Hi all, new to the site Just become a proud owner of the series 2 RST so thought i would join the site and show my face and get to know a few fellow ford fanatics. I will apologise now, but will be nagging and pickin at some of your brains as in the coming months im going to be 'attempting' to build my own 2.1 ZVH motor, and will need advice and a bit of help from time to time. Here's a couple of pics of my new RST. Spec aint too bad (about 200BHP ish) but like all im after more power

chers for any comments and future help in advance

 

Looks nice

 

love the plates not so sure your local plod will aprove

 

lol, they dont mate trust me, but there is always a loop hole in the law.....and number plates are one of them

 

looks like a nice example, u may wanna check out the bonnet vent which has been removed due to the fact it is sitting directly above ur cone filter! im pretty sure its not a gud idea to get that wet!

 

got the vent mate, just take it out on dry days so cooler air get sthe filter. Goes back on every night

 

sounds good. loving the mud flaps! want some for mine!

 

do i sense sarcasm

 

i no that car very nice seen it at jeff bloors

 

dont even mention geoff bloors....excuse the pun, buth the bloke should be avoided. Shoddy workmanship and costantly fobs u off with cock and bull stories aboutn ot being able to get hold of parts!!!

 

Care to explain ?

 

of course...the law with number plates is a very grey area. Now in the highway code, the law states that prefix must be of a particular font, spacing and size. They must be clear and free from all obscurities whether it be dirt, towing bars etc.

It doesnt however state anywhere about the font colour and background pre 1992. THus being able to sport black and white number plates.

I have been pulled a few times for them but have yet been shown anywhere about the colours pre 1992.

so they are u go all, hope that helps

 

I have similar plates, and I was under the impression these cannot be used on cars post 1972? or is it 79? either way my car is too new for them. It would be interesting to find any offical website documentation to back this up either way however

 

if u find summat let me know mate. police seem unable to find one but ya never know.

 

plates are illegal mate

Was this car on Ebay a few weeks ago?

I know what you mean about Mr Bloor melted my wiring loom whilst changing the cam belt a few years ago.

Cheers

 

yep, the very same. was gonna get rid but decided to keep it.

Getting my RS back on monday then it aint going anywhere else other than nobles

 

Looks smart mate, plates do look nice on it but not sure i'd want the attention from the police all the time!

Nice car!

 

Good to see another Grey S2

 

best colour if you ask me

 

I wouldnt have any other

 

Looks very nice mate. Was thinking bout some of those plates for mine but still not too sure I want the hassle.

 

to be honest, i do get a bit but not as much as you might think

 

Might just stay a bit more sensible and get a slightly cut down plate for the front and a standard one for the back.
