Project: RS2 ABY

Building? Built

I'm not spending any more on it that's for sure.

It's Ragussa Green. RS2 mirrors would be lovely.

[Rocco]

Is it dark green or black Andy?


You need only the rs mirrors


Good ride you are building

[Sonic]

Ah ******, this is where i wish i'd found the time to give her a wash

Lovely pics, thank you

Who'd have thought that £1500 suspension would be any good

I know what you mean, I had leaks in 4 pipes , 3 of which were repaired, and another one which was custom made, apart from that, housing broke off the old compressor, a part of the old a/c rad where the pipe connected was corroded. It took a while to get it all right

You could always move the oil cooler somewhere else

[Sonic]

The car used to have AC installed, and i even went as far as buying a load of new pipes to get it working again, but decided to strip it all out to save weight and get easier access.

The AC rad is removed and a Setrab oil-cooler party in its place meaning fitment of the AC rad in its stock location is not possible.

What's in the way for you getting aircon working Andy?

I have a bit of a rarity then I guess, an S2 with working AC..after a lot of setbacks though

[KaraK]

Great minds and all that

[Sonic]

Precisely what i was thinking!

[KaraK]

Reminds me of the mental "designs" we came up with that summer at work!

[Sonic]

Given the oil cooler is in the way i don't think the stock system would fit back on... time for something a little more... homemade.

[KaraK]

Honestly I think the day the S2 has working aircon is the day that the world will just keel over and end in shock

I really need to get the scooby sorted so we can go do another track thrash!

[Sonic]

Indeed, the next Euro trip should be far more comfortable... just need AC now

[KaraK]

Cheers Gents.



The reason for me changing was purely down to road-use. My previous setup was just to crashy and no doubt causing damage. The rideheight was just to low and as a result whenever you hit a bump in the road (i.e all the time) the entirely springs compressed and bottomed out, causing a massive and uncomfortable THWACK!

The V3's, thus far, are a revelation

The crashing and banging has entirely gone, and to be honest the S2 on the road doesn't feel that much different to my BMW F20 125i M-Sport with it's slightly sportier M-Sport suspension setup.

It has entirely changed the composure of the S2 on the road, making it as comfortable as you could expect for day-to-day driving on the road but whilst maintaining a perhaps more track-orientated setup.

My spine is already composing a letter of thanks in advance for our next epic journey
