And the final Product

I was thinking of changing the headlights and bonnet to those from an S2 but I think it looks a bit mean the way it is.

What do you think?

[Azman]

Heres a couple more of the old engine and how naffed up your front radiator can get.

Cheers Guys,

Many thanks to WIll and his mate Nickerlarse for sorting me out and spraying the bumper. All looks mighty well after a quick polish, gotta get ny head in the engine bay now and use a fair few cable ties to strap parts of the loom up away from Mr turbo hotside.

Anyone know where I can get some stainless tubing from for the intake pipes?????

[Azman]

P.S.

Due to censorship half of the actual photos have not been published of Will and Aaron's Friday night adventures. You should have seen em.

Greate job there btw!!

I like the B3 front end with the S2 Front Bumper.....

But yes, it does beg the question "why" when a 3b can be had for £3k. Not knocking your good work though fellas.

Cheers,

So tell me.. why not just buy an S2 ?

well there cant be many Lago blue S2's out Same reason why I'd always consider doing the same to my pearl cq20v, and if you're happy with the rest of your car and spent a lot of time & effort getting it all sweet, for us non turbo lot the next stage would be the engine!! Nice job there! who know's I may follow suit one of these days!!

Going back to a job you've no doubt forgotten about after that marathon Aaron did you find the main front wheel hub bolts were the same size as the rears? I need to order a set for my 5 stud swap and Ive got a feeling the rears are smaller.

cheers

Paul - Driveshaft bolts or hub carrier bolts?

If you mean the driveshaft bolts they are different sizes front to rear. DON'T go to Audi for them!!!!! They will give you an updated version with thread all the way down the bolt shaft! You need to speak to pete at Quattro corner to get the same ones as on the car.

If you mean the Hub carrier bolts, I got 3B hub carriers and have had to drill the struts out to the larger M14 bolts that the 3B had. I know there is only 2mm diff in the size of the bolts but you watch them knock your camber off something silly!.

Hope that helps matey

As Wab says no where near as much fun and stress. And now it has been done once it will make it easier in the future for more upgrades (Duck Will)
