Thought I'd bring this one back from the dead...... I fitted the bucket seats and harnesses back in 2008 before I did a couple of track days
I then decided I wanted more power so ripped the 1.6 lump and LSD box out and sold it a friend.
My friend was selling his written off S2 with a freshly built and mapped Jamsport 1.9cvh running Gotech so I snapped it up. There's a graph showing 245bhp @ 12psi but the plan is to take it for another mapping session after a few tweaks.
The good
The bad
.....and the ugly!
I fitted all the running gear at my mates unit and this is how it looked when I got it home
As you can see the suspension was far too high so I bought these
Old spring vs new spring
Polybushed top mount
Also, now I had upgraded the power I felt that the xr3i brakes were no longer adequate so I bought a custom made 4 pot AP kit to fit behind the s1 wheels
I had to remove these stick on weights as they were catching on the calipers
Going to be running these wheels on the road and the s1 wheels on track due to tyre cost. So much more clearance over the s1's and much lighter!
I fitted these too, while I was at it, along with a complete brand new powerflex polybush set for the front end.
So here's how it stands from the front end now
So so many things left to do still but getting there slowly
