Although I am not a memeber of the dark side I have come across your build thread on my visits.
Great to see a good recap on such a fantastic quality build. As ever, can't wait to see it in action!

I can't believe it's been over a year since I last posted on this thread! There is still much to do with a build which is now three years in. However, there has been a lot of unseen work done on the car (including running down blind alleyways and then coming back to the drawing board with all the expense that involves). One of the most difficult decisions has been to junk the Audi Sport tubular wishbones with aluminium sliders and go in favour of the 034 Motorsport items instead.
The difficulty has only been a financial one because the six Audi units were not cheap. However, they could be finding their way onto a couple of road cars instead. This could be a blessing in disguise with the RR quattro as the OEM front ball-joints are NLA. So, the new 034 wishbones are a direct fit and have the benefit of utilising the standard S2 balljoints. Above and beyond this, they have additional adjustment for castor/camber which the Audi units didn’t. Further 034 Motorsports additions have been the rear tie rods with spherical bearings, which add a bit of sexiness to the unpainted rear under the car and the engine, gearbox and diff mounts from the same source. A new FIA requirement is that oil lines which run through the inside of car are contained within a conduit. These has now been fabricated from the engine bay dry sump to the oil tank in the boot. One of the biggest departures we are planning from the standard Audi engine layout is the water radiator which is going directly in front of the engine rather than to the side. Heat was always a problem with these engines and getting enough airflow to the radiator was even known to get Audi into trouble on rallies when they tried to have a secret flap in the headlamp void which opened up to let more in. So, our intention is to run a front mounted intercooler with a water radiator directly behind it (as per the Lancia Delta). This beautiful item has now been made for us and it looks like it will do the business! Making this fit has been a concern as there isn’t a lot of space at the bottom of the engine. Therefore, we are using an AAN crank pulley which is the shortest harmonic damper that Audi made for the I5 engine. This gives us significantly more room than the standard ABY crank pulley did. Inside the car there has been much work done to find out where everything is going to go. A bit of cardboard goes a long way to developing the dashboard. Meanwhile, the exhaust has been pushed upwards as far as possible to get it away from the gravel that will be beneath it. We already have the 4” diameter exhaust tunnel added to the side of the transmission tunnel and now the bulkhead has been cut away to allow the down-pipe to enjoy more intrinsic protection rather than hanging down too far. At the back of the car, the fuel tank has been installed and the routing for the swirl pot, fuel pumps and filters is now being finalised along with the spare wheel post. The front of the car is now being sorted and the sump guard fitting is being looked at. The (two) sets of Matter front tubes which were bought are being ‘junked’ now too as we look at building our own frontal cross-members out of T45 rather than the aluminium used in the Matter units. Finally, I’ve been busy playing with the Saxo in the past year and have made consistent improvements in results with a fairly basic rally car. After completing four tarmac stages I’ve recently secured my first ‘Top 20’ finish and last summer I won the highest improvement in seeding award on the Speyside stages which was my first gravel event in the forest. Taking 1.5 minutes out of a Subaru 2ltr turbo 4x4 across 40 miles of forest stages with a basic 1.6ltr 2wd Saxo gives me a bit of hope for the future in a quattro!

You can find out more about these control arms on the 034 site: http://www.034motorsport.com/chassis...s-p-21985.html Everybody who has seen them has commented positively and every 034 customer I know of has been seriously impressed with them. However, if you happen to be a senior engineer for M-Sport in their design department then please feel free to advise further.
