The 5 spoke 3 piece rims are called ETA Beta Turbo Wheels (18"). The multispoke rims are Porsche (BBS) Sport Classic wheels (17")

so what are the plans for your car?Comment

Glad you asked as there's quite a list
I am currently planning a full timing belt renewal as I'm not confident leaving it as it is. I ordered the crank locking tool off ebay germany and will be getting all the parts needed and doing a full change on every single part such as idler pulley and what not.
In future I'm planning on going RS2 Spec (Currently collecting parts) and if I come to the UK for ADI in October and possibly get JP @ JNL to do some headwork on my car
Currently running a whiteline RARB on the stiffest setting with new drop links, RS2 FARB with RS2 drop links (thicker) and KW V1 coilovers, brakes up front are 996 4 pots with new 304x30discs and DS2500 pads, as for the rear, I'm not sure if they even work
I've had the following done:
New brake bomb
Fuel filter change
New handbrake cables
Coil Packs + Spark Plugs (Coming up for renewal)
Front CV boots (RH side spewed grease recently all over my wheel and stained it
)
Diff Seals (Both Sides)
Clutch Kit change (After pressure plate failing leaving me stranded
)
RS2 Gearknob
New Fog Lamps (Old ones were faded)
Radiator is new (Nissens crap)
Condenser is new
Compressor is new (But noisy and aircon isn't working)
Engine, gearbox and diff mounts (OEM)
A few things on my mind:
Full Timing belt renewal
New Oil Cooler
Wagner EM and IC
Iroz Motorsport Downpipe and RS2 Turbo
RS2 Injectors
RS2 Fuel Pump
Newly built exhaust form the downpipe back
Diff Hanger Bush
Recaro Seats
Refurb on the 18" ETA Beta Turbo Wheels
One of these

Rear Brake Upgrade
Renew the fuel lines
Maybe an RS2 airbox
New headlight reflectors (stonechips etc)
Front end respray possibly due to stone chips on the bonnet and the bumper has paint peeling off in the headlight washers
)
Other than that, I still need to get subframe bushes front & rear and I also still need to change my wishbone bushes (superflex)
Still a long way to go!

It's what the car came with and I replaced with the same, I believe the brackets used were RS2 ones so I couldn't fit anything larger.Originally posted by rxl View Postwhy the 304 brakes?

I have a diff hanger bush already but thanks for the offer
I will have some photos of the interior up some time, it's the only part of the car I never take photos of
. Exterior is staying standard S2 as I prefer it like that with the silver colour

Almost time to get the timing, water pump etc done, projected list of jobs whilst this is being done:
A new wagner intercooler to be fitted
Snub mount to arrive soon from Andy
New belts all around
Taking my a/c compressor off to hopefully have the noise it's making resolved and maybe stick it back in whilst the front end is off.
Put on the shiny new camcover with a new gasket as it is leaking a fair bit
New Bosch FR5DP spark plugs.
Clean ISV
New Cam Sensor
Have a boost leak test after all this is done and check if the car is still turning itself off whilst travelling.
Need a new 3 inch exhaust system fabbed up as mine is all bent.
Then RS2 Spec
After this fit the brake upgrade from Pete and have all new brake fluid bled in, got about 2 litres to properly flush. Quite a lot of work but hopefully in a few months it will all be ready 
Meanwhile, I've had a whole Saturday off for cleaning and touching my S2 and making it all shiny.
After a few hours, result:

Remember to also flush the hydraulic pipe leading to the clutch slave cylinder on your gearbox.
Car looks a good as ever, but not fond of your spare BBS cross spoke rims tbh.
Splits are very nice.
Looking forward to your feedback when it is done, and then done again after the RS2 spec is put in place. ( I am assuming your are doing it in two stages ??… )
