as some of you know i have been converting the saloon to "my" s2 spec. kinda s2+
i dont have a project thread as im lazy. i work in it and have had enough of puters by the days end.
well after clearing a bit of snow i decided to do a bit.
first was to fit the stud kit. we talked about wheels and stuff in anothe thread. basically my discs aare 2 piece custom on the front and a pita to get wheels on and as i was "informed" i would for sure need spacers.....
well heres the brakes with the stud conversion of the front. caliper could do with a paint but to be honest im lucky its not been scrapped by the robbers
thats a gt2 6 pot on a 993 tt disc with custom bell and brackets.
next was a wheel test. the wheel is an s4 17" rim with a 235 45 17 tyre. something that "wont" fit on a flat arched car. well on the first test on the rear 5mm max spacer was needed. maybe get away with none.
on the front....
no spacer at all...the reason.... the current arms are not s2 arms they are 16v ones. they are longer by an inch or so. the downside is the stress spread and the shape. ill be putting the s2 arms on either way so i expect to need about 8mm of spacer. itll be close on the front arch though width wise..
so far so good. engine is in
just wiring it up and then its out for a clean and what have you. im not into really clean shiny bits. i prefer to drive my car. gotta say its a good clean starter for 10 though this car.

Re-attach them and re-path the IMG tags and you'll be fine
