Is this thing uncorked yet?

Still waiting for an unreliable tuner guy. Just need this last thing done then I can move on to someone else. He says its ready to go, but I can't get him to send me the file to flash. So, who knows.

I went through every single canbus channel one by one trying to feed ...

This thing was a hoot to see at Carlisle. Amazing work!
Thanks again! - made it from/to buffalo about 6 hours each way without a single hiccup, which is most definitely a record for any of my fresh builds haha. Averaging 21mpg while putting the foot into it quite a few times, that's pretty ...

I think when I swap the engine in the new cq I am just going to do away with the stock psp and put an electric one in instead. It means getting one shipped from the UK but the actual unit is cheap and I've seen people fit them under the back end of s2's to help distribute weight better.
This is ...

Got brakes, suspension etc on last week and took this thing for an alignment and got it inspected and on the road. Still sorting minor issues here and there, but we’re getting there. Couple suspension bumps and clunks I hunted down, bumper got zip tied on with about 100 zip ties cuz its all busted ...

Regular bumper is better. I'm unsure about American bumpers but Uk s2 bumpers can be trimmed to get decent space. I had a s2 cabriolet for a while and there was enough space for a front mount intercooler, radiator and aircon radiator behind the bumper.

There's all sorts you can do with the coupe ...

Anyone got a set of forged control arms? I’m looking for another set so I don’t have to replace bushings in my stamped ones. I’d rather upgrade the tears at the same time.

I already have a home-made one on the car, but its WAY vibratey above mid-2nd gear. That definitely won't work. haha.

Thanks guys. I agree with regular bumper as well.

Got my driveshaft today, and after stating the lengths many times (38” rear to center bearing, 22.25” front portion) I got a driveshaft wth 25” front portion. Looks like I probably won't be able to make Carlisle now - was really amped on heading ...

Well over the recent weeks I've gotten the heat exchanger and welded up mounts to the radiator and packaged that up nicely, it just BARELY fits with the grille/bumper on, had to do a lot of trimming. I'm hoping an RS2 bumper will leave a bit more room for this.

Look forward to seeing this driving around Buffalo.

If you need any help etc with info on removing trims and stuff i've had quite a few s2's/coupe's over the years.

What else you got planned once its running?

Yo! Where are you from?

As far as plans, get it tuned and running great (will have to ...

Did you ever get this sorted?

Havnt even tried yet. Haha. I will take a day sometime soon to get this, oil pressure and fuel level to read right. I just haven’t taken the time to get back into it.

4.0t inner cv, to b5 outer cv custom length axles all the way around. Shipping out to have them copied in HyTuff alloy. Was quoted 1.5-2 week turnaround. It’s getting real.

So this week I was really feeling like getting caught up on some things that I hadn’t gotten to but reallly were bothering me. Last Friday 2 friends came over, had some beers and removed the headliner and sunroof etc, broke a lot of old brittle interior trim while at it.

I replaced the metal ...

That's the ticket!

Great idea and the fabrication looks very good (I was tempted to say easy but stopped as it would take me quite a while!).

Thanks, I got a few of the welds a little hot, but that’s fine with me. My first time fabricating anything with this new welder, and I love having the capability to do ...

How do they compare on length at stock mounting position? Does it affect which axles and propshaft(s) you can use?

11” wide vs 11.75” wide at the flanges. Just measured.

And no, they’re not the same final drive, and I’m sure the b7 one is much stronger.

Diff is the same length, same axle/driveshaft flanges, but the output flanges are slightly wider. Not much. Maybe 1/3” each. MIGHT be able to ...

I too can’t wait to see this thing driving. Everything about this project is winning.

If you need custom axles I used RCV Performance to make the ones for Quattromog. Top quality product and lifetime guarantee. Hard to beat that.

Excellent thanks. I’ll look into them! I’ll definitely be doing ...

Yeah I’ve never had a problem with them before, at 760+ ftlbs, so here’s to hoping!

How much bigger is the B5S4 CV than the Cq?

Awesome progress! I can't wait to see videos of this thing on the road!

Me too! Right now I’m working on figuring out axles. I’ve fit b7 and b5 s4 front axles in the front spindles, and b5 s.4th rears bolt right up. I am working with DSS to utilize their b5 cv/hub upgrades, and the s8 inner cv’s ...

Finished up the turbo inlets, radiator and fans, 2700cfm was able to fit on the surface of the radiator. Hope that’s enough. Also slipped on 2 resonators and 2 mufflers to see what they sound like. Also finished up installing the instrument cluster, still working out the bugs but it’s working pretty ...

yes distributor adjustment should be able to take care of that, sounds like maybe firing order is off? I would be surprised if the distributor was that far out of whack.

wow, that is something! Never seen that before.

Ahh okay, misunderstood. That was my quick thought without a manual in front of me...
Yeah, I've chased the wiring diagrams, I just can't quite figure out where the signal originaltes from. I assume its through the switch, but mine only has 5-6 volts, so it can't trigger a relay. I'm trying a new ...
