Default My S2 Rst Clean Up Project (IT'S SHINY 26/01/08)

Hi folks i picked up this s2 yesterday,

Has a few bits needing doing but nothing major so shouldn't take me too long to get it sorted

It needs:

An mot for a start as it has failed on emissions,

Tracking aligning

A set up

surface rust on battery tray and fuse box panel looking at

Plus the wheels need refurbing

Spec is

1800zvh Engine

Ported head

Kent cvh 35 cam kit with vernier pulley

Collins chipped ecu

Collins actuator

Uprated turbo

Uprated clutch fuck knows what but its stiff and bites like fuck

Radtec front mount intercooler with twin fans

5th injector that needs connecting up

Samco boost hoses

pipercross filter

Flamer kit

Bailey gay valve

Mongoose full stainless with 4 inch rolled out tail pipe

Lowered on something but can't see as its too low lol

90 Spec kit

League Wheels

And thats all i can remember

SO PICS

























Does anyone know the car at all??? From the reciepts it looks like its spent most of its time in manchester / Bolton area untill about 1999

Let me know what you think folks

cheeRS, Grant

I think so i'm not sure what to do though as it needs setting up so do i take it to nobles and have a power run or do i wait till i got some spare cash then get it set up and miss the nobles day??

Not sure what to do really i don't want it to go bang on the rollers just because i should have had it set up 1st

I'm going to ring them to see how much they want to set it up and wire my 5th injector up

Right Slight update but no pics as yet, Got some meguiars on it too lol

Car is now on the road but only temporary as the agency found me some work so needed the car everyday,

Obviously in true rs fashion being on the road for 2 weeks ive got to know the car and discovered some problems which i need the help of you guys on


The things are i have a couple of leaks, 1 is coming from the roof lining above the passenger seat in the back and the roof lining is buldging, 2 is in the boot in the corner under the drivers side back light, Anyone got any ideas where these are coming from???

I'd really appreciate the help guys cheers, Grant

Thanks for the comments, I've given it a good clean up now so i thought i better get some pics on,

I was going to sell it but i've changed my mind

SO the to do list as it stands is,

Replace the fucking horrible spax suspension with either standard or something else,

New (2nd hand) Passenger front brake caliper

Tracking lol

Refurb the alloys

set up then i'll consider painting the underside and having a new battery tray and fusebox panel, BETTER TO CATCH IT NOW BEFORE IT STARTS ROTTING

After that we'll see i would like to convert to efi and i'll look into this in the near future

All depending on my funds but i really hope i can afford to keep it and if i do there will be a grudge match with a certain someone hopefully

Anyway some pics for you all













































Let me know what ya think cheers, Grant
