I've never heard of anyone tracking an S2 with 18" wheels, though -- 16" and 17" are usually the size of choice. Any larger, and it's usually a trade-off between performance and looks. Any reason for the 18" wheels?

Yeah, I ordered them for the 993 ! But I think they should be fine. Advantage also is that I can fit slightly used Porsche Cup slicks from the cup cars. If it doesn't work we'll swap to 17 inch but I think it should be fine, I don't see any negatives but I guess it could be setup related....
And, it will only be an S2 for a while, after that it will be a 400 rwhp + machine.....

Mark, you're making me think... Thanks for the input, I will surely try the 17inches after the base set up is done. Here's some of the suspension parts going in.....

Thanks guys, I'll do the tank... Remember this i just the standard rebuild at the bodyshop, we'll do most details in the workshop, but even I noticed it only in the pics. Must've been my eyes hurting from the yellow earlier today

Tell me, do you have plans to upgrade the drivetrain at all to accomodate the turbocharging? Or do you think the stock S2 drivetrain will be up to the task?

WOW....!
That's some seriously nice craftsmanship going on there.
That body shop.....is it open to air like that 24/7....or are their work projects rolled in/out of a secured building at night...?
Props to the workforce on that one Henk, they should be commended....excellent looking car there in all regards.

I've got the 968 6 speed gearbox with Lsd laying around. Chris from Turbokraft says we only need to change the clutch and bell housing to accommodate a bigger diameter clutch. The 968 gearbox seems to be good enough for it. But I think we'll have to find out cos 500 flywheelhorses seems a lot to me.... That though is still a few months off. Plan to set her up as it is now with the engine as is, only modification being a MAF instead of the flap, a chip, K&N filter and the car is one with the "non-cat" option. We guess it should have 240 fwhp when running well.
