Josh’s Pirelli edition
Bodyboarder81:
Hi all
Just saying hi and introducing myself and my car/family
Bought this little Pirelli edition from a forum member ( flashp) so all credit to him , as he’s spent a small fortune on quality mods and proper maintenance from Jkm . Many moons ago I had a ibiza cupra r and Jkm done all the mods /maintenance for me , so seeing as they looked after this car was a big factor in the purchase .
The car has a great list of mods
Bilstein b12 kit
Eibach arb’s
Wavetrack lsd
S3 brakes front and rear
Whiteline anti lift kit
ttrs wishbones
Full milltek exhaust
Revo dsg map
Revo remap
And some other bits and bobs

Already made a few changes to it .
Had a revo induction kit put on ( had one in originally but previous owner sold it before I could ) and a map tweek by Jkm.
Also while it was there had new engine mounts fitted and a main thermostat ,as I noticed the water temp was not getting up as it should .
Had the cam follower checked over and a general look over from the good chaps at Jkm as well .
Fitted a set of bbs Wheels ( same as the edition 30’s just slightly lower offset)
A new Kenwood/vw specific head unit
Milltek non res section

Also bought a tts engine cover as you can see :happy2:
Just a bit of car history . Always been into my cars and playing around with them.
My first car was a polo gt coupe ,which I put a g40 lump in and had all tuned up by jabbasport . After that had a few gti-6s , Ibiza cupra r , Fiat coupe 20vt, s2000,clio 172 cup, 2 350z’s , m3

I bought another Honda S2000 about a year ago and came across a beauty ...
12 Honda stamps ,3 owners ,26k on the clock and in pretty good condition. Had the car paint corrected and ceramic coated straight away . Then made a few small changes . Put a set of ohlins suspension on , AP racing BBK , Wheels along with some ad08r’s which really transformed the car . Had a few bits done in alcantara in the interior as well . Absolutely loved the summer in the car and done a couple of track days which the car was faultless........

.....then I was getting itchy feet .... always wanted a Porsche .. the time was right ,had a healthy budget for either a cayman 981 s or 997.2 s..... test drove some , almost pulled the trigger but I would have to sell the S2k to afford it ... in the end I just couldn’t let the S2k go !
I really do love it , just such a good affordable, fun, reliable,honest sports car . With the right amount of power to really be able to thrash it and not get into too much trouble .
So decided to garage the S2k and look for something fun to go along side it . We have a family car and I have a work van , so didn’t really need anything too practical. I did however want 4 seats so I could take the kids if needed .
Decided on a hot hatch as they are fun , cheap and practical..... short list was clio 200 Rs , golf gti ,r32,s3,
Obviously ended up with the Pirelli :laugh:
