Re: Sud S3 rear wheel arch repair panels

Hi Tim - I'm not sure if there ever were 2dr/4dr specific panels to be honest so I suspect the pair you have may have been the only ones available unless anyone knows differently? Are you open to selling yours?

Momo boss adaptor cover and S3 light surrounds

Bit of a long shot perhaps but for my Sud I'm after a Momo steering wheel boss adaptor cover - the rubber bellows part that goes over the adaptor - I've probably thrown several away years and years ago! I've fired off various emails to UK stockists but no luck so far. Also, a pair of S3/Green Clover...

Re: 1.7 and 1.2 Cranks + 1.7 heads

Thanks both - I did reply several weeks ago with a thanks to your tip off Tim but the message seems not to be here.

Dad spoke to Dave and he does indeed want a 64mm stroke crank. I've since put the 1200 crank and heads on the dreaded Ebay - I'm sure they will go in time!

Hi, Possibly a bit of a long shot but I'm after a pair of S3 Ti headlamp assemblies - backing plate, surround and lights themselves. If it came to it then not so fussy about the lights themselves!

Re: Screamer.

It was driven by Jonathan Walter but it didn't get used much in the UK, I think they (Bridge Motorsport) tended to take it over to Spa and Zandvoort a couple of times a year. I think part of the kit (probably the arches) was Alfastyl.

I doubt you could build the engine and box for 12k, never mind the rest of the car. I hope it stays racing, just the sound of these cars makes them worth it. I remember when about 6 of them used to be racing, as well as a couple of fast suds and Tim Lewis Sprint. Wonder what happened to them all (B...

It's had loads of views and no interest to date so I'll get it on the dreaded E-Bay! It'll probably end up on a Saxo which will spend it's evenings in a McDonalds car park with trays under its rear wheels for added oversteer! :D
