My 3B project (ongoing)

[Dobby84]

Right guys, after some advice. I took my s2 out for a spin for the first time in almost a year. All be it on trade plates lol.

I was so excited to drive it again but was let down. I have got the engine sorted now and it doesn't over heat or anything as before.

It seems very under power for some reason. Makes all the right noises but just doesn't seem to be that quick. Struggles to keep up with my friend Alfa GTA

I've had the boost checked but was wondering if there is anything else i should get checked out before i look at the map?

Cheers guess

Is the N75 connected the right way?

[Dobby84]

I assume it is as i don't think its been removed. Anyone got a picture as a reference!?

Longest piece of the T into the maf turbo hose. Rest straight forward after that.

Update.

I can honestly say that I am quite excited about next weekend as I am going to Bournemouth so help finish off my S2. Fingers crossed it will be MOT'd, taxed and insured so I can drive it again!

-note to self-
Make sure that my breakdown cover is up to date.

Finally after almost 18 months off the road the s2 is at the MOT station being tested.
New power flex bushes all round and refurbished read diff and prop including bearings etc and she drive SO much better.

Now a wash and t-cut and de-mould the seats tomorrow before tracking is done and she will be good to insure and tax!

I will put some pictures up soon.

What colour to paint my A8 sports?

Hey, decided to get the A8 sports refurbed before I get the car on the road next week so just wondered what people's opinions were on colour choice?

I leaning towards either gloss black, shadow chrome, anthracite or maybe even white but can't make my mind up.

Any pics would be great, seen loads on here but not many with a red car.

Cheers guys.

[simon20vq]

Great news!!! Defo black with that red get some pic's up when there done.

[Dobby84]

Thats what I was thinking.
matt satin or gloss though? I think glass maybe a bit much so leaning towards satin

Photos!

As promissed I have not been able to load up the latest photos of my S2.

I have chosen to paint the wheels satin black and they will be off to the painters tomorrow. Anyone know where I can get center caps from?

Right so here are a few pictures. Dont think she scrubbed up too badly considering it hasn't been driven for nearly 18 months.

Speak to Rustynut, he was talking about selling his anthracite A8 sports...

Looks good, red interior is different

[Dobby84]

I haven't seen another S2 with a red interior, are they rare?
Need to get some kind of professional interior cleaner to have a go at the seats at they are a bit moldy and slightly faded.

[Rusty]

Take the covers off and wash them in the machine on a low temp
Red interior was more than likely an option but is more common on 80s from what I've seen.

Loving the E12 BTW, classic shape and a big M30B35 engine up front
