If I'm straight up honest there's only two things I'm bothered about for next season and it's the UK power tour which isn't confirmed yet but may be April which I'll probably miss if it's that early. And then ultimate street car in August which I hope to be done by, we'll see I'm sure.
Naomi has told me she'll help financially to finish the S2 ASAP because she knows I'll put quite a few bob into hers when we start the engine swap for her mk1 caddy. She's a good egg eh?

So long and short of it bud is I have no idea! Would love to be but I am mentally prepared to miss a whole year of events to get it to how I'd like to be.

I have an M3 which runs 265s and this time of year, with nowhere near your torque, its quite tailhappy

The S65 would suit the S2, revs high and enough torque

Best get it done right the first time mate than slap it together for something to go wrong.

I personally can't wait to see this beast all waxed up on stand,or better yet howling it's way around track

If my misses was helping fund my s2k I would ring her in hours! Lucky sod

You are going about this the wrong way if you've fitted a wheel with an offset which requires a 15mm spacer to clear the brakes.
