Ok - So what cars have a longer throttle cable? Is the AAN the same but longer?

All I need to do now is fit a bracket to fix the rad in place, fit the front slam panel, fit the exhaust adapter and fill with fluids.S2,RS2,S4 WB,RS4,S4 B8,RS6 C5,RS6 C6,R8Comment

And my throttle cable bodge - I cut an end off an old throttle cable and connected the 2 cables together - it will do for now - Tom will be proud of the bodge - I have to maek sure I can get WOT with it though.
My mate, Simon, gave me the idea to bodge it - it will probably stay like that

Here is a picture of my exhaust bodge - this is connecting my 3" Marco downpipe - to my current 2.5" exhaust - this it replaces the 2 y sections and the 2 cats/replacement pipes. I am waiting to see Toms side exit before I decide to do that or not.S2,RS2,S4 WB,RS4,S4 B8,RS6 C5,RS6 C6,R8Comment

WTF is that mostrosity mate?? Looks as bad as my heat shield bodge!! I guess Stevie Wonder is now providing welding and fabrication services in Scotland...album sales must be down. LOL.

Where is your ISV Doug? Is it far from the butterfly?1995 S2 Avant with some upgrades

it is a BODGE
- lets see your welding Lee 
If I wire brushed it, it would look a lot better.
Half the hoses I used were scrap or cuts from the set I got to fit the intake. BTW - I could do with some vacuum hose - as the long bit I had is too short to route properly to the diverter.S2,RS2,S4 WB,RS4,S4 B8,RS6 C5,RS6 C6,R8Comment

It is 1 metre away from the butterfly - that wire reinforced tube goes from a T piece just next to the throttle body all the way down and up to the ISV and the back of the manifold. I thought I would see how it worked like that - before trying to fit it closer - it is all a bit tight at the front.Originally posted by LeeS2,RS2,S4 WB,RS4,S4 B8,RS6 C5,RS6 C6,R8Comment

My welding isn't too bad especially with Oxy...then it gets beautiful. Must learn to TIG but can't afford one yet to play with. I made my crank locking tool using an Arc welder..5 minutes practice and the old skills were back. MIG is crap for making nice welds unless you use it a hell of a lot.1995 S2 Avant with some upgrades

I'll be bringing a few reels of VAC hose to bonny Scotland next week. I am sure I could 'lose' a little bit

I can do some beautiful welds with the MIG - I am just not consistant with it - some time it is real nice - most of the times it is a ****ing mess - I am very proud of my nut I welded on the DP to plug in Mihneas EGT gauge - that is as near perfect as I could ever hope for - pity about the other 3 metres of welds.S2,RS2,S4 WB,RS4,S4 B8,RS6 C5,RS6 C6,R8Comment

Not far off now doug
have you cut a hole in the bumper yet?Comment

No hole yet - do you mean behind the reg plate? I think I will get the car running before I do that. I am not looking forward to doing that! There is a box section behind the outer skin of the bumper so I need to cut that as well.Originally posted by martinjsNot far off now doug

I need to cut a couple of slots under the bumper - I have 2 struts coming off the bottom of the IC to stop the IC moving - and it is too tight a fit over those bolts/struts.
DOes anyone know where to get RS2 style mesh? A hexagon style mesh?S2,RS2,S4 WB,RS4,S4 B8,RS6 C5,RS6 C6,R8Comment
