another question ? do they all wobble a bit when you reach about 90 ?????? any suggestions

no, definatly not! should be rock solid all the way to max tuts (tuts are like mph, but with a universally accepted conversion factor applied).... What kind of wobble is it? Could be as simple as your wheels needing balanced, or your geo setup.

eh... no, definatly not, they should be rock solid steady. Maybe needs the geo done or the beginings of a wheel bearing..... will let an S2 owner comment further.....

My S1 just get better and better the quicker you go....

Could be your not used to the lightness of the steering yet, any bump on the road will have your hands moving the wheel without you realising, this is more noticable at speed... does it still wobble eith your hands off the wheel...?

p.s. hello by the way, looks nice.

p.p.s.. (S1's are best faction)

not sure i also have a bm 330 cabrio and a rs4 cabrio and they feel safe as hell at speed but i`m not sure if its because of the recent downpours or something more serious but i dont have much confidence in it at speed !

Worth getting a geo done on it if it feels strange to you... it should feel planted to the deck...

obviously it wont feel as sharp as the lighter S1

but it still should feel really tight. But saying that every car feel different.

If there is anyone with an S2 near you, get them out for a spin in it and they will soon let you know if it feels strange.

Most of the cars in the Glasgow area normally end up in/around my garage at some point in their lives.

I'm in Blantyre, but I'm kinda swamped with work at the moment.

When you say wobbles - do you mean the whole car or just the steering wheel?

Wheel balancing should be a vibration through the wheel as opposed to the whole car wobbling!

Carry a small towel u'll get used to it

remember and colour code your towel so it the same colour as your car...

otherwise it would just be disasterous!
