The rise of a Lady - or - The first Audi A2 build thread on s|w

Thanks god tuv is not so strict in Lithuania. You just need to be able to drive onto the platform which is not very high. Of course i cannot do that now, since my limo is 37mm off the ground

Hey guyze, some tweaking happened in october!

First: Ghetto-Style whitening of my winter steelies.














Second: Then after that some luxury on the inside: Steering wheel with new leather, Audi-S5-Style-speedometer (with hanging pointers!), cupholder in the back and a tray below tha handbrake lever.

looks good, but i think you should go air. you can drop it on its nuts, and raise it to proper height when you need the TUV (which im guessing is the inspection place) to approve it.

[Nagah]

Yes you are right: TÜV is the inspection place in Germany.

I thought a lot about going air in the beginning. But put it aside because of three issues:

- There is no "plug & play" solution available for that car which is big problem number 1 since this is my daily and I cannot put it out of order even for a couple of days.
- No "plug & play" means custom made which again means that I need the okay of TÜV (= expensive because lots of testing and paperwork needs to be done)
- I need to drive a car with such a kind of airride first. Because the coilovers that are currently mounted are a pure pleasure to drive and I would never pay a lot of money to get a car that handles worse. But I do not know a single person that owns custom airride.


That does not mean that it will never happen, it is just put back when theres nothing else to do. (And before that there is an engine to look at )

[ryanjblajda]

ah. that sucks. =/ but you're happy with it so thats really all that matters.

[Nagah]

Thanks mate!

I am currently selling my wheels to get some 18"

Also these two beauties are going to get a new coat of leather to match my steering wheel. I am so stoked!

[PedroM]

[Nagah]

Thank you Pedro!

[Nagah]

Parts are back! I am so stoked about it.

[Nagah]

Finally! Wheel choice is done! I just ordered a set of these in 8x18 offset 48 with spacers:







Now I am so totally broke. But it's so worth it!

Hehe, yes I believe that. As far as I know these were only sold in Germany for 5 years and discontinued after then.

Anyone know the name of the wheels on the silver audi a2. ??

If you mean this one:



These are "ABT Sportfelge V1" 7x17 offset 30 from ABT (German VAG Tuner)
