Name the 100 differences in the S2

[GeoffSmith]

Geoff, please explain why you think the Cat is an improvement ?

I could go all green and touchy-feely about it being better for the environment etc. but I won't because I changed the heading of my post to SE/S2 DIFFERENCES. Don't want a grumpy birdman of Birmingham do we?

Happy New Year everyone.

The console is an improvement as it doesn't get in the way.

So you can use the same key for the doors as for the glove box can you Monty ?

Can't class i bloody glove box as a door now if the doors and ignition key was on the same key that would be an improvement

Yes they are - that is what I've been trying to say :

S2 - 1 Key is all you need for everything
SE - About 6 different keys

[Dico]

Out of the list of 10 you originally stated the wheels ( lighter )

My arse lighter!

unless you started this just to wind peeps up ??????

What Gayry?

[Paul.P]

Actually thought the S2 wheels with tyres were lighter then SE with tyres Paul , but not sure , you should know !

This is a wind up thread by Gary !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, pity really, it could be quite interesting, talking about what Lotus did with all the left overs from SE production !

Downer:
I wish they hadn't run out of rear jacking points when they built the S2

Upper:
We get a nice little plate on the dashboard giving our Limited Edition number and get to go on Gaza's spreadsheet

I've got an SE but just to keep this thread on track I'll give a balanced opinion!

Cat = negative!

Locks/keys = positive

Suspension = +ve

and an extra one for you, gear change cables less likely to break!

why didn`t u just say 1 key for doors, ignition etc
as the last time i looked the ignition doesn`t have hinges

Since i`ve got the S2 front & rear upper links, OEM rear galv wishbones and a brand new S2 steering rack (to be fitted in the summer). + S2 hood and S2 wheels and don`t think the S2 is any better than Pinky

[Monty]

Geoff, the thread is about improvements over the SE

[GeoffSmith]

Look at the title of my post.

Does that make Pinky a TransveS2ite ?

[Monty]

Look at the title of my post.

I know but thats the title of u`r post not of the thread that u are posting in. Sy can u sort Mr S out

















U`ll have to get Gary to change the thread title, other wise this is going to be a long thread

Not quite think it`s more TransveS3ite, since there`s a few aftermarket bits on her

When he said "improved colours" and "medina green" in onr breath, you just new he was extracting the urine. Whoops, the colours got missed off:

1. Catalaytic converter
2. S2 wheels
3. Suspension changes
4. Steering changes
5. Hood improved
6. Dash lights always on
7. Centre console changes
8. Different Jack
9. Same key for all locks

13. Five years younger
14. Exclusivity
15. Gear change
16. No carpet on hood cover lid
17. Single jacking point
18. Extended colour range, including that subtle shade of puce called MG
19. Fold away handbrake

any thread about S2 improvements over the SE is bound to be long
