Yeah, mine has Procon-ten and it's a '94, loads around that era do, me mate Al's Avant did and that too was a "M". Means I can have a nice Momo and get the beautiful Nardi wheel as OE

So does that mean to have the gearbox out theres a cable wrapped around it somewhere to move out of the way?

If I remember right each cable has a solid cylinder on the end (bit like the end of the handbrake cable or the door release cable where it fits into the handle) that hooks into a bracket on top of the gearbox. But yeah to take the gearbox out you need to unhook the 2 cables. I'm sure there's a little slack in them though. If you can see the top of the gearbox (if you have your IM and stuff off) there's a chance you might see the ends. If you take the whole engine out you can see them very well though

lol depends on what way you take it out....its like a pulley mounted flat on top of the gearbox if that makes sence..although its only one half and doesnt move.....i get the feeling were going to need a picture cos i cant describe anything atm.......
anyway.. if you take it out forwards...no problem, taking it off backwards is a bit more involved, having said that it was a while since i was last under my car....
i'll hide under my chair just incase...

finally a little progress..

It's been a while since i posted on my project thread,mainly due to money,a lack of time and a lack of any decent work to keep the money coming in,but luckily i've been blessed with a smaller tax bill than i expected and have found some work making a few one-off's (joinery),which finally leaves me with some money
i thought i'd start to get the rest of the exhaust system finished off -that being the down pipe and center section.
I've opted for a 3" downpipe and straight through center-should sound when it's done.
The down pipe will be on it's way soon,but the rest is here(the day after ordering)
so thankyou jetex once again for a second to none service.I also got some silicone hose(to tidy up the charge pipes) and a yellow spring for my recirc valve(from forge) as the green one isn't cutting the mustard IMO

and a little mock up of the center section:

will start putting it all together when the down pipe arrives

on an other note,i've seperated the wastegate pipe from the downpipe just for giggles
needless to say i wont be doing it on my new system-it sounds like the car is on deaths door
The next batch of parts will probably be for a really good service as i think it needs it,as well as new fuel lines,as one is weeping.I think air may be getting in as a result and causing some starting problems

Anyway-will update again soon

You need to copy the direct link to the image from webshots and then do this: [ img ] paste image address [/ img ] without any spaces (I had to use them to make it show up)

[Nj]

Slightly better than that powerflow mate.

well finally progress should be coming relatively thick and fast.
I managed to find the time to fit the spring in the dumpvalve and the silicone hoses to join the charge pipes,now leak free-for good

car in bits again:

down pipe:

a wee bit of mocking up prior to welding:


got roped into making this for my bro:

in return he took the pipework to his garage to weld up,as i neither had the time or the same level of equipment
the finished articles:


so come this saturday i will be fitting the exhaust at my grans(they have a service pit in the garage)along with new fuel lines
I've also got yet more parts on order-roll cage from custom cages and service parts from quattro corner.
I've got a couple of extra jobs lined up for some extra money-this should be enough to get the new seats,the harnesses,new steering wheel and hub,not forgetting a boost gauge.
Whats the opinion of the steering wheel i fancy?

anyway-back to my beer,updates will follow in the next few days

ooh yeah. Really like the exhaust and steering wheel both. see when you've finished taking off all the old parts.. can I have them back to rebuild an S2 from?

i could give you the old steering wheel as somekind of wall ornament
and a pair of seats for your living room
seriously though-you need to get another s2,your missing out on all this fun(that being having no money most of the time)
