Oh the BELL?!?!? On the desk?? Yes, that is the bell at VRS that you ring for attention...

Deary me, I thought you were on about the bell housing or something, not the desk bell!!!

Hmm like a a cougar you say?
I'm not sure Alex will appreciate being likened to a middle aged woman seeking a sexual encounter with a younger man.

That's one description

Sharp.

Error re yourself, I'm reminded of a cougar crouched in the long grass just waiting to pounce. to keep us all honest / on the correct path.

[Error404]

No it's one of those little space ships from Batteries Not Included

Great to see this coming together, I think the item which looks a little like a desk bell is the wastegate or DV cap and a non OE part... It's hard to make it out properly though.

Erm... the size in the picture! To be honest I never really discussed oil cooler options, so it was left to Will to obtain a part that was suitable to the build. Perhaps if you have some advanced image enhancement software you might be able to work out what is says on that sticker...

What size cooler did you go for?

[cardcrash]

I have no idea. You could email Audi Tradition, they've helped me identify parts and their numbers before. Or else others on here might know, UrS4boy seems to be a human parts catalogue...

Where does the bell fit??

I'm just doing a full rebuild on my RS2 but I don't have a bell what is the part number

Keep up the good work it will all be worth it.

Some more painted brackets and whatnots:


More pics of the roll bar, brackets, bushes and rear suspension in general:






Some valve porn:












Shiny painted gearbox:


And an oil cooler:

I chose the RS2 because the value will increase and will hopefully go some way towards paying for the modifications on the other one when I come to sell it.

Also I understand the chassis on the avant is superior.

You should have had a coupe too which is lighter and faster


Great project!

That's why I'm doing both!

N = standard/OEM; M = enhanced with extra bits:

Wow

You're expending a little fortune in the RS2

A car which most people says is to let just on OEM factory specs
