    Old member, new project!

    Hey everyone!

    My name is Andy and I have been a member since 2012 - I live in NYC, USA. When I made this account, I owned a 91' 200 20V, and a 91 7A Coupe that I had bought as a package for only $2000 USD in 2008. Being the young fool that I was, combined with my absolute love for the S2 coupe, I gutted the 200 20V and started rebuilding the 3b with new internals, new gaskets, and everything else I could find in order to build my own S2 - this included a 3b harness I bought from a S2 forum member way back when. However, in 2013, I started working for Tesla and the project quickly became a distant memory; I wound up selling both cars in 2016 for next to nothing - I know, I know - like I said, fool. Anyhow, since then, I picked up a pretty fun 95' 90 Sport Quattro which is my winter beater, and I am gearing up for something much bigger.

    I am writing this post because I am in the market for an S2 Avant that I intend to import into the USA. I am working with a professional importation broker called Orchid Euro, and I am ready to make a purchase as soon as I find the right car. I am hoping that someone on this forum who owns one, or knows someone who has been thinking about unloading theirs, or someone who has always wanted to make sure that their avant goes to the perfect home, will be connected with me, and help make my Audi dreams come true.

    If you know the right person, with the right car, please send them my way! I am willing to purchase in nearly any running state, so long as the price makes sense.

    Andy

        John. HAHA! I would prefer to gas up my 5 cylinder than plug in my EV any day of the week, but especially on Sundays!

              Cool to follow up on this after such a long time looking and waiting - 5 years!

              I spent all that time looking and waiting to find the right car. My father in law and I found an RS2 which we purchased a few years back, but it wasn’t mine and I never stopped looking for my own Avant.

              I finally found one over the summer and purchased back in September of last year. It missed reserve on BaT, and Pcar before I reached out to the seller directly and made a deal. I’ll be starting a project thread up soon.

              EFI speed density tune and a handful of other fun goodies all went in over the past few months. Can’t wait to post it all.

                    Also - I’m drastically searching for a high pressure hose from the power steering pump to the hydraulic accumulator for an ABY. Anyone got one?

                      Nice find. Lovely seats. Send sal_s2 a message as he has just broken an avant and might still have a hose. Looking forward to the thread

                          Thanks [mention]Tractor Dave [/mention] - PMed Sal and in the meantime had a new hose made yesterday at a local hydraulic shop. Cost me $170, so I got off easy until I can find an OEM hose.

                          Anyone do the bomb delete and vacuum boost installation? Mark at EFI is sending me a quote on the kit. Would love other opinions.

                            Also - finished the turbo upgrade yesterday. Need to dial in the fuel pressure, but car is running great.

                            It got a garret GTX gen II 2867, RS2 manifold, walbro fuel pump, 60lb injectors, on an EFI speed density tune. Bunch of new gaskets and little fixes along the way.
