Hi everyone, I'm new to the forum
I've just (well, october) bought my first Audi, and it had to be an RS2. It's been my dream car since i was a teenager, but never thought I would be able to afford one. Long story short, this RS2 is something we call a chassie swap here i Norway. It means, it's a complete rolling RS2-chassie from Switzerland, and complete drivetrain from a Norwegian crashed RS2. Legally swapped, the chassi from Switzerland does not have to pay first time registration fee, horsepower fee and lots of other small but expensive details. A nice way to legally import a car without breaking the bank.
The RS2 had a new and very well executed paint job, but was'nt really put together afterwards. That's when I bought it, and I am putting it slowly together now. It's a bit of a challenge when I've only rebuild Volvos before... Learning by doing.
So far as I can see I'm missing the trim on top of the doors and around the rear side window, lower door trim (crappy state, won't bother paint them) and RS2 headlight trim.
Besides that it needs some new brakepands, and it's not boosting properly (yet).
My plans are some kind of "meaty stance", low with meaty tires, front lip and cup intakes istead of those lights in the front bumper. And some sort of low bucket seat for the driver, as I'm way to tall for my dream car The sunroof scrubs my head when the seat are in it's lowest position. Huge dissapointment.
The Norwegian drivetrain har done 142 000km's, and the chassi has done 165 000km's.
I'll post the few pics I have so far, and some of my previous Volvo just for bragging
With OZ Futuras
The Volvo was a huge learning process for me. Build my own engine, Porsche GT3-seats, lot's of custom bits. BBS E26 wheels as well.
Two pics of the RS2... It has the nogaro blue interior with carbon trim BTW.
On the way home on temperary plates, full of extra parts and bits from the donor RS2.
Sold the Cup 2's right away and got hold of a set og Twist's

I'm having some trouble with the warning lights that hopefully some of you can help me with, just need to make a video showing the problem
Cheers!
