Righteo ... there's quite a bit I want to do to my S2 before the summer is over and the rain appears more frequent (might be able to wash the car then come to think of it).

The bits I want to do aren't all cheap, but I'd prefer to get them done now the sun is out and I can use my bike for work, rather than something go wrong in the winter and get stuck somewhere not so nice.

Ok, bits I've listed are:

B&M Quickshift - Love the short throw on the Fiesta ST, so thought I'd do the same to the RS
I.C.E - My sound system is several years old now, time to update it with a sub and some decent speakers.
RR and Tuning - Going to take the S2 to Power Engineering to get it tuned when all the mods are done.
*Uprated clutch - Had a new (standard) one fitted in Nov, and I'm sure it needs replacing, seems to slip ... but I'm not sure what clutch to get.
*Stage 2 g'box - Had a quick look on the website at this, and thought it could be a fresh upgrade, but would it be worth the money for a car used everyday ?
*Cam and pulley - I was told to get the Kent CVH34 cam, but after reading plenty of posts on PF, I'm not so sure what cam to get (if at all any)
Respray - Car needs one, my dad and I attempted a spray job ourselves in a 1 car garage with cans. It looks ok for what we used, but a pro job would look 10 time better.

Thats all I can think of at the moment. Items marked with a * are ones I need a little info on if possible.


At some point, I'd like to get the engine rebuilt. It's coming upto 130k miles, and I'd like to freshen it up.
Would it be worth rebuilding the engine, and uprating some parts (if so, whats ideal to uprate/replace) ... or stick a 2ltr ZT in there.

Any help, hints, tips will be greatfull

Going to start ordering things.

Talking to guys at gearboxman.co.uk about the stage 2 box, or possibly the stage 2+.
Going to speak to AP about a better clutch.

Still not sure (if any) what cam to go for ?

i think the standard cam is the best mate, or i have heard that power engineering have a good one (their own spec)

I did think of sticking with the standard one.

Taking the car to PE for a tune up when all its fitted ... so I'll have a word then.

Thanks
