[Shoduchi]

Great buy! The car has almost all that I would want as well. I like your future plans! Enjoy your new ride!

PS: Awesome car history by the way.

Looks really good!

I see your in Southampton, from your for sales? I'm in Totton, so I'll keep an eye out for you if you are!

Also in good old totton 

Love the ed 30’s in red ...yep I’ll keep an eye out . If you see me in the S2k or golf send us a wave 

Small world! I'm sure it won't be long before we see each other then. I live in the Testwood area, use to be up in Calmore.

I'm often out running around the town, by myself and with the running club, so If a jogger waves that's probably me.

Was in testwood .... now in calmore

ha, swapped ends of the town! I grew up in Marchwood, been here about 10 years now, it's not a bad place to live, Plenty of choice of take aways! If you ever need a hand with anything give me a shout, I have a DA polisher if you ever want to borrow it let me know.

Thanks for the offer 

Give us a shout if you’re out for a drive

Had a few bits wrapped today .... not sure on the front lip but love the rear

Looking good.. I had an S2K before my Pirelli, like you say great little motor, I just never got comfortable in it. Being 6ft 2 doesn't help, but I do miss the driver involvement..

Yes they are made for the smaller person that’s for sure ..... I’m not big and still feel like I sit on it , rather than in it . I’m having the seats /door cards ,bits and bobs redone in alcantara soon and there’s a company that make a lower seat rail which I’ll purchase . It lowers the seat by an inch but costs around £270 delivered from japan !

[gixerben]

Yeah I know, I looked into it myself is it BYS (back yard special) seat bracket? I nearly went down the Recaro pole position seats route as this gave the best drop and position but £££
I then moved it on and got my Pirelli 

[Bodyboarder81]

Ya that’s right ... bys . I’ll order them up when I’m feeling flush

Not really done anything to the golf .... was originally looking for a apr/Loba fuel pump and go stage 2+ but decided not to , as I feel the car produces the power level for the chassis to cope with . Even with the wavetrack it’s very traction limited in this poor weather . Also was going to go for a set of ohlins ( same as my S2k runs ) but for the intended use of the golf just feel it would be over kill . It already has the Bilstein b12 kit along with eibach anti roll bars , ttrs wishbones , so is a great road going setup . If I were to track the car then I feel this set up is way to soft but I don’t intend to do so .

My tax bill came in at around 10k lower than expected  so looking into getting a nice mk1 golf to garage and run along side my s2000 .

Where is the best place to start looking for one ? If anyone knows someone who’s thinking of selling , then please get in touch 

Ideally looking at one that’s been restored and is more of a show car ( think low and bbs Wheels style )

Cheers

The problem isn't on the chassis, it's on the wet weather.

You'd need AWD to keep using the engine's power with wet roads.

Yes completely agree ....  it as soon as the better weather comes I’ll be out and about in the S2k .... so seems silly to chase more power / better chassis in the golf ..... plus I want a mk1

The S2000 should be more handful and fun to drive than your Ed. 30.

Might be selling the Pirelli as I’ve found something special I like the look of ..... anybody interested please get in contact :)
