03/13/09 - Friday the 13th!

I am starting to see the light. Went to the shop today. Tested the S2 motor to see how healthy it was. To my shock - amazingly healthy. 165-175 for compression numbers and the leakdown on the cylinders were all within spec. AMAZING for a 147K motor. Wow.

Then I sold it.

J3 has the new torque tube in place. They even painted it for me! As for my old one, I was dead on. The forward bearing are very noisy and definitely shot. Good call on my part by replacing it.

Here are more photos from today:


Seats are in.








Torque Tube - Oooo...pretty.








Bushings are in:

Will your project finish in time for the April 25-26th PCA DE at Road Atlanta? I'll be there with an almost identically prepared '89 S2 in group 3!

I am not sure at this point. There's a chance, but I won't make any bets. I usually run in Group 4/5 depending on how mag folks are running in either group.

If the car is not ready, I'll still stop by to say hello...

so what kind of side mounts are you using w/ those seats?

Brey Krause lowering brackets. I may even do what you did and remove the sliders from my seat.

B-A-D A-S-S. Please keep updating this thread - awesome. I'm catching up ALL the "deferred maintenance" on a tired 100K S2, and every time I start feeling tired of it I come searching for your thread - very inspirational! My car may not ever be a dedicated track car, but it's fun to watch your project and see what could be. Thanks!
