Question Rs turbo in oz

Hi everyone !
Will be hitting east coast Australia in the Rs turbo, pretty sure there's only a handful of these but this ones a bit beefed up. Hope you like !!

Nice Car! Love the wide arches, not a big fan of a whale tail on a mk4 though but thats just my opinion! Each to their own!

She will be up and running in January tho along with a re spray and yes the whale tail will also be coming off because the ozzies just don't understand what it is on the back, they refer to it as a shopping trolley at times

I tried to follow the Gartrac Escort because I just loved the wide body look. It stands out tho and the engine sounds unreal, gets some heads turning when I drive around, I will be over to all of the RSOC forums and track days coming up once she's off the dyno, hoping to push over 200hp !!

Intercooler is out of an XR6 Turbo Ford Falcon ( Ozzie car) and the turbo is a T3 hybrid with upgraded actuator. The engine isn't much to look at but by end of January she'll be looking mint and have a bit of poke

Nice car man
I'll surely get in contact with you and meet at an RS day out in the near future hopefully ! Just really hoping I can get mine across the line with all the mods I've heard good things about that Aaron from SCS though, that's why I've him booked in to do the job.. And by the looks of that red Sierra, he seems to know what he's doing, what a car !!

I bought my one here,
QLD doesn't have to go accross the pits I don't think,just need the mod plate I believe,
My one has the compliance plate but that was 20 yrs ago when it first came accross

Looks nice and mean from the front, the cossie rims do look nice but just don't look big and wide enough to feel up those big arches, and ill take that rear whale tail spoiler off doesn't look right a nice 90spec spoiler will suit it.
