing to snap the way i drive cars

[andy10v]

Going to weld one up?

I think apikol or 034 do billet ones for ££

[Sleeper_Avant]

no andy, i will most likely make a square base plate for the triange shaped 3 bolt holes,

then use 20/30mm round bar/tube from each corner of the square plate (triangulated between the bars) to rosejointed ends where it bolts upto the rear subframe, if that makes sense.

few hours work and maby £50 in bits

[Sleeper_Avant]

my favourite classic audi so far!

[andy10v]

Got you.

Why the rose jointed ends?

[andy10v]

That 80 is cool as fook!

[Sleeper_Avant]

Rose jointed ends for slight movement ability

and threaded for adjustability, also as above.

can anyone guess what i did today???????????? lol

yes, blue peter badges all round..........

i made my seat runner mounts and welded them in place, then bolted my seat in

and it feels goooooooooooooooooooooooooood #Cumfy lol

lovely bit of beading if i do say so myself



Also, do you think dashboard top or no dash?
im undecided, but as the sleeper look goes, a dash would suit it
(yes yes yes i know ive just put a touring car seat in!!)

anyway, pics of my handywork today












i love the seat, will get blue centre for it and S4 blue Alcantara door cards

i need door cards as the door seal butts upto them!
without them theres an inch gap between the door and the body........DOH!

still, will look nice though dont you think!
like the RS2 stuff..........mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!
oh and carbon trims would be sweeeeeeeeeeeeet

Just waiting for my flywheel and clutch then i can nail the bottom end back in and gearbox, and get it ready to run i guess

then gauges wired up etc

im just so skint at the minute i cant even afford a rattle can of paint for the engine bay before it goes back together

more tomorrow hopefully !!

I would go for the dash top, just looks cleaner/more finished. Not much extra weight anyway?

Yeah, I drove without door cards for a bit, its a bit draughty

Good to see you just working away at it.
