Sleeper S2 Avant +400HP

So decided to keep the valve cover OEM.

[Jonas_R]

So I have modified my valve cover to fit my new tfsi coil cover.

I wanted to powder coat the valve cover black to match the other cover, but my painter is delaying it all the time.

So should I keep the valve cover stock or paint it black?

red all the way!...

very lucky with your crank pulley....how that has happened is anyones guess...

I think it will be black all the way

Regarding crank pulley, then my guess is previous owner thighten it using a air gun. I mean lots of the stuff done on the car seems half assed to be honest.

I mean who welds on a stud on the oil drain plug and then reuses it. A new one is 2£.

Also when I bought the car no rear wiper, no electrical mirrors and no heated rear window. I then check out the fuse box, and the fuses are missing.

Ok I think I will try the Foliatec matt black caliper paint.

[tscheel]

Yeah I think black is the way to go with audi rings as logo instead of porsche.

Torben: are does your calipers? Are they power coated or just painted with normal caliper paint?

Yes, The coating is original - it looks more anodised than painted. The "PORSCHE" text earned me another trip to MOT after fiddeling with the old G60's

If its a sleeper they should be black

[tscheel]

Not sure if I should paint them black or keep them red?

Maybe this helps deciding.

Update on the project

So it passed the MOT without problem.

Did some minor repaires this weekend.

Discovered that the previous owner had blocked off the PCV system. No catch or anything just at plug at the MAF hose.

So new pipe from audi and back to oem for the time being.




Previous owner had also ****ed the oil drain plug and welded on it. But instead of changing it he reused with a washer and then over thighten it. I had to use a 1/2 meter pipe rench to get it loose. Bloddy annoying.


Also got some new calipers from germany, they need a little cleaning but otherwise fine.

Not sure if I should paint them black or keep them red?

Billet wheel installed instead of stock.

Taking it to the MOT today, fingers crossed

A classic shot of the legendary VAG bottom pulley!

[irishs2]

Yea, that bottom pully is scary. Way too many of the crack. Billet from now on.

Hallo Jonas
Nice car you have bought!

I have brand new crank pulley wheel you can have - (if you have the guts to use the stock wheel again)
