Afternoon - I've just registered on the forum, so thought it best to introduce myself

I'm Nick, 19 years old from Lincoln shire. Pretty much a total petrol head and have been for years!

I currently own a 106 XSi which is sat on my drive with no engine! I previously owned an S1 rallye which i stuck a 106gti engine in with S1 box, peugeot sport dampers. basically a fast road set-up.

I've just built up a decent spec gti engine for the xsi (cam's, gasflowed head, lightened and balanced, KMS standalone management) But over the past few months i've pretty much lost interest in the car

i've always been a big lover of RS turbos (even though im french through and through at heart!) As when i was younger my best friend's dad had an S1 ERST as a track car with a naturally aspriated YB!

I'm looking at selling up my current project and getting myself either an S1 or S2 rs turbo. I'd love an S1 but with the growing rarirty and the fact i'd be using it everyday i'm straying towards the S2.

I'm just looking for a few peoples opinions on the car, What they are like to drive as apposed to 106's (if anyone has previous experience) A friend has just bought a Mk3 fiesta RS turbo and this has what's tipped me over the edge, i just have to have one!

I'm up in lincolnshire, would love to come and have a look at a few escorts before i totally make my mind up on selling my current project so if there is anyone localish to me willing to let me have a butchers at there car it would be greatly appreicated,

Looks like a great forum you have going and i will be looking forward to sticking around, hopefully (should i have the bottle to sell my car!) i shall also have a car to match soon!

Nick.
