S2 avant project

[couperr20v]

I've hear he's stopped doing that and is even going gym again but has a mild Ale addiction!

We will see I know his weakness know! Chocolate balls!

More bits fitted then wrong Just!

Have got some more bits on the car, turbo and intercooler fitted new oil cooler and mounting air scoop. Full set of new hoses from roose motor sport. I had ordered the turbo pipes from 034 which turned up wrong as you can see from picture, so have had intercooler to turbo pipe from roose. If you are ordering from roose motor sport always buy from ebay shop as this gets priority over direct.
New air con condenser fitted as old one is not in good shape. White line anti roll bar from Demon Tweeks is totally wrong which they are trying to sort out at the moment as it is the correct part number for a S2 avant
Clutch has turned up today so hopefully once fitted it will run correctly with the correct amount of teeth on the ring gear. I hope
Suspension is here waiting to be dropped in! SO hopefully it can go for hand made down pipe and exhaust fitment.

It's alive!!

Got her Running today Sounds lovely with just the down pipe on, wouldn't want to take the other half out in it though.
Nice to see it all coming together, just need to get exhaust measured, made and fitted and get it booked in for a live map at automark.
Big thanks to chocolate eating monster mechanic with spot on diagnosis!

how did you manage to start it with only 4 coils?

[HMS-S6]

Well spotted. Shortly after I borrowed one from an S4 I had in at the time.

[couperr20v]

Coming along now.

Now have all brake kits waiting for fitting tomorrow after I have picked her up from top gear performance in Doncaster where full 3 inch s/s exhaust is being made and fitted, picking car up in the morning.
New wings have been fitted and painted and the hole car machine polished last week done at my mates place N H Performance near Loughborough, If you are located in the east midlands and need body work and paint you wont get any better.
Hopefully will be able to get some miles on her before the 22nd of December before live map day.
Last pic is of other rebuild going on, can you tell what it is yet??

[HMS-S6]

Tomorrow? I thought they were being fitted next week!?

[couperr20v]

You know you want to fit them this week! what else could be more important then new brakes? you would never live with yourself if I have a bad accident down to inferior brakes.

Plus don't let on about the last pic! as you know what it is!

Outstanding job Matt and choc mechanic. When can I buy her back? Would 50k cover it?

Rear engined, V6, space frame, I was thinking Noble, but there's no turbos

Stratos?

Oh and the RARB looks like it was made from a paperclip!!

Nascar???

BTW Matt, are there any bhp and torque assumptions from these upgrades as yet?
