A friend has a well sorted one and I'll be taking it out for a thras - um, er - "test drive" next weekend, which will make it a good back-to-back comparison with the RS2 a dealer in Bucks is getting in next week.

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I'm still getting the hang of moving off smoothly in first gear
I nearly bought an RS2 instead of my Lotus Carlton. I found that many for sale didn't have their original spec drilled brake discs.
Never even test drove one in the end. Driven my dad's S2 a lot, and it is quite a tidy handler with decent build. Another 100 bhp over his would help, so the RS2 should do the business.
The engine is quite highly tuned, so make sure it all works properly. Don't go for a tuned one - sound like trouble.
Which dealer in Bucks? I'm not going to poach it from you, but would be interested to know.
For sale:
1 Porsche 968CS, speed yellow, M030 pack, seats retrimmed by Hide&Fidelity in dark grey Momo hide, Alpine Stereo (also H&F). FPSH. £4.50 genuine reason for low price as car requires:
New windscreen, OSF window, wing mirror, A and B pillars,floorpan, OS seat, seatbelts, OSF&R alloys, brakes, suspension components, indicator repeater, headlight. NSR panelwork, NSR alloy, NSR suspension components.
Car also has attractive "BMW Blue metallic" stripes to offside rear panel and "hedgerow green" accents to nearside. Feature lamppost grey metallic area to front.
You'll gather dad's comfortable enough for serious annoyance to have set in. Sorry Dom.
If its the same one, I spoke to that dealer in bucks abouth that RS2 (was it RHD?) Looked really nice, price seems very competitive if its the same one (£19995?). Slightly high mileage though. For what its worth I reckon they are fantastic, I had a go in one once and was great.
It is a RHD one, but the price is a fair bit lower than £20k - given that Audi want £26k for the one they have in pearl white (eurgh!), I'm happy with the asking price depending on condition etc. Plus I'm told I can buy a warranty from Audi for £600 that is in fact worth the paper it's written on, which should help in negotiating the dealer price downwards.

I am selling my Audi RS2 at the moment. It has been in topmarques magazine for the past couple of weeks. it is a fantastic motor in amazing condition. very dark green. 65000miles very good condition. i am swaping it for a farm.
Thanks for the offer, RS2, but I bought the one I drove that weekend. I have seen yours in Top Marques and it looks like a good 'un. I'm still getting the hang of moving off smoothly in first gear
I'm looking into swapping my 1993 Audi S4 for an Audi RS2, as the (ahem) "practical" car, in addition to a Porsche GTS and an MX5. A friend has a well sorted one and I'll be taking it out for a thras - um, er - "test drive" next weekend, which will make it a good back-to-back comparison with the RS2 a dealer in Bucks is getting in next week.
Has anyone got any good or bad personal stories about the RS2? Somewhat of a long shot, but has anybody recently come across any RHD RS2s for sale?
