The guy that owned it before me imported it with no wing and no sunroofs due to them causing rust.i would of loved the sunroofs tho! the wheels are called prodrive i like them but want a set of deep dish 5 spokes

Never seen a S2 260RS over here. Did it come without the rear spoiler or did you take it off?

Wheels suit the car - what are they?

Hi Alex, have a few minor plans i.e exhaust, english conversion of stereo...... but maintaince and filling the 80litre tank with 98($2.32 in NZ at t moment) seem to soak up a lot cash. She is sitting pretty low, maybe a little too low but haven't had any trouble with the law so far, just speed bumps :D Thanks for the warm welcome :thumbsup:

Welcome Christian!

Looks low! Any plans for it, or just a cruiser?

Plenty of info around on here to answer many of the common questions- a search will give you most of the info! Hope you enjoy your stay!thumbsup.gif

I like it too Dale!thumbsup.gif

How much power? Is this the one that we got a couple of teaser shots from with the engine build?

My only wish would be some larger profile tyres to fill up the guards a bit, and I'd say I'd want some decent rubber under me when your going to put that snail into action- not Achilles!

Thats the first 260RS I have seen with the same bar as my pretender.

Do your foglights do anything useful towards lighting up the road?

I ask as mine don't.

Nice looking car. I generally prefer my S1 but that looks better than the S1 260RS models I have seen. Also prefer the rear spoiler shown rather than the semi detached ones ususlly seen on 260Rs. Would like to see it with roof bars gone.

After sitting in the garage too long and getting a flat battery. I decided to take the beast to Bathurst since we were visiting friends over the weekend. Took a +700km round trip from Hunter Valley through Bylong, Ryelstone and Bathurst and back.

No other sports car I know of can "consume" all this luggage and camping gear for 2 adults and two lil girls under 5 years old. All this weight on board and it is still quicker than ANYTHING on the road...

Car looks great. Where did you got the roll bar setup from ?

It came with the car when I purchased it. I am led to believe it was imported into Australia with it already installed. Its an 8 point roll cage.

I love it Global Warmer. I have to agree, these cars are so versatile. Last weekend we took it camping, this weekend we loaded it with furniture one day and then the next day hit Mt Nebo for a bit of fun :)

Thought I'd jump on board and post some photos, not that it doesn't look like every other factory Axis at this stage :)

Photo's are pre-import thanks to Iron Chef Imports.

Few modifications since then.

    • Oof, I don't think you should add it up like that! It sounds much better at $21 per issue. I don't see any problem there if you enjoy the process and the result. I really like the magazine side of it with all the little tidbits and facts. Also, if anything, these forums are all about spending unreasonable amounts of money on hobbys. I wouldn't call it a self-help group because people generally suggest to spend more
    • I put another 2 layers of putty and still getting pinholes. Think i might either try the filler first then putty or just leave the little specs of guidecoat as is and get primer to fill it in. I think i misread understood what you said above when you said my glazing putty wasnt enough for the size of the area. I thought you meant 1 coat and i needed to. But i think what you meant was that I needed filler first? I also went a bit too far out the repair area as my spreader is a bit large.
    • You do sorta. In my instance they were little specs and I didn't even think they'd be pin holes but it all makes sense now. Huge learnings there!
    • Ah ok that makes sense and it's where i think i went wrong because before when i put filler then putty, i didn't have this issue and now i do because i only put 1 coat of putty. Thanks for that heaps man, it's a good way to put it! With my putty I'm using the dolphin glaze which i just saw it says finishing putty lol. I didnt put filler cause it was a shallow area but i see what you're saying. Also I'm an idiot, i just realised that while i put new putty there are pinholes! I probably saw it before and ignored it for whatever reason. I think because i thought putty is used to fill pin holes that itself wont make pinholes but that's incorrect of course. I feel silly now haha. ok I think I know what to do next. Thanks man!
    • Yes correct, the guide coat is showing low spots, in this instance the low spots are pin holes. I agree wetting the areas makes it more visible (but you can see it's there before you wet it as well lol).  Once the panel is flat, the guide coat will be gone
