Been off road 19 month now. Should be finished start of next year hopefully.

 

Real sweet things happening there mate

Is it gonna be another s2 monster on the roads

What spec u goin 2 be runnin?


Rich

 

Looking good m8,

what spec engine did you decide on in the end? Is see your intending on running MFi, I was expecting you to go Efi / aftermarket.

I've also noticed the Norris stickers

 

Had a total change of heart with regards to the engine. Was pretty much adiment(sp?) that I was going 16v turbo with aftermarket management then a few things happened. The main happening was going out in Tim B's car. Was an absolutely perfect engine and felt just right. Also tied in with the fact that Swillington Auto Care couldnt build me a performance lawnmower engine let alone a 16v turbo I decided to go cvh. So for now its a stage 1 NMS cvh. Trying to get the engine bay nice and clean this year then I'll do the rear next year, then hopefully job done. Becoming a dad has kind of taken up too many garage hours so Im limited to what I can do.

 

looks well smart mate

fair play you must have some patience though,19 months off the road

 

Lovely

 

yeah, a year of that was waiting for Swillington auto care to build an engine for it, after 12 months I pulled the car out and decided to do it myself (well, put it in myself).

 

 

Looks good mate, will have to keep an eye out for your van so you can give me a guided tour!

 

it will good sweet when you get it done.My has been off the road about a year.Same problem has you the misses just had a kid + we moved house. Pain in the head just want to get it done.

 

Hi mate

Looking good

What seat is that ? Sparco Corsa ?

 

Looks nice mate hope ya get it finsihed soon so you can enjoy the fruits off your labour!

 

Its looking good mate,

Nice to see so many Tubs getting full rebuilds and giving them a new lease of life.

Mine is in being painted over Christmas and hopefully Santa will bring me a Digi Camera so i can get some shots of it on the web.

Shame you didn't go for the 16V Turbo motor, there are a lot of people going that way and the results seem to be very good.

but ha, its looking dam good and hopefully will see it at the 2004 shows??

Matt

 

done a little bit more on her. Just waiting on a few parts before the engine gets lifted in

looking awesome mate,i love s2 in white,especially when there tidy like yours,top work

 

seat is sparco roadster

 

FUCKING LOVELY

 

wheels look hard as fucking hard nails stephen

LOL at "going out in tim's car" you ought to try it now, no shit matey its loads faster

seats look mint and i normally hate buckets...in fact you just made my mind up to buy some of them for the 3 door how much, what are they (dont say sparco!!! ) and where from?

im very impressed.....and i normally dont like escorts!!

very good work indeed

 

thanks matt, seats are sparco roadster, think there 300 each from jizz tweeks or wherever. They are very comfortable and accomodatig, my mate weighs 20st and he got in them, looked like a fat bird in size 10 jeans but he did get in them. I dont want to go out in tims car again if its faster than before, I cant afford to keep up, the last outing cost me Ł4k
keep on truckin

 

looks wicked m8! keep the pics comming!

 

FOOK!! that looks well smart and clean!! excellent!

 

Engine bay looks fucking ace

 

looks mint mate. are you the lad i spoke to on messenger a couple of years back when i had the black s2 that me/karl owned?

cheers,

 

believe so mate, you sent me some pictures of it outside someones house I think, block paving?

 

yeah, my house! ............. well my mum n dads!!

i always knew you could be converted

 

lol at lawnmaw engine 1 year you was at the top of the pile then

 

top of the pile of paying customers behind the groupees yes. What a waste of a year, got to admit his excuses were entertaining if nothing else, "that block we got, well, someone was in the other day form stolen vehicles and checked the block number and it was stolen, so had to take engine back" what really? and then the "yeah all the machining has been done on the block", 2 days later, "theyve crack tested the block and its cracked so they cant do anything with that one". And so it went on, he should try stand up.

 

in 2 words "fuckin Wow!!"

 

Shit, thats awesome, I wish mine came out looking like that! dont think so!

 

That looks awesome with those rims! Well done dude, looks like a lot of hard work gone into that!

 

Did you buy your fuel accumilator new from Ford, or did you spray it, and where did you get the polybushes to do the steering rack from mate? Powerflex dont list anything like that.



Thanx

 

nice nice nice, id give my right arm for it,

 

Tony the bushes are deflex bushes, cheap as chips the accumulator I sprayed myself, had it fine grit blasted then sprayed it laurel green I think, can check if you want, think as standard they are that little bit darker but it looks okay as is. Metering head was just vapour blasted. Servo is new so is rack. Brake pedal cross linkage and servo mounting brackets were just sand blasted and powder coated gloss black. Also brake master cylinder was vapour blasted and sprayed myself.
need any more info tony just ask, ive been stuck on many parts and tried looking for help with no avail so most parts I just bit the bullet and went for it. Wiring loom is turning out to be a right pain in the arse to make look any where near decent.

 

Thank you very much Stephen, thats a great help

Yeah, the loom is a bit of a pig to sort out here too

 

Any more pics m8?

 

slow progress at the moment. Got my new brake lines on and clipped up. Need to mount my new fule lines then im lifing the engine in. Hopefully, fingers crossed she will be going in on sunday. Wiring loom isnt quite finished but a big push saturday night should see that all sorted. Still waiting on parts really, rad,barkes exhaust etc. I'll get some more pics up on sunday.

 

Good luck Stephen. Will look forward to the pics

Looking gr8 mate
