RS2 IC, X-Member and Samco's

[Jamo]

Well started at 10am and finished 4pm.

The car is is now Samco'd has the RS2 IC and X-member on.

What a pig of a job as nuts and screw's were seized all over the shop!!

1 of the screws that holds on the bumper snapped in two as it was that seized.

If anybody knows the part number for this and the captive nut please let me know.

Seems like when i had the old alternator moving problem the standard IC had touched the crank pulley as there was a nice round shape in the middle of the IC!

Also the car previously had a RS2 IC on it as the Oil Cooler duct already was notched to accept the RS2 IC.

Tryed to do a pressure test but my mates compressor couldn't put enough air in!

Think i'll need ot go done the local shell to do it or buy a beefy compressor.

All in all, car feels smooth and pulls alot better when i took it for a quick drive down the M5.

Did you fit it on a standard S2?

[Jamo]

No my car isn't totally standard

[Erikb]

Did you fit other rs2 parts as well?

[Jamo]

Nah, can't afford them! plus you need a remap.

want to sort out the handling first as it handles like a barge, get new shocks and ARB's

[Rusty]

Where did you get the IC and X-member from? Can you use the standard S2 XM or will it just not fit?? Quite interested as it's on my realistic modification list after the Porsche brakes and getting the thing to track in a straight line!

[Jamo]

Standard XMember is the way to go plenty of theards showing how to do it.

Good one by Greg http://www.s2forum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1168

Jamo, if the bolt and captive nut youneed are the side bumper to wing ones? (I bet it is as they can be a bitch) then you need:
N 0141433 for the screw and N 902 521 04 for the captive nut.
Cheers!

Thanks Martyn. I guess these would be better than cable ties.

I'm not the only one who uses the rad cover as a tool tray then.

[4WheelDrifter]

Certainly not. The small trays above the headlights and along the wings are handy too.
