... Just a quick update, didnt realised it had been this long since I last posted anything about my coupe.

The last almost 6 months motoring have relatively problem free with only a few problems left occurring.
1. the miles to empty has a mind of its own and seems to move from 130 miles to 30 then empty very quickly
2. I still have a very slight PAS fluid leak from the pump (still need a pump!).
3. Pre-select sunroof still not working, anyone know of a motor?
Only parts the cars had recently are 4 front brake flexi hoses that I fitted yesterday as this morning I'm off for a road trip around Northern Ireland for a week.

Hopefully by the time I'm back the car should be just over 170K which is abit of a milestone for me.

I'll try and get some photos of the road trip, and also a shout to anyone that see's a red s2, dont be affraid to wave haha!

Just another small update, just crossing the border at newry, the n/s/f wheel started make awful noise and vibration almost as if the wheel was rubbing on the arch but after a small amount of roadside investigation it turns out was just stuck pads in the carrier. In all the years I've been a mechanic in never heard anything like that.

I've decided that a set of Porsche brakes are a must before ADI, so anyone know of a set forsale then please get intouch!

Looking forward to the road trip photos. A week, not a bit jealous.

Kind regards.

Time for some of the photos, didnt take many as the car was parked up for some time due to staying in the centre of Belfast for 2 days so was in a carpark!

The s2 hit 170k just as we were heading over the boarder so I had to take a photo to celebrate!

On the second day heading north, while on some rural roads near Cookstown we came across an old garage with a few classics parked outside and all forsale!
All had been restored at some point in time and most seemed to still be in very good condiiton.

As I said earlier, we stayed in Belfast for 2 days so only real picture I took was with the phone while having a walk about the first evening.

Few of the s2 parked outside my familys house the morning we were heading home!

A set of these also turned up in the post this morning so these shall be going on this weekend aslong as the other parts turn up by then!

Comments welcome!

Really nice color to your RX wheels! I love it! Looks very good to your car! Would you reveal the color code?

**TimE-J** · 5 September 2011, 20:45

@Bambridge,
Thanks very much, I'll let you know when they arrive!

@Lighthouse,
I took the wheels to a local wheel powder coaters and I saw some of there examples and picked a colour, the colour of my wheels is nothing like the example I saw so I couldn't tell you the colour code for them sorry.

**sidrick** · 5 September 2011, 21:10

Those wheels suit the car perfectly.

**Tony Stark** · 5 September 2011, 21:53

Thats a nice coupe you have! Are you still after carbon trim? i did this to a spare set of the gay wood effect trims i had laying about...

And i think the black surround grill is spot on

cheers

The brackets from Bambridge turned up today along with the discs from GSF.

I just quickly mocked everything up so now just to wait for saturday so I can get the s2 up to my unit to chance them over!

Just a quick picture of them together.
