My 3B to RS2 project

[newsh]

Took the hint and went reverse did ya

In the end I had to heed your advice

[newsh]

Have had a search going for OZ ultra legs for a year now but no go.. They're expensive too, I'll have another look at the TDs.

Super aware of the wheel weight thing, with the bikes its really obvious, have lusted after a set of BST Carbon wheels for a few years but at 2 grand they're a bit spendy

My next move on the chassis is to set the RARB up to the stiff setting as I moved it to full soft a while back to try and compensate for when the rear shocks were set too hard, I'd forgotten that

I'd love to be able to fiddle with the damping but its just not an option with the Konis. Oh for a set of top adjustables!

Super Leggera's can be found for good money....even if the wife doesnt think so I bagged an ex display set and shod them in those Kumho V70a's for less than £280 Bargain in any language (except a woman's )

Sell them to me and give her the money to buy a nice new dress, a pair of shoes and some Chanel No.5

Cheers mate, I reckon 17s are better though for track tyres?

[newsh]

Did a few bits to the car today.
Removed Recaro Speed and fitted the heated leather for "winter mode"
Fitted a spare seat heater switch to cure the constant clicking from the relay.
Refitted the engine bay blanket to keep the noise down a bit.
Moved the Whiteline RARB to stiffest setting and managed to provoke a little oversteer on the wet and leafy local lanes
Removed and cleaned the pins of the Gauge Cluster voltage regulator to try and stop the gauges playing up, seems to have worked!

Yes mate, I'd be up for that, we just need someone to bring a stocker with a homefry to make up the set

[stevieyid]

I should have the car back in the nextweek or so. Ill drop you a text and we can sort something out.

[Jamo]

Been a while since an update Mr Newsh, hows the project going?

[newsh]

I've got a big pile of stuff to do now Jamo. I have Wagner inlet and exhaust manifolds and the intercooler and crossmember kit to fit. I have front and rear bumpers and a good pair of early headlights and a set of H4 type HIDs for them. I have a complete metal sunroof to replace my glass one which has rotted out where the glass bonds to the metal frame. I have a set of opening rear windows to fit too.
My ur is having a new prop bearing fitted at the mo down at White Cottage Quattros so when that is done I'll be taking the S2 off the road for a while to get all this done, hoping to sort the water ingress too while the trim is all out for windows and sunroof
When this is all done I'm thinking cams again for a bit more top end hit
I just have to sell a couple of Dennis mowers to make space in the garage

[newsh]

Old bumpers off and sunroof replaced, trim to go back in yet but going to wait for it to rain and sit in it watching where the water comes in

[newsh]

There's been thoughts of selling but I've decided to keep the car and fit all the bits I've been hoarding for it, Wagner kit etc
Maybe go for 5 coils? Would I have to convert to ABY or AAN ecu and loom?
Sort the exhaust so its not so loud (needs to pass CC noise test for example..) bigger back box I think and extra holes for wideband and egt.
Move battery to under rear seat.
Sort petrol tank vacuum , vent to atmos.
Mods to catch tank.
Find and fix leak in hydraulic system
Fit opening rear window kit.
Recover and refit headling.
Fit the pair of black leather Recaros
