Any ideas on which model of itg?

Well played sir! I need to do something similar with mine so that I can refit my carpet.
I've also had a new windscreen fitted and welded in the A-pillar and roof cage brackets as I never done them when I fitted the cage. Just need to get the exhaust back on, tidy out the inside, re-fit the seats, and she's ready to go again.

Very nice Gus! Wouldn't mind a pair of those myself.
Was down at Knockhill on Saturday night for a 2 hour track session. It was wet, really wet. My first time doing any kind of track driving in the wet, so wasn't far from setting blistering times, but was great fun.
Hi Angus, saw the pics from the Viney's MU track evening last night on FB and was pleased to see a Rallye on the track. So had to have a hunt online for some extra info which ended in me reading through your 10 page thread and amazing the amount of work that went into your car. Hopefully I will be able to pop up to the next one and catch your car there. My 106 is 100% standard but going to change to some B8s and faulkner springs and probably leave it at that. Although I do have a Recaro pp sitting in my garage so am tempted to fit that as it is a lovely seat.
How have you found those AVO's mate?
Cheers Soupie, I'm not sure if I'll make the next one, but if I am there come say hi. I had a lot of fun chasing down the M3 and the various Civic/Integras that were there!
AVO's are working really well with me Matt, but I've not really played about with them much yet.
After a couple of hot days at Knockhill and the oil getting high on the gauge, I've gone for a bigger radiator to keep the water temps down, and therefore the oil temp down through the heat exchanger. Can never have enough cooling, and should come into its own at the Nurburgring next month.
Also got Tommy's steering arms fitted (massive improvement) and alloy pulley's fitted.

see much difference with the alloy pulleys? thought about doing it myself.
Can I ask what headlights you are using, they look very white and bright!
Very little, but it all helps I guess. But they look a lot nicer, and won't split in two!
Standard headlights with PIAA bulbs, can't remember what type now, extreme white or something like that.
Cheers Mike, its a Radtec one.
Love the wheels, where did you get them from?
And to proove I made them!
Simple but effective, also packed in some new grease while I was in there.
Thanks to Mr Muir in generally being very helpful in making me spend money!

Balls!! I didn't even think to look today if the new brakes would be on.
The car looks amazing Gus, really love the mods! Where did you buy the AVO's?
Cheers Matt, I got them third hand but unused from a lad on here.
Was over at the Nurburgring on a two day track day last week, it was absolutely epic. Majority of the laps I didn't see another car, and if I did it was a GT3 passing at speed! Definitely far better and safer than doing TF days.
Car behaved flawless, except from the CV's expanding at speed and rubbing through on the underside on the strut, quick repair with glue and tape and we were going again. Handling was on point and felt very predictable and balanced, and I'm delighted with my choice in new tyres.
Next up is Anglesey, got a couple of small tweaks to make before then.

Great to see this in action!
Car looked Pukka at DN12 mate, i was passenger in the diablo 106 parked nexto you a few times in the diner/TF carpark, saw it go through breidscheide as i was in town, top driving mate.
How did you find the ap'S? what pads do you run ?
Fancy Bedford in November? I'm planning on going back for another session.
Them brakes!! 😍😍 I want!!
Sorry Matt, I'm moving to Brazil in October so won't make Bedford.
Thanks Lukee, his did the GTi get on? I've got F4R pads fitted, can't fault them.
Well this isn't so much of an update, but a starting fresh post, thanks to photofucket. So I'll start by adding some photos back to this 10 page, 11 year history of my S2 Rallye.
During which time I have also taken it on many trackdays and various UK/European driving holidays/adventures!
I'm currently on a expat assignment in Brasil meanwhile the Rallye is resting up waiting on my return, and there's a growing pile of parts ready for it's next evolution.
Excellent stuff Gus, always great to see an update on this!
Now then, an update with some new content! Last year when I collected my 205 Rallye, I also picked up a new engine from Sandy for the 106. I have given in to the 16v lure, and have this nice package (rebuilt engine, loom & DTA) bought from another member ready to go!
Although, it’s not stopping with just the engine, I have a list of other parts that will be going in at the same time, so much I forget what stuff I have bought, but it’s all boxed and waiting to be fitted.
The following is what I have got done since September last year, during various trips home from Brazil.
Great to see an update on this, pretty much the perfect fast road S2 in my eyes!
I can send a DTA sticker!
Proper update mate! SB Power!
what you doing with your old 8v and set up ??
It is all for sale, well I haven't had time to advertise it yet, but I do want to sell it. Engine, box & shafts, manifold, ECU & Loom and some other bits and bobs.
