It was installed in a flared-arch Carrera GT-like bodyshell with turbo suspension and brakes, becoming an instant hit. Steady improvement over its year production life only enhanced that. Wing rot is common, too, and some cars are full of filler: check carefully, ideally with a magnet. Glassfibre front wings are a cheap option. A high-mileage car with full history is likely to be much less costly to run, at least in the short term, because a low-mileage car will probably have faulty electrics condensation leads to corrosion when sitting unused , seized brakes and other problems related to limited usage.
Beware of false low-mileage claims, too, especially on early cars with five-digit odometers. Pre update models have a s-style dashboard that you either love or hate, with a low-set steering wheel just above your thighs. The later oval dash is modern, stylish and attractive, with a higher-set wheel, but the gauges especially the clock and heater controls have proved less reliable than those of earlier cars. There is a choice of genuine spares from main dealers sometimes cheaper than elsewhere , quality aftermarket products from specialists and second-hand items from breakers.
Early cars are relatively simple and have classic appeal, whereas S2s offer the highest performance outside turbos and are often quicker off the mark. They are the sensible choice and less complex than a turbo, but are not readily tunable. Well-maintained engines can stand more than , miles, but look for proof of regular maintenance, no excessive oil or coolant leaks or mixing, and no smoke or rumbling on turbos.
Balljoints are integral with the cast-aluminium lower arm steel pre ; they wear and can crack. Tramlining when driving indicates a problem.
Worn synchros, whining and oil leaks require a costly rebuild; a slipping or baulky clutch needs transmission out; CV joints click or vibrate when tired. Make sure headlights go up and down correctly and give a good beam, plus that all electrical items are in good working order.
Seats can be honest witnesses to care and mileage: inspect for wear, damage and correct function; also for water ingress, especially below sunroof. The Nikasil-coated aluminium blocks cannot be rebored, so get a compression test done if in doubt; it will also show gasket and valve leaks. Replacing cam drive and balancer-shaft drive belts at 48, miles or four years is vital to avoid a blown engine; the water pump should also be checked and replaced if in doubt.

The fastest I ever went in my was I didn't max it out, I just slowed down cause there were starting to be cars around and I didnt want to die. Blackfoot's Garage superior water-cooled porsche 2. Bob's's Garage Fastest i've gotten so far with my factory spec On the ramp where we met up is where the fun started, I was in front and stayed there.
Near redline in 4th gear it does right at mph, fastest we hit was just under before having to back off cause we were now on a 2 lane road and the pass lane had ended. Mr M3 driver was not happy that he was unable to pass me on that last stretch.
I think NA 's hit the 'air wall' at around mph, meaning aerodynamically they need more HP to punch through the air any faster unless conditions are better. The NA's tranny is capable of over mph at rpm, but it doesn't have the HP to get the rev's anywhere near that rpm in 5th gear.
