yep got it from neil car needs a bit of tlc bodywork and wheels now done changing interior to cream leather with red piping got a small prob with turbo cutting out at high revs will sort out soon [8D] car of my dreams silver rose rules

 

[Diver944]

That's probably the standard overboost protection cutting in. Its designed to cut fuel if you go over something like 0.85 bar of boost for more than a few seconds. It will reset and allow full boost after some gentle driving or a switch off and on of the ignition.

Do you have some sort of boost valve on the banjo bolt on the intercooler pipe directly behind the air filter housing? Most Turbos will have this to compensate for the old and weak wastegate. It could be yours needs winding down a notch.

thanks for trhat paul i'll have my garage to investigate all this turbo stuff is new to me(except my company diesal french cr*p) i was a bit concerned about the problem but can now be sorted we will have to meet cos i cant wait to shoe her off you still get a shiver when you turn heads in a car thats 16-17 years old[]

 

[Diver944]

The Walton Hall TIPEC event would be a good chance next week. There will be lots of Porsche there, and a quite a few Silver Rose.

Last year (or maybe the one before - I forget) they had a lineup of 10 Silver Roses

Hello. The SE was a Porsche Cars GB runout edition, designed to make the remaining stocks of unsold cars more attractive as the 968 was introduced. Id take the comments youve received so far with a pinch of salt.

Sounds a nice car all the same. I'd change the belts now for piece of mind and you know they've been done.

 

[Andy H]

Thanks xenon, its one of the first things I always do with any car, as you say , peace of mind.

Id like to take the big SE decals off the sides (personally I think they look tacky) but was prepared to leave them on if it was something significant to the model.
Cant find a lot of information yet thats specific to the car, and what upgrades if any the SE had, .
Funny how the kids talk to you again when youve got something a bit tasty to drop them off in.(well better than a megane or the Volvo)

 

[xenon]

As far as I remember, the SE upgrades consisted of the bridge spoiler and a different map which liberated a few more horses (220 up from 211 I think)

 

[Alpine]

It must certainly be one of the very last S2s as an S2 on a K plate is pretty rare I think

Welcome to the Forum Andy.

Despite the reason behind it, a real SE is very unusual - I don't think I've seen one yet. The badging is part of its heritage and I would keep it myself. If ever you came to sell the car it could give you a slight edge over another similar but less exclusive example.
