Do I keep it standard?

I thought about dropping it a bit as standard looks high, especially if i'm keeping std wheels.

DO I keep std wheels? Perhaps get them diamond-cut? Perhaps a different colour?

Would like to get a 90spec spoiler as these look a lot better IMHO?

No mention on the exhaust please, that is being sorted.

NO chrome is going under the bonnet this time, maybe just get some black samco's.

88 spec bumper? Do I replace with a 90 spec one, or get the front of the bumper cut out and meshed ready for a mahoosive cooler (done properly).

Do I go for big power or just sensible mods (filter chip 12psi) ?

Ideas/etc greatfully recieved

thanks peeps

 

leave it as it is and you dont need to cut the bumper to fit a grs either i never (well Karl never)
as for wheels i gave you the link for these

it looks nice and clean now.

want to keep the std alloys, just maybe have them painted a bit darker or diamond cut.

deffo wanna keep the standards tho

 

well speak to an alloy wheel refurb place about having them done
i have a couple of pals who have wicked wheels vans and xpress alloys vans i can see if they know anyone your end who would sort you out a deal

 

if u could mate that would be much apprec

anyone else??

 

Loose the nasty tail pipe

 

how cool do you look

 

git u put that on the other post

 

Ahhh, didn't read that, u waffled too much and I got bored

 

git, just coz we know black ones are the fastest s2's


mind u white was the fastest when i had a white one, and no i'm not racing tims grey one

 

90spec soiler for deffo also some semi smoked rear lights would suit it a treat

and diamond cut with black inserts would like hard as nails too

 

Looks a nice clean one Stu

IMHO
Leave it how it is body wise as it looks nice and genuine, get a nice Goose on it and go for a big power sleeper. either get your hands on a set of RS 7 spokes or as you say, get the standard rims diamond cut

 

cheers people, what about dropping it slightly?

 

Yer but only slightly, not silly low

 

drop it 30mm, 90 spec bumper and spoiler, diamond cut alloys, black inserts, clear side repeaters, clear fronts, smoked rear lights, job done

engine wise just go for a mild tune, maybe to 170-180, keep it reliable...

 

As Wes said diammond cut alloys with black inserts look the dogs

 

work in progress - watch this space


KAAAARRRLLL!!!!!!!

 

delta bodykit

 

nah ... illusion

 

rattlesnake

Saying that I had one of those on my rst but with a cossie front bumper and twin headlights lol, good in its day but utter wank now

 

suble mods to bring it up todate.

90 spec bits. smoked lights, etc...

I think they look dam fine standard

 

Hello Stu, have'nt seen you at an RS show/meet in ages!!

First easy mods are a set of koni's/spax and a set of -25mm springs, and then poly bush the front outer TCA's and anti-rollbar mounts.

Nest easy mod is chipped and a -31 actuator and around 12psi.

With this all done the car will handle and go a lot better and you can see how you feel from there.

Looks wise leave it all standard including wheels and just put a sensible exhaust, smoked rear lenses, clear front indicators and clear SQUARE side repeaters on there. (i.e. keep it clean but more modern!)

 

cheers karl, will get them bits done and give u a buzz

yer now i have another (proper ) rs i will be getting to the meets etc again. the cos, although quick, was not really a car i took pride in at all, not like my old white escort

I am gonna keep it std looking, already got a magnex on its way.

see if u can break this clutch!!

 

personaly i like the standard sII rims highly polished.. look really different going round
