Yeah, sometimes it's actually TOO quiet around here.

Many of your questions don't really have anything to do
with conversion issues, therefore, the best place to find some of the
answers
is the actual S2 forums located here:

http://www.s2forum.com

It's not that we don't want to talk about that kind of stuff, but we have a
very 
limited number of data points.

Lots of info in the archives.

Yes, that wheel will fit nicely and look swell, to boot!  I have fit
245/40-17
on the car before, but I think I got lucky.  235 width is probably the way
to go.
I think 255 would be impossible without modification (talk to Dean
Treadway).

That's what Brandon uses and I think he just reported that it was good for
the track
but a bit rough on the street.

Sure...I am!  Here is a link to some CO info, though some is rally specific:

It's my understanding that you will need a different linkage and different
driveshafts.
I have no idea about the short shifter.

This will apply to the real S2 guys also, so check that forum.  Since this
motor/chassis
combo never made it here, there are no easy, "local" solutions.  Many just
get custom
exhausts.

I have heard of folks using this and it supposedly very nice, but it is
outrageously expensive.
I remember buying my complete Stromung system (UrS4) for barely more than 2B
wanted for a downpipe.

Alex at Europrice is a friend.
