My Green 94 S2 Avant

[doffer]

Here are some pictures of my S2, Ive done some minor upgrades to it, but there is more to come.. Got the Big Reds on. changed the grille to blackout, and I have the Asa Ar1 18" rims.. Some smaller things like a new grille badge and a brand new rear badge has also found its way on the car, but I dont have pictures of them just yet.. A new Hummer H3 antenna is on the way in the mail..
Sadly the car is standing still right now, take a look at the last pictures....
I havent done to many things to the engine yet, but Im considering some major upgrades...

Thanks, and yes thats right, the spark plug came loose,¨and was shot up into the coil.. I think I have to change the whole "topp" or whatever its called. Some people say I can just make new threads for the spark plug, but I dont know....

I love the wheels, they really suit it.
Do you know where you can get the grill from as I am after one myself

You can also use a timesert. There are a few threads regarding it on here.

Doug_RS2 of MRC fame has a thread of his engine rebuild as this happened to him.

Audiman also one I believe but in a block ( can't remember if it was a timesert or helicoil )

Yes I know of helicoil, but I havent heard to much about it, and Im not sure if they can handle the pressure...
