As some of you already know I recently bought my first ever S2 a few weeks ago Emerald Green MTM tuned 3b Coupe which a few forum members have owned previously over the years.
While I wait for a few jobs to be completed which the seller agreed I was looking out for other parts or even a spare s2 and this one popped up on ebay
92 J reg in brilliant Black with 129k miles a little tatty around the body and interior a little ropey but mechanically it runs sweet.
Having a look around it you can see the driver rear end looks like its had a shunt at some point (poorly repaired) which explains the cat c marker it had on 2008 but with prices out the roof and parts so hard to find I thought it would be ideal as a spare car along side the Emerald green.
The 100 mile drive home was fun, the engine note is just awesome and handled pretty well in the country lanes. This is in standard form with only what looks to be a scorpion stainless exhaust system to front and it still pulled well, I can't wait to get behind the wheel of my MTM tuned S2 now which is pushing out over 300bhp and also has AP racing calipers (standard brakes are absolute *****)
Anyways today it was cleaned up a little and I had to get them 19" wheels swapped for something more suitable so I started looking in the usual places (ebay facebook gumtree etc) I got lucky and found a set of OEM 16" Avus wheels not to far from home for a bargain price of £60 yes you heard £60 lol
Some before and after pictures below
And now with 16" Avus alloys
Now that it has the correct size wheels on it I think it should drive much better. I will look to upgrade the brakes oh and sort the ABS fault it has once I get some spare time.
Let me know what you guys think
