Idle curiosity.....cq into S2?

[Dave Pisciotta]

The definitive source on this conversion would be Brandon Hull's site.  He 
did it with a 3B, and was kind enough to put together an excellent site 
documenting his conversion, including parts numbers, etc. The early S2's 
used the 3b, the later ones used the AAN.  As far as the drivetrain goes its 
up to you.  Thus far Brandon has retained the 5spd gearbox of the coupe, and 
originally had the 4 bolt hubs, etc.  I think he either upgraded or is in 
the process of the 5 bolt conversion.  3B is definitely more economical, but 
then again, the AAN just has more potential.  The block, etc. are the same 
as the RS2 which I beleive was engine code ABY.  This leaves the door open 
for RS2 Turbo, intercooler, EM, etc.  Plus the AAN is motronic.  Downside is 
higher initial cost, parts scarcity, and parts prices....ex. I think just 
the cylinder head for a AAN is around 3500.  As far as sheet metal goes its 
basically a bolt on affair.  Hope this helps, and please feel free to 
correct any errors I may have made.
