Default Anybody know this car an S2 reg E36 LRW

I owned this car back in 1994 bought it from a garage in coventry and everything went wrong in about 2 weeks of ownership. Gave up with the charlies at the garage where I bought it, and took it too severnvalley where it had some tappety things replaced and a group A turbo (whatever that was), filter and zaust and a general tidy up. Severnvalley assured me at had NOT been chipped and set it up accordingly.

Had the car rolling roaded at John Wilcox engines and it put out 185 hp which I was well happy with

just curious as to its fate?

yes Tiff tell me about it the car looked mint and drove lovelly on the test drive on the day I picked it up the turbo went and the ABS light came on and loadsa other stuff

i got sick of taking it back to those numpties so in the end gave up and went to SevernValley to get it sorted properly which it was at a cost of around £2.5K but it was a sweet little motor once done

Blast from the past! I owned this rs turbo s2 from 2004 and sold it on a couple of years later!

Bought it from kenilworth of some oldies chap!

Had the head gasket fail on the way home! And the exhaust manifold leak, other than that was ok! Was looked after well!

Got loads of pics of it somewhere!
