I thought S2's could take unleaded because of the hardended valve seats (I could be wrong however! )

And, here is mine:

James,

The kit was'nt too bad, considering i'm no mechanic I did it myself

Bushes are a pain in the arse though.

I have a whole thread in the restoration section when I did the underside of my car, have a look if you want it may be of some help, it's all detailed there.
