Project: RS2 ABY

[Sonic]

That's going to cost you an arm and a leg then...

That's why god gave me 2 of each

With your list of mods I'm sure it will be one of the best looking S2 in the countery if not the best !

I'm looking forward to seeing this monster evolve 😄.

Cheers, i'm hoping this latest work will finalise the beast that she is.

And yours (poking its nose in the background of that photo) is absolutely ****ing phenomenal as well mate

Come on Sonic, what is the bodywork / project spec? You can't tease us until the spring!

Quite a bit of stuff

Some of it still being finalised. Further details and pictures will be revealed in time, but for now it's radio silent on specifics beyond sorting and repainting the bodywork

Quite a bit of stuff mostly bodywork restoration and respray plus polishing up a few other remaining bits on the car.

Timeline... quite a while i think. Probably well into spring next year.

[irishs2]

Cool, whats the plan and timeline?

So now begins a new chapter in the project... i dropped the S2 off with Quattro Coachworks this evening, ready for her winter bodywork modifications.

I almost shed a tear leaving her behind, returning home and finding an empty garage where she once lived, like departing a long-lost friend.

She looked so sad when i handed the keys over and walked away...



But i already can't wait to get her back next year for a damn good thrashing

I just posted you the same car with 2.5" vs 3" exhaust and 430hp vs 510hp with the only thing changed being the exhaust.

We had a backpressure gauge on the dyno on both of these runs.

Do you (or anyone else) remember what the backpressure was with the 3''?

Having just had a little late night hoon myself, I can relate.

Glad you got it sorted Andy

Sorry for my brief outburst gents, this car is just so utterly frustrating sometimes!

Anyway, i spoke to Dmitri who recommended i email Richard from Aquamist. I dropped him a quick email shortly after writing the previous post and instantly had a reply asking for my number.

Richard spent 30 mins on the phone with me at 9:30pm, walking me through the system, isolating and testing each part piece by piece.

We thought the pump might have swelled along with the flow-valve, but alas just the flow sensor not connected very well after it had become disconnected when the wire went taught under load, so after fixing all-that i took her straight out for a near-midnight run and remember why i love the car

There's something about going out for a late-night hoon, when the air is still, traffic is low, and there is a supermoon... then putting your floor to the floor with the windows down and the sunroof wide open that calms the nerves and provides instant relaxation. I'm at peace again, and as such must announce a new smiley to commemorate this moment

Gents, i also hope you can see how unbelievably helpful Richard from Aquamist has been. If any of you were in any doubt, i hope you no longer are and i cannot hesitate to recommend his products and services.

The only thing now is to stop the level sensor kicking in when only about 20% of the tank has been used.
