Looking on Pistonheds and found this

[dog]

S2 Dave, Just want to have something again that I know and understand, I know there's not much diffrence between them both distributer/coils, battery locations etc (IIRC),

[spink]

Indeed, it looks that way.

are you doing that pin swap with the 3b loom then?

[S2_Dave]

how is it illegal to run without cats on a aby if they pass a mot its legal

That's one thing off the list of advantages then. I thought it was pretty difficult to legitimately get below the emissions threshold without cats, but that it doesn't matter pre-92ish.

Welcome back matt, I knew it wouldnt be too long til you'd be replace the old vectra catch you on MSN tomorrow

Why prefer the 3B though? The spacious engine bay? The super-strong ARV 'box? The single coil allowing for unlimited upgrade potential?

The advantages for me are that 3B's are lighter, with a lighter flywheel and can legally run without cats. Are there any others? Oh, and they only come in Coupe form (unless I'm mistaken ).

[4WheelDrifter]

Oh yeah? In that case abandoned putting the ABY loom and coilpacks in then

back Matt.

I had the choice and prefered the 3B.

@ the high price comment.

How come you prefer 3B's to ABY's? Not knocking 3B's, as I have one (not for sale though), but I thought most people prefered ABY's.

as it is Grant at AET turbos that is selling it.

Small world...I had an email from him last week about their VT102-6, VT K26/27 Hybrid Turbo's :mischeif:

Back to the S2 for sale - its just up the road from me, i might have a sniff and let u know what its like..

[sherv]

tricky one as UR's and RHD RS2's are rare so are going to push prices up for good ones. If you're a buyer it sucks of course. I payed top whack for my wagon but as they say, something is worth what someone is willing to pay. I've put 10,000 miles on mine this year and am still planning to drive it. That's what it's for. No disrespect but I don't understand the people who brag about lowest mileage, perfect condition cars they don't really drive.

There is something very special and unique about the S2, RS2 etc etc that's why we're on here

[Jonas_R]

When I bought my S2 3 years ago I paid around 14000£ for it.

So please dont wine about high prices for an old car

Did I forget to mention that we pay 180% in a car taxed to the goverment

So I bought the car in Germany for 5000£ and then 9000£ in tax. Now that sucks big time

[Acidburn]

Even at that price its good value for money, I got mine for a good price with alot of new bits on it and have not regretted it
