No not yet. Waiting for my slot at Nogsport Wink

No rush as mine still running Ok (just using oil now)

Hopefully will be in late this year or early next.

BORING!! i cant believe you have over looked the twin turbo v10 from the new rs6. to me your wasting your time with this 5pot malarky Laughing

should be top with a 20v in fella and of coarse i would hope its not going in there without a tubular and an exhaust with a good deal of growl Twisted Evil

Could always get Bez to weld 2 7A's together to make a V10 Laughing

Getting quite excited now at the thought of having a 7A again. Loved my CQ20V and, as you say, the growl is superb. Initially will leave the 2.5" Jetex system on but if necessary, will look at other options. Had a custom made one on my CQ20V and that was nice.

Not sure about which manifold is on the donor engine as not seen it yet.

likewise with my car. it now has a 7a under the bonnet courtesy of Nogsports and some would say so what, why spend that amount of money on a fwd coupe.

but, its my fwd coupe and its now looking tip top, sounds tip top and handles like a dream. shame its got power issues right now! (soon to be rectified) Laughing

and as above, do it owen. Super

For the record and sorry to rob your thread Owen but Darryl has the best FWD suspension set up ever needed without killing the ride, not cheap but the car is very chuckable and behaves really well Cool

Swap ya

Thanks to mikes2 today I now have the plastic covers for the inside of the rear lights. In addition, I have a very good drivers wing despite it trying it's best to stay attached to the donor car Laughing

Also have the split folding seatbacks in the samecolour as my interior. Were a sod to get out so now hope they will fit. On this topic, does anyone know what the cable is for that runs through the seat hinges?

Hope to fit these shortly Very Happy

Air pipes for the central locking (lock the seat backs in place).

Complete PITA when it goes wrong!

only just seen this! headbang

cheers Nog, for others info its the KW 1 coilovers on my coupe. The car handles like its on rails. There is very little body roll and feels very solid and stable at speed. I know this as i hammered it back from Nogsport on the M6 toll last night! Twisted Evil

sorry for the thread hijack Owen. Wink

Ahh thanks for that. Wondered if it was to do with that but seemed to be separate from the green door pipes.

Posted: Sun Nov 08, 2009 12:00 pm

No worries Wink

Wish I had them on my 80 but quite expensive new - Have got Audi OEM sports springs and shocks to go on. Very Happy

Had a bit of a set back today. Removed the standard rear seats for a look at fitting the split folding type but unfortunately, on mine, the side mounts are just not there. Neither are the mounts at the top for the pins that the seats clamp to.

I do have the four centre holes (no captive nuts but that could be overcome) but think this is going to be a major issue. Sad

Well poor little spiro is off to scrap soon, if you want to come down and pull the bits needed off then feel free.

Posted: Sun Nov 15, 2009 8:21 pm

I have most of the bits but it's where to mount them? Not sure I really want to start drilling holes and welding in mounts just for seats.

They really would be useful though - decisions decisions.

Thanks for the offer BTW Wink

You can probably get some nuts welded for the floor brackets.

It's the side brackets and holes which may be a problem.

I'm sure you can take an angle grinder to the spares car if needed

Posted: Sun Nov 15, 2009 10:08 pm

That's might be the only option Mike. It's the side ones that concern me most. Might have to grind them off the donor car and then weld to mine.

Dear Bez..... Laughing

Just a thought but the title to this thread will need to be changed in the not to distant future Owen Cool

Posted: Fri Dec 11, 2009 9:56 pm

either that or Owen is dyslexic...

Posted: Fri Dec 11, 2009 10:44 pm

It certainly will Nog Very Happy

Will start a new thread for Titan - The sequel Laughing

Posted: Sat Dec 12, 2009 11:23 am

Looking forward to this enormously, if it gets the attention Titan did it will be a very special car indeed.

Posted: Tue Dec 29, 2009 10:08 am

Istoo, it's Titan thats having the transplant and we are using your engine Laughing

Owen, if you get chance could you give me your gearbox code? Thankyou Very Happy

Posted: Tue Dec 29, 2009 1:05 pm

Certainly, it's screaming Banshee 001! Laughing

Looking at the data sticker it says CSV, would that be it?

Posted: Tue Jan 05, 2010 4:51 pm

Well guys and gals, take a good look at this

It's not going to look like that for much longer Very Happy

Posted: Tue Jan 05, 2010 4:56 pm

Happy new year. What do you mean? Are you planning to make a conversion? What will you put? Cool

Posted: Tue Jan 05, 2010 5:10 pm

Happy new year to you too sir Wink

VERY soon it will be getting a 7A 2.3 20v with matching suspension and gearbox. Very Happy

Posted: Tue Jan 05, 2010 5:23 pm

Wow, very cool conversion and nice engine. Smile

Iam planning to put the 1.8T on mine soon. Cool

Posted: Tue Jan 05, 2010 6:31 pm

Happy new year Smile
