    Looks good, though gotta say the scenery almost takes centre stage in those shots - thats a beautiful spot!! Where abouts in Wales is that?

    Any more details about the car, like who did the exhaust? Looks nice & clean, how do you enjoy it upto now?

      Cheers, That would be Nant Gwrtheyrn, Its a welsh learning centre in an old Quarry with one of the stepest roads in wales.

      The Car has full Service History 130000miles, Reciepts going back to the origianl purchase and reciepts adding up too £7000 over the last 16years. leather interior no A/C or heated seats etc, a basic S2 id think so.

      It was a guy on Angelsey called HIB Exhausts that made it, 3inch all the way and made to look like the standard tailpipe on the back, came to a grand total of £372 with no issues of it hitting the rear axle.

      Ive always wanted the Classic UR Quattro but with prices going up and up for a clean one i thought this would be the next best thing, i enjoy every bit of the car, power comfort and rarity, but most of all the 5cyl engine, did think it would drink more than it does but to be honest its not that bad

        Nice car there....


        Is that the exhaust guy in LLangefni?

        Does some good work, I want to take mine there soon to add a centre box, it's
        a bit loud/too much resonance for long trips with full 3", decat and only the rear box.

          Yes hes the Guy Sion, got his number if you want to give him a ring.

          Mine is still a bit loud on long journeys but sounds awsome when giving it some

                  Tidy...

                  Under 400 quid for a handbuilt exhaust in 3" - now we are talking - that couldnt be stainless for that money is it ?

                    @AcidBurn, Ill try and get some when the car goes on a ramp next time, Next on the list? fixing the flexi oil return for the turbo. But next modification would be to change the spring in the wastgate, but Im afraid ill mess up the fueling. Is it a straight swop?

                    @Keeper of The Kitten, Somebody else has said they look like brouchre pictures aswell. I borrowed my friends Digital SLR so that might be the reason.

                    @S2central.net, Yes all Stainless, Id been searching on the forum how much other people had been paying and when he gave me that price i took the offer straight away. thats including cutting one of his spanners to make a special tool to remove the downpipe and took the best part of a day to carry out the work

                      Don't tell the guy but he could charge double that money and still be a bargain... Are you in contact with him - could we interest the man in my modular exhaust idea ?
                      If you can't be bothered getting involved thats cool - just PM me the guys phone number and I'll take it further.

                      Whats the quality like of welds & joins - any photos ?

                        That is a lovely stock looking car. Not many left that look like that!

                        Absolute bargain on the exhaust front!

                        You may like to think about a remap if you haven't already, 280bhp and 300ftlbs.

                        P.S. Don't mess with the wastegate spring, just do the above, much better solution.

                        Cheers,

                        Steve.
