[rynaqui]

I love reading this thread Ryan absolutely amazing what you are doing to your gorgeous S2 its the perfect S2 Coupe

Thank you Anthony, I'm hoping to make it into the perfect S2 for myself, getting closer every day

Man I forgot to ask the trimmer since they were in really good condition, they have two weeks or so of shutdown I'll ask if he's still got them and they are all yours :thumbs

That would be cracking mate, and I'll make it worth your while

Let's hope they haven't binned them.

Should think haven't as they were ready just last Thursday

Am working on mine to lots of money being spent but the end result will be worth it full restoration as you know it's in good condition but am a perfectionist lol!! Keep the photos coming

I know what you mean Anthony, real money pit but it's worth it when the car is in a good condition and in the end you can finally enjoy all the hard work, time and money spent

Bit of an update, got the RS2 wheels on finally! Started her up and she idled beautifully today, can't really see what the problem is but I know there's a lot waiting for me once I get the inlet off..leaking injectors and I fear of what is under there but I'm prepared

The wheels look good mate but they sit too far inwards I'd say?

Yep the rears sit a bit too far in, the fronts look great! They are ET35 all round don't want to be running more than 20mm spacers for safety!

[Nuvo]

Oooh nice.

Presumably you running S2 hubs with 112->130 spacer adapters to fit the RS2 cups?

[rynaqui]

Yep that's right . Not sure what it would take to get RS2 hubs fitted but they work fine as they are

Great work ! Look forward to seeing some full car pics with the rs2 cups on .

While it's off the road is there any chance you could grab those mirror pics ?

Cheers Gav

[rynaqui]

Cheers Gav, got some nice pics here and got a pic of what you need but I need to upload it from my mobile . Manifold is on, now just a few more bits & bobs, change the downpipe, MK3 seat rails have been cut and re-welded + sprayed. Tomorrow the seats should be going in and they are looking sweet
