And S2

http://passionford.com/forum/ford-es...other-one.html

RST is back on original wheels now, bonus is much quieter cos doesnt have the drainpipe exhaust but i'm still not sure!

cheers for the help & comments, lookin like the Bonus might be the winner on the basis that your right mate, will be loads of red S2's plus clutch on S2 has started to slip on high boost!

lol @ pug comments, neither car is on show but there will be a few cool fords in the convoy so suppose pug was a silly suggestion....albeit the cheapest

ha ha nah one is more than enough, my bro was gonna take the other but cant make it now.

sorry rob, meant to say, hard to say which is quicker cos the S2 is the quickest one i've had, but the Bonus goes very well, in sayin that it needs a 4 branch and better exhaust cos gettin a bit strangled high up i think.

Bottom line i think is a gold 2.0 Bonus is much rarer so spent the weekend sorting wee daft bits to make the drive bearable
