Hi lads I have eventually decided to start work on my rst. I had it over a year running mfi power engineering cam double capacity ic and exhaust when got it. About xmas the turbo let go a bought a stage 3 turbo from Cr turbos and a radtec i/c. Since then i done 12 miles do to a electrical problem that i could not figure out. So i thought i would try deal with that problem strip it out for the summer and track it. Do abit of cosmetics and try trace and re do loom.
