    Thinking of selling my S2!

    Im thinking of selling my S2 although i really really do not want to Time has come where i have to seriously think about growing up and getting a house of my own. Here is the spec:
    -1993 K Reg ABY Indigo pearl blue coupe
    -MOT June 2010, tax December 09
    -195k miles
    -Black leather interior good condition
    -Air Con
    -Recently had an RS2 Turbo, RS2 Manifold, RS2 Injectors, RS2 Intercooler and Crossmember fitted by Aelred from here, along with new cambelt, water pump and tentioners (about 500 miles ago)
    -ECU Remap by S2central.net on here (approx 350hp)
    -3'' Catback exhaust with cat bypass pipes by longlife, with twin oval pipes
    -Just had new konis and h&r springs fitted about 500miles ago
    -Brand new 034 track density engine mounts, tranny mounts and diff mounts fitted by Anton on here
    -New powerflex wishbone bushes and diff mount bush fitted by Anton from here
    -Had a 4 wheel alignment performed just before GTI
    -Coils were replaced a few years back with brand new items. These have now done approx 10k miles
    -Brand new BBS wheels fitted with good tyres all round
    -HI-Spec Monster 4 pot brakes reapinted with s2 decals on
    -Spark plugs replaced less than 50 miles ago
    -Detailed on a regular basis with the best products so looks stunning (apart from the bit of rust on the door )
    -New rear discs and caliper and pads fitted not long ago

    Bad Points:
    Sometimes get a high pitch squeel on full boost, Aelred believes its an induction noise but the car still goes superbly.
    The Heater matric will need doing at some point as rad weld has rwice plugged holes in it. I do have a new heater matrix and im hoping to get it fitted very soon
    The good old speedo faces are peeling and making the needle stick, plpasmas will sort this.
    The old alarm interfeers with the indicators sometimes and makes both flash when turning left or right. If u take the fuse out for this then it is fine (although this stops the central locking from working)

    Thats it im sure ihave missed loads of bits that i have had done but ill update if i think of anything. Price wise im looking for 5k as it is. I think that is a fair price if not i will keep it as i dont want to sell

    Thats an issue with the wiring for the central locking for both indicators to flash, its recently been mentioned yet again on audifans. Could try next time it does it wiggling the wiring/checking the wiring around the central locking pump (located behind the door card on the drivers side rear.

                      a very wise move mate,i can asure you that,you're doing the right thing.is very hard to let go of something you love,but cars are always going to be around.it very important to get on the housing ladder, otherwise you'll miss the boat.

                        I don't get it Steve, you've only just got it back and got the upgrades done, don't you want to drive it for a while?

                              Obviously family and commitments come first - hate to say it, but my S2 would be up for sale if I needed to! But house ownership is over-rated, I'll only ever buy when/if prices are sensible again or I win the lottery. Keep the car if that's the only reason to get rid of it, you've put so much in already :mischeif:
