Heres my s2 that I got April last year







59k miles
Chipped to 12 psi
-31 actuator
Piper Cams
Magnex system
Piper Air cone
Pace Double Capacity Intercooler
Konis

Added some sounds



I cleaned and polished it like a proper bufty and at my first show I got best old school



I was really surprised and quite chuffed

some more random pics





First change I actually did was a radtec front mount intercooler





My mechanic was a bit rough







Much beter

 

I had to lose the spot's as they didn't fit with the intercooler but I might put them back on for next year

Bought some 17" khans to refurb and put on the car





But after a nitromors in the eye accident I got pissed off and sold them

Next up was a r/r day for the WOS RSOC where it made 155 at the wheels but it went well for the spec



I've got a vid of it on the rollers but youtube aint working for me

 

I even had my first trackday that has really got me wanting to do more!



Next up I bought a Group A coil and some opening rear quarters from some top guys on the WOS site



Group A coil in place





Nice rear quarters!

Now comes the hard bit!

 

Looks very clean, nice to see it standard! good job

 

The clean up!
I want to get her mint underneath and this is where I am so far Crappy pics from my misses phone!

Got my container sorted and jacked her up



After a wee bit of cleaning I tried out some smooth hammerite on the tow eye



Random bit


My car has been butchered with a towbar at some point so I removed the plugs and some metal plate to see what was hiding........... nothing

I attacked the pump carrier next







Not so good!
Caught it before it gets through to the floor though so I'm happy





It will clean up fine

I found the hammerite I put on was a bit soft



After speaking to TWINS I'm gonna stone chip it then hammerite it so its gonna be a long winter but I think it will be worth it

A polished pump carrier will be on order too

I hope I can do as good a job as some of the boys on here

 

Good to see you started a thread ,if you need any more advice just ask

 

Thanks mate
Hopefully have some more exciting updates as the weeks pass

 

have u managed to fit the fans in between the rad and the cooler with the radtec mate?

looks like it from the front pic. any chance of a pic of how u spaced it out, cos the brackets as standard force u to fit the fans out front, n i dnt like that, mine ran too hot with it like it lol

Theres no fans on it just now I was trying to find fans that fit behind but I think I may go for a grs next year anyway. My car runs cool enough with the interior fans on but its not a permanent fix


Thanks mate

 

 

Rear Arch off last night

Oh the horrors!



not really, bit of rust at the bottom I'm going to treat but no holes


Cleaned up



Inside the arch where I've been cleaning like mad



Its a very very slow process but I am adament not to take off any paint that doesn't need to come off

Back up at the car tomorrow

 

Got this to fit when I figure out how to mount it properly

 

Check me out lol









Red hoodie FTW yo

 

 

 

Got my airbox today, I really hate my piper cone
Long story but its the original box off the car



I'm waiting to hear back from Ford if they got the fittings to put it back on

Was up at the car yesterday, more cleaning and took the offside skirt off. Minty minty sills cheered me up after scratching an alloy

Took a day off tonight from the car to get some time with the misses lol

 

Up at the car again today

Not done much took the nearside arch off and it needs some work but I knew that so no nasty surprises

I cheered myself up by paying for some new bits

Orion Ghia carpeted door pockets



and some beter nick interior door pulls will be on there way too, mine are a bit flakey


Got a Tim turbo boost gauge in the boot to fit as well once I figure out where the holders going

Getting a spare seat pan off ebay for when I set in about the seats too

MOST important I got the good book, haynes manual! thank god I might be able to progess beter now
