    New S2 Owner - Sydney

    Hi everyone,

    been lurking these forums for years in the anticipation of getting my hands on an S2.
    Which i finally will as i will be taking delivery of an '93 Kingfisher Blue S2 right here in Sydney Australia.

    Been a long time coming.

    Im no stranger to Audis having modified a couple in the past.
    First Audi was a silver 2001 S3 which i boosted, front mount intercooler, intake exhaust coilovers, brembos. Handled like a go-kart!!
    That wasnt enough power so after a couple years of owner ship i took hold of a 2002 Nogaro Blue S4 which i did a lot of work to.
    Stage 3+ kit, water/meth injection which made a safe 250kw+ at all fours and had room for more but that was enough cause the torque was fantastic. I had that car for 3 years and loved every bit of it right up until i sold it. Very sad day it was!

    Now after a 2 year absence in a toy, i managed to snap up a rare S2 indeed.
    This vehicle has already been completely RS2 upgraded with manifold, intake, turbo, injectors an tune. larger intercooler and oil cooler, aluminium radiator porsche front brakes and the list goes on.
    I will definitely post pics once i get my hands on it, which will be this saturday.

    I notice there are a few other Aussies on board here which is great to see. Hopefully we will all catch up pretty soon too. I bet you guys will know exactly whos S2 i have snapped up upon reading this...

    Only one thing which is irking me at the moment is that when i test drove it, the car hunts for revs at idle with the a/c on, but drives fine. Any one experience this?

    Probably a dirty connection on the Idle Speed (control) Valve (ISV) - or a dirty ISV. Here is some reading for you: http://forums.quattroworld.com/s4s6/msgs/21853.phtml


    YES, photos are mandatory. Please post when you get your S2.

                  No that is Graham's old car. The new owner is on here rebuilding that car but I can't find the tread right now (on my phone)

                    Yes, Karl decided it was time to part with his toy, after sooo many years in his trusted possession. He has taken great care of this car

                    lets try these pics again...

                    this one is a recent one:



                    and these are old ones. The engine bay has changed a fair bit since this shot was taken

                      Welcome mate, congrats on the purchase. You're definately at the right place for help and info.

                      As for the idle prob I would def check the ISV plug and try giving the unit a clean.

                        That car is indeed going through a rebuild, and frankenmotor up front. I will hopefully have it finished this year sometime, would be awesome for an S2 meet up in Syd.
