Hey john

Yes its a S2 in radiant red. 89 reg. (F plate)

Emm well havnt had it dyno'd. but ive read the history and parrently has a stage 2 hybrid turbo with a .55 trim compressor wheel. 195 chip. gmax suspension (not sure on the lowering). aftermarket exhaust dont know what make. baileys dump valve and a nomad boost gauge. set to 14 psi. Any idea what bhp? thinking 160 maybe?

 

I Need help uploading them from my desktop. i tried open with internet but it doesnt work..suggestions please?

nice motor mate,whats your plans with it,welcome to the forum

 

Thanks for the warm welcome!

Yeah well i bought it from Staffordshire yesterday. And on my way home (bout 130 miles away). the clutch started slipping..so thinking of a uprated clutch an AP racing 1 ive heard thats good for the job? also a FMIC but really brakes need doing what brake setup you guys have? heard that Ferodo pads are awsome. ive used EBC before and well i wasnt happy lol. But really into the Future thinking of a ZVH.

 

ap clutch would be a good move,id say a paddle for over 200hp especially if your thinking the zvh route,quite a few people use cosworth 2wd brakes for a cheapish upgrade or even a 4x4 callipers, you defo need the brakes before anything id say

 

cool lookin car so many things you can do and what way you want to go with it as i said have a look at mine (rebuild begins)

 

hello & welcome

 

welcome jake nice motor mate how much did you pay if you dont mind me asking looks in very clean shape

 

Paid the motor over 2k+ hardly any rust..well aint checked underneath yet but tmoro i will and get sum waxoyl on it too.. insurance change was no problem at all was dreading the quote lol.

Yeh tabout the brakes.. money at the moment is tight. But brakes is definetely on the list. Just dont know what setup. what setup you got jonny s2 since yours is a track car lol.

Any of you guys go to Anglesey for track days? the ty croes track?

 

Cheers!. ive got some Team dynamic wheels in white in my garage pro race 1.2 Multispoked 16"'s that i had on my old mk6 escort.

I checked the wheel bolts today..theyre actually bolts and not nuts whats happening here? lol!

worth to put them on or leave the standard wheels on... thoughts?

 

very nice m8 makes a change to see a standard air box

 

Well not completely standard youknow gingerturbo. the last fella put a k+n panel inside it. and has drilled ontop of the airbox.

 

yeh noticed the holes, looks like a right little cracker though

 

Aye. im just amazed from the 1600 8v valve ye. and the recaro's top marks...most comfyest seat ive ever sat in. Thinking of taking the D/V off tho.

Shes not running well at the moment. it feels like its firing on 3 cylinders replaced the spark plugs..still nothing..

could the d/v make it run poor? like it pops n bangs wen i plant it.

Going to work tmoro i work at a garage..see if i can sort some HT leads out from quicko.

 

dv can make them run poor as they have a tendesy to open and close on there own

 

looks in good nick that mate
welcome anyway mate, enjoy your stay
