Project Mental Wheels

[Rikki Kitto]

Wish I had this determination sometimes, great looking project Sir

[cardcrash]

Ok, rear suspension components powdercoated:


Rear subframe powdercoated:


And a test fit for fun:


Lookin' good
Hopefully the subframe and bushes will be on the car tomorrow...

[cardcrash]

Some shots of the rear subframe and suspension I received today:







And a blurry picture of a box, can't read what it says...???:

Looks great.

I always wanted a Wavetrac diff!

[cardcrash]

I didn't know I wanted one until I was told I did!

Forgot this update too:

[Rocco]

Wow

You're expending a little fortune in the RS2

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

[cardcrash]

That's why I'm doing both!

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

[Rocco]

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:

[cardcrash]

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.

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:

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.

[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...

[Error404]

That's one description
What size cooler did you go for?

[cardcrash]

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...

[K Simmonds]

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.
