This project is still very alive. Some money and technical difficulties but now cars almost ready for inspection. Oilpan leaked a lot and it took about 100 hours total to get that sorted out.
So car is now in running condition. Its now equipped with 1749V turbo, Yamaha r1 radiator (yes very small). Bigger intercooler than in the lupo and few tweaks here and there.
Weight BOM calculation shows it should weigth 1425 kg at current condition. Target was that 1400 kg which should be quite easy to reach. I will be almost at the target just by changing the front seats to lighter as the A8 originals weigth 31 kg.
