 s:D :D s:D   I guess the rats have also taken the same poison as the car.   s:lol: :lol: s:lol:  

Thanks everyone for the kind words. I've in process of finishing the car up, there are still some minor things I want to get sorted before I can call it "done". After that I will take some better pics and post them here too.

The car really seems to be an attention grabber - peoples heads turn 360 degrees when we drive around the city.  s:lol: :lol: s:lol:  Dunno if it's the color, the kit or just the combination of all...  I just wish the performance would meet the appearance a bit better. I'm fairly happy with our little ride however, it runs pretty smooth (apart from rock stiff D2 suspension) and it is fun to drive. Overtaking would be easier and safer if it would have the extra 50 hp or something like that. My arse just has gotten too used to the 270hp I have on my TTR. Comparing these cars however is a bit difficult. The Audi is a lot more comfy, even with its 19" rubber it is softer and offers the power if needed. Weighs 500kg more tho so you will definately notice that immediately when driving it. I'm happy to have them both - we just need to get something done to MR2 in power wise at some point. I think. The woman who drives it says it is un-necessary but who would you listen to?  s:lol: :lol: s:lol:

Aight, back to work, getting it finalized and shooting photos for you guys.  s:) :) s:)

Yeah, I've been staring one that I have on my TT's trunk lid. That could be pretty close match to start with to get it fit on the top of the rear bumper. I was actually just trying to find one cheap a week ago on TT-Forums but it appears to have some server problem at the moment. Time will tell if I get one in my hands.

However, the car was awarded last saturday on a trackday. Not for a fastest lap or best performance but just looking pretty among the parked cars on the car lot.  s:) :) s:)  I guess I have to be happy on that - even though it wasn't a "real" show event this time.

Thanks everyone for the kind words!  s:) :) s:)  I'll upload some new pics of it soon.

I think the alloys were InterAlloy 17". They came with the car when we bought it, but since the silver didn't match the car I painted the inner part of them with same Yamaha "Dark Smoke" color as the openings on both bumpers. Looks damn lot neater that way if I may say.  s:) :) s:)

Sure you can live without 500hp, but it\'s languishing.

That is one damn fine car you have there.  You must be really pleased with all your efforts.   s:bowdown: :bowdown: s:bowdown:  
I remember seeing a Lambo at the London Motor Show in this sort of colour a few years ago - I loved it then and I still love it now.

Yes, Artec Turbo P 3-piece wheels in 9x19" front and 10x19" rears. I have adapters between wheel hub and rim to convert them from Porsche lug pattern to Audis. I really love the wheels also, I guess they were the biggest reason for me to want just this car out of all TT's for sale. Also it had some bits done already so that made my decision easier. Small warning tho, I've already gone through one differential because of the size difference in tires. I had 245/35 front and 265/30 rear - which was 13mm difference in the actual height of the wheel. That makes several cm's in rolling radius, something that is NOT healthy when the car is 4wd, even if it is with haldex coupling.

I've installed those SRS-Tec bumpers myself, the carbon ribs on them are home brew and the colour is standard Nimbusgrau with added spice under the clear coat (Mipa Phönix sparkling effect). The lovely thing about this is that the flake doesn't show at all when its dark or when looking at the car from shadow side.

Thanks!  s:) :) s:)  Yeah, it is lowered, I have D2 coilovers and its so low that I've already scrubbed that front bumper few times.  s:oops: :oops: s:oops:  I even got softer spring ratios when I bought the kit but it is still really hard ride. Those original struts with lowering springs (which were on the car when bought) were a lot nicer ride so I'm actually bouncing around   s:bounce: :bounce: s:bounce:    s:bounce: :bounce: s:bounce:    s:bounce: :bounce: s:bounce:   with the idea of getting them back in the car or not.

The good thing about D2 suspension being so tight, you do get all of the go-cart feeling when the suspension doesn't flex too much around the bends. Downside of this again is that the rear sometimes gets loose and the car doesn't have the power to drift with spectacular tire smoke around the corners.  s:lol: :lol: s:lol:  Also this is SMT equipped so that makes it a tad more complicated too...
