    New boy please be gentle!

    Hi, Have just prov sold my 80 sport

    But its to fund the purchase of an s2 avant.

    From what I can tell by having a look about 4k seems like a good budget???

    Any buying advice would be great.

      And I paid 6K for mine in 2006 Boys and toys eh

      Welcome to the forum

      4k should get you a really good base to work from with maybe a few of the essential mods already done.


      cheers

        A few costly mods would be good, don't want too much done though.

        The whole point of buying a toy is playing with it

          If you can get one with the brakes already sorted and the legendary Homefry chip you can drive it fast straight out the box.

          The rest is you to you

            I know a brake conversion is easy to sort, if costly.
            Is the homefry chip still availible? Reason I ask is they are both ticked on the list of a car I am realy inerested in.

                Have to agree.... with all of the above!!

                Brakes are a must have....

                Homfries you can get done quickly from Paul.... Just send your ECU to him... With funds of course...

                My other favorite addition is the Plasma Dials from S2 Bo...

                      I'm looking to sell my S2 Avant. It's a ruby red with AC, Cream leather interior, some big 4-pot brakes and one of Paul's Homefries. I've just not had a chance to take any pictures yet; it's cold and I'm lazy.

                      I'm in Essex if you want to pop over and have a look.
