Default new FRST owner :)

hi everyone just thought i would let you all know i have struck a deal on a really well sorted and solid Fiesta RS Turbo that i will be collecting later this month

i will be making a 5 hour round trip to fetch the car from cardiff and i honestly cannot wait for the drive home.

the spec is as follows

1.6 cvh
fully rebuilt engine with 0.5mm overbore and low comp pistons
new oil and water pumps
reground crank
lightweight flywheel
hybrid t25 turbo wit recent rebuild and brand new exhaust housing
airtec stage 2 fmic
195 chip
stage 4 head
piper 285t2 cam
beige injectors
scorpion exhaust
k&n panel filter
cossie fuel pump
LSD gearbox
focus st 330mm brake set up

as you can see above its got a nice little spec i have already made the decision to take the car to msd for one of there health checks and will have this done on the rolling road so we can see whats what and if needs be get a custom chip done by them

the car had a full restoration not so long ago and has been finished in focus rs frozen white which looks spot on imo.
the resto included new panels/sills/wings/rear quarters/rear valance and was done inside and out also fully undersealed

the current owner informs me that the current alternator is dodgy but it will be replaced before i purchase it, also some lovely person decided to break in the car via passenger lock and pinch all of a £50 stereo.
so it needs a new lock and a slight repair to the door, but im assured that is all thats wrong with the car which i think you will admit is not much at all and easy to fix.

anyway here is a few pics for you all
