Have to agree on Matt's S1, although I saw a cracking example down safff end @ last weeks PF meet! 300 odd BHP with full blown antilag! what a monster!

Also, I like Chewy's and DOO's old S2 Very nice indeeed!

Bodge... my spec is still under progress but roughly its low comp 1600cvh, stage 3 big valve powers/karl norris ported and polished head, powers camshaft SX428T, double valve spring, anti pump lifters, hybrid turbo 48 exhaust housing 55 trim wheel, pace large front mount intercooler, MF2 Aquamist fifth injector running a green injector, running 20psi currently but does need a good setup, hoping to run around 25psi when its setup and should see 250bhp with a bit of luck, it was running 220bhp on the old setup but that was running a stage 2 spec turbo and only 18psi!

still to come is water injection, Nitrous Oxide, oil cooler, and some big brakes.... also gona change the konis for some AVO coilovers. More expense eh! its gettin there thou... should be resprayed again before the shows this year as the bumpers a bit nasty, and the front end has some stone chips, then it will be finished...

I look forward to seeing all the ERST's at the shows this year... I might even enter mine this year, dont think it'l win but worth a try!

danny h's old s2
Danny's S2, how could I forget. I live right near the man! And what a lovely S2! Still his escy cos is luuuuuuuusshhhhh too

I think at the end of the day it is down to personal preference, I know I prefer a full 90 spec S2 with standardish looks, not gay spoilers or shitty tinted windows or lowered to fuck! apmsl!

Must say there are sum loooooovely S2's on here

ive got piles of receipts... i stoped counting how much I had spent on it when it got over Ł5k... I bet including buyin the car and all the bits Ive bought its well over Ł10k, and ive only owned the car for a year!

Its an on going project.... you'l never finish, as your always tryin to get more out of it...

Im currently got another shoping list of Ł2k for big brakes, NOS, and water injection then im gona call it a day sell up and get a cozzy!
