    Why yes, yes indeed. I always keep the old block, rods and pistons in the boot incase I feel like going back to how it was

      Yeah cos it helps reduce the understeer too lol

      Not a bad article - nice to see something current about our old gems - the S2 isn't perfect - no car is but I defy anyone to buy something that old with as much potential to embarrass an awful lot of modern day sports cars... Not in stock form but I love Andy's comment - stealth and surprise is the secret weapon (when not changing coil packs, chasing boost leaks, melting clutches, wet footwell and disco Dave tail lights).

            I've a copy of Audi Driver from about 1998 containing an S2 write up as well if you want, and one with an article on Kim's cabby. Might be a long wait though as it's up at my folks.

                I would be very interested in the article on Kim's cabby if you still have it?
