my opinion exactly:tup:

unless ofcourse you could afford it and did want to drive it :rock:
waste of a musuem piece but a hell of a good way to use a car :lol:

this is the one!
nicest noggy blue RS2 in the UK and they do this (sorry if the owner is on here, but you should have gone to Specsavers!)

I do believe he's put it back to standard wheels as I think my opinion was mirrored by many who saw it.

fair does it must have seemed a good idea when he was drunk cos thats the only reason I can imagine that would have led to those wheels on that car. :hand:

And when I say drunk I mean very very very drunk. The sort of drunk you get when you wake up in the morning and ask yourself if you really did kop off with that rank ugly munter. Beer goggles to the ready

I think I might go on a one man mission tonight and get totally bladdered as the missus is out, and then look back at these pics later on and see if it looks any better.

Just to see if your theory is right! Kinda like a scientific experiment!!!

well to make sure the experiment is statistically robust you'll need to repeat the experiment 20 times. This should give you a good data set to work from :tup:

Just make sure you don't inadvertently kop of with any minging munters mind you :hand:

In the words of Dolly Parton herself, "It cost a lot of money to look this cheap". I think the original 17" wheels can't be improved on when it comes to the RS2. Same applies to the ur quattro. 15" x 8" Ronals every time, or the 15" x 7" Fuchs on the early analogue dash cars. Love the RS2 in RS Blue, though. Iconic.

Interesting Comments
 

Thankyou for all the positive comments. It is the AVPerformance car that Ben Williamson has worked on and on which about £15K has been lavished and which I allow Ben to take to the various meets to help him showcase his business.

Coxy I looked at M799 KPG when Roy was selling and decided against purchase as the interior was not as good as mine, plus it was still on original Dunlops when I saw it and there was some rear bumper damage

To answer a few questions:
PAINTWORK
Previous owner had before purchase from Fontains (we all know who they are) insisted on stone chips being removed on bonnet & bumper. They did the bumper, bonnet, front wings. They older chap hadn't noticed that that there was a slight mismatch in colour (I could see this in bright sunlight), they had stopped at the doors and also hadn't really bothered to get rid of the stone chips as I could just see them under the paint where the paint had sunk.

I sourced the boot spoiler from Germany, so at same time decided to have the front end done properly. The paintshop got a bit carried away and did more of the car than was originally intended and yes it is most of the car. Needless to say it was spot on workmanship. Only bit I didn't like was the bill.

MECHANICS:
Not a QST, MTM or MRC upgrade.
If any one knows Ben Williamson of www.avperformance.co.uk then enough said. If not read the latest Audi Drivers magazine on the B5 RS4 engine. This guy knows his stuff. Ben has gone through the car from front to back and everything has been sorted 100% and improved where possible. The engine was fine apart from a slight valve stem leak, so with this in mind and wanting more power and a better power delivery I decided on the engine work, needless to say this has been achieved very succesfully at a price (I have been a bit conservative on the cost)

This is a very nice car and the second RS2 I've owned, so I know a lot of their faults. ie handbrake, brakes, turbo delay/surge, aircon, etc etc. I have also owned a standard S2 and a Nothelle N300. I physically looked at three RS2's before this one and had the car mechanically inspected prior to purchase.

The car is currently back with Ben at AVPerformance as I have a list of work that I want completing which includes HID lights, new PAS pump, an extra SS silencer back in (I like it quiet) and front brake upgrade. If anyone wants to take a look or to check on the work give Ben a call.

I agree the car is not cheap but it is a testament to its condition. I don't really want to sell the car and I won't be that bothered if it doesn't, as I know I will never be able to replace it again. Ben might not forgive me

the car is indeed stunning, shortarse showed it me a few months back ....best one i've seen by far:tup:
