Mods or no mods?

[fendent]

I wonder who in this forum has a genuine S2. By genuine I mean also Radio and wheels.
I dunno how you guys can offord all these nice upgrades. Or do you just upgrade and not drive your car? My S2 is an everyday car and I drive around 20k miles/year. This costs me a hell of money already.
If money would be no restriction I would definitely do more (Brakes, ARB, improve torque of engine, nice wheels, lighten body). The best, however, would be to install this engine

with regards to mod or no mods
i'm just trying to put right what audi cocked up

brakes(normal ones are the same as the coupe and are scary on the s2 )

exhaust(same as every maker they use mild steel and rot's ask audi for a replacement £1500 for mild steel no thanks,stainless steel lifetime gaurentee
£600 to £700 no contest really)

headlights(standard ones are like candles,so a upgrade to RS2 elipsoids lights
works out cheaper in the end )

then of course when you get that all done you will need it remapping to get the most out of it

the above will do for me(at the moment money permiting) but as you can see from the forum a few want alot more but with class

I dunno how you guys can offord all these nice upgrades.

A combination of...

• Overdraft
• Maxed credit card(s)
• Loan
• Very unhappy bank manager
• Re- or extended mortgage
• Still rent because all the possible deposit (savings) went on the S2 habit
• Doing the work yourself to save money

Ck.

mine, is complely stock, except previous owner put on some big 17" RH cup wheels, and threw away the original ones.

The car even got the casette radio in it stil.

But it wont stay stock for long. Cant live with that radio, and allready i feel the standard brakes is not strong enough for me, even though i "only" got 220bhp

Would also like the RS2 head lights if i can find them, and a remapping to get a little more power.
