Up for sale is my M reg RS1800 commonly known as 'the MANJ'
Really do not want to have to sell it but due to circumstances I need to free up some cash and selling up the Fiesta is the easiest way.

Now to the car itself....

Man I love this car and have just about that money to buy a new runaround, but not sure if its sacrilage to use this as a daily hack because its so mint! Love it though!

RstAaron.

I use it daily at the mo mate, enjoy driving it too much to leave it sitting for any length of time lol.

is it in using the standard focus ecu and loom??

looks well smart, so cool with the 6 speed aswell

well priced

RstAaron.

Yep, all the Focus stuff on it. With the 6 speed, if anyone wanted to up the power, there is no big hassle with blowing up boxes

Looks well that, although I liked the RS 1800 seats anyway

You take a saxo vts, 16 inch comps ( off my red Orion ) and some cash?

Loved this car since it was in fast ford back in the day, GLWTS

RstAaron.

Cheers guys. Got a couple of copies of the article when it first had the St lump. Will keep 1 of them as a reminder of the car. Gutted I have to sell it.

How longs it been built and gave you got any interior pics?
Will sort some pics out of the vts tomorrow.

RstAaron.

IIRC, Jimmy who built is is 9 Engineer Regiment (Para) so it should have been built properly. I very nearly bought this car a few years back but the deal fell through.

Thats a Tidy Fiesta mate! GLWS!

If i wasnt getting my balls chewed for having too many cars i'd be interested in this!

RstAaron.

Sorry not the best quality pics as they're off of my phone but shows the seats are in very good condition and the flocked dash.

slammedorion

You got any upto date pics of the paintwork? You've had some paintwork done have you?

RstAaron.

Not got any since the paintwork, had the sides done to get rid of what looked like had been hand painted front wings and some reaction on the rear quarters. The paint is a lot better now but could possibly do with a cut to get 100% IMO. The paint is a lot better than when these photos were taken though. Unfortunately going away for the weekend now but should be able to get some pics Sunday afternoon/ Monday morning of it's current condition.

slammedorion

Ok cheers. Not had time here to sort pics Eva.
One more question. The brakes. . . How bad are they?

RstAaron.

Brakes lack initial bite, put firm pressure on and you're ok. Does take getting used to but you learn how to use them. Saying that they DO need sorting, main thing that lets the car down really.

frsjon

my baby! if i had the money id but it back ! awesome car and definately worth the money .

some more pics for you











the brakes take some getting used to as it runs a bias box,in my opinion a pair of better master cylinders would make it alot better as i changed everything else...a great car!

RstAaron.

Cheers for that bud! It is an awesome little car, didn't plan on ever selling it but needs must.

GLWTS Aaron, i know you didnt want to do this, but needs must and all that.

JayCC

Is there a build thread anywhere for this? I absolutely love it.

frsjon

the actual engine conversion might still be on ft.com if you search jimmyesh,i owned the car for around 3 years up until the begining of this year.it was fairly standard to look at (engine bay) when i got so i put my own touch on it.the underside was stripped down,and any rust was sorted and then gravel chipped and painted.the exhaust was fabricated from a rs1800/frst scorpion system including a FIA aproved 100 cell race cat. ive owned many fiestas but never had one that went round corners like this one! (due to the built in negative camber in the rear beam). and as ive said if i had the cash id buy it back! great fun on the road/track.

just to add the flat spoke comp mo's are 7.5 x 16's and took me forever to find a set!
it has a bailey header tank and all the focus running gear is as the clocks say on 40k as it all came from the same car (20 odd k when converted )

slammedorion

Saxo vts pics.

















Will post somemore later.

RstAaron.

Fresh pictures. Didn't have time to give the car a proper polish up due to it getting dark so early and needing to take the pics before it ws too dark!!

JayCC

I'd fucking love this car. Wish I had the cash. Good luck bud!

RstAaron.

Cheers mate!

To add, I'll take pretty much anything in px. Car, motorbike, quadbike, parts whatever as long as there's a minimum £1k cash my way. Will also deliver any where in mainland uk for cost!

RstAaron.

Bored at work bump.

why would you sell this mate looks minty mint and kind of in the sleeper category with a modern reliable/pokey engine

would deffo have this and keep it for next year, looks spot on mate

GLWS

RstAaron.

Only selling it because I was fucked over by a 'mate' and now I need the cash.

JayCC

Honestly, keep it 6 months and then I'll have it. I was thinking of shit I could sell to buy this last night

Like a fucking child with the latest toy! "I want it!!!"

slammedorion

It won't be forsale for that long.
