Hello, I realize I am a bit out of place here as we did not receive any productions S2's. In order to amend this problem, I am turning my 90' Coupe Quattro into an s2 clone. My previous build was an a1 vw gti, However I am excited to learn about a new machine.
As I said my previous build was an a1 gti. I used it mostly for track days, all in all I think I had 4 different engine combinations in that car before I sold it. I sold it as a Motronic aba-t. I Spent ENTIRELY too much money on it. Anyways heres a few pictures of my new coupe, and its new power plant. I bought this car as a graduation gift to myself... Yet I have a year left. So, That being said There will be little to no progress on the car for quite some time. I will go through the engine and prep it for the swap. However, thats as far untill I get my pricey little piece of paper.
The goals are very simple for this build. 400 bhp s2 Clone.
I am thinking I will swap in the 3b s2 harness and ecu I have purchased to get the car running/ start enjoying. After that is going, I will rebuild the stock 7a with forged rods and lower compression pistons, mate that to a gt3071 or '76 and proceed. If any of you guys have input im all ears. Like i said the next few years will be largley part collecting and learning. Then I will start the real work.
I am up in the air as to build the 3b or 7a. The main goal being that I actually drive and enjoy this car. I was always rebuilding/ upgrading my rabbit and in the end it made it un-enjoyable.
Seriously! the 7a currently in the car is at 253,xxx and still ticking. The 3b I will be dropping in is half that milage.
So, my buddy just confirmed he will be painting my car. I really want to keep the white pearl, but the other half is taking into deep consideration LZ5M Nogaroblau.
All the s2 clones around me are pearl. I really don't know how I feel about changing the car color as I would probably not have the time to take out the engine and have the bay sprayed. I just don't know how annoyed I would be, or how the unsprayed bay would effect resale.
Put the 7a cams in while you are replacing the timing belt & valve cover gasket.
Not a bad idea at all. I was planning on just dropping in the 3b as is. Seems kind of foolish not to replace the timing belt when I think bout it however. Pretty cheap insurance policy on my valves. Plus I would get the experience on the engine. Looks like S2 bumpers (front and rear) will be coming my way sometime next week. So I got that going for me, which is nice.
