(New) S2 16V Rallye

[leeds_182]

Why but why ruin such a perfect handling and agile car by lowering it that much.Really depressing

True, I had all on not throwing myself under the nearest bus.

I love 106s and saxos but my mate died in one the other week so can't bring myself to buy another. They crash like a coke can under foot

 

[George Welsh]

I am really sorry to hear about your mate RIP.
I owned two in the past (S1 and S2 16v) and now every time I drive one I feel I was living was on borrowed time.
Yoko 032 for summer and winter and God knows how I survived 3years driving them up and down the mountains. leads_182 the comment was not for you in particular ( I saw that you bought it like that)

 

[bendee]

dunno what the fuss is about

just add a roll cage and dont crash over 30mph

 

[Matt_90]

Sad to hear! I have just added a cage to mine and I do admit I do feel a lot safer!

Bendee.. Could you PM me a details of what you ordered to do your fuel setup? I am trying to work out what I need to do exactly what you have done.

 

[Advikaz]

Love these

Thats the difficult part lol
what diameter torsion bars are you using?

 

[bendee]

Off the top of my head. 25mm and 24mm bars.

 

[George Welsh]

Torsion bars or ARB?

 

[bendee]

Sorry, 25mm arb 24mm torsion bars.

 

[bendee]

There's a build thread on here somewhere with all the details if you wanted a look. Ill update it soon as it'll be ready for the road.

Perfect, as it should be.

 

[leeds_182]

Just needs the rallye decals. I think the new owners done a top job on it to be fair.

 

[Fletcher]

I agree. Great looking little car.

 

[leeds_182]

Decals are on;

I want it back now!

 

[cat171]

It looks way better with the decals back on it. I think it's a bit on the low side though.

 

[leeds_182]

Tis on its arse. I've never understood why pug owners seem to do this - almost running reverse rake!

 

[Cup_Phil]

Tail happy to start with so lower at the back makes them a bit more predictable

Most of the track pugs I've seen are slammed and it never seems to effect handling

 

[Matthew]

Jim, are you stealing someone's photos to post on here?! Haha.

 

[leeds_182]

He keeps sending me updates so thought I'd update the thread. I thick that'll be it for a while now though.

 

[leeds_182]

Latest picture the new owner sent me. It looks sweet!

[Fletcher]

Nice. I would love a S1/2 rallye.

 

[leeds_182]

Things aren't going well for the new owner;

[leeds_182]

Needs a LOT of welding and a new engine.

Lads sticking with it though to be fair to him.
