[s-cars] Some E-S2 pictures on Motorgeek

[djdawson2 at aol.com]

 Ben,
That looks like some really nice work you're doing... I hope it proves rewarding.  I can say I've often thought about "doing" one of those cars myself... looks to be an entertaining platform.

Keep us posted, and good luck.

Dave

I'm using the complete front suspension from a B3 90 - '93 model 90 that is.  

The

susension has drop link swaybar and requires swap of subframe, larger torsion 

bar, strut

assemblies.



I plan to either go one step further with a set of those struts modified with 

coilover

or to just install the H&R/Bilstien combination that was on the car - that was 

fine, so

may just start with that.



I havn't touched the rear and won't for awhile.



The brake upgrade will coincide with 5 lug hub conversion and 17" wheels. I need 

to find

out if one needs to use S2 hubs, or if I can get away with a US 5 lug hub, say 

from

200Q20V ( I have ), or S4/S6 or some other.  



In the mean time, I've done enough for now and once I get the shift linkage in 

order and

interior back together, I would like to enjoy the work done so far.



Ben

-------Hi Ben,  looks like you are having fun.  Thanks for the pics and info.    

About

suspension mods, are you going to change the swaybars ?  ifso,  where do you get 

other

replacement bars?  New , used from  ? , or made up by yourself ?      ...Thanks,
