Finally got a chance to get some decent pics in the sunshine So here she is

 

Looks well nice, I'm pleased for you mate
Looks a nice one too as they are hard to find

 

Cheers

Yeah she's pretty straight, bit dodgy on the drivers inner wing and think the bushes need doing, but otherwise no probs

Did the drive up to Silverstone for Forad Fair no problem, even sat in queues with no sign of over heating

Spec is : stg2 head (+ unleaded conversion), hybrid turbo & -31, 195 chip, kent cam, pipercross, Scorpion 4", Spax top adjustables, plus the Samco and Baily d/v

Came with an RS 4-spoke but already had a 3 spoke so swapped that over Wanna get my strut brace on it soon. along with some poly bushes, then think about changing to 4x4 coller and custom rad, and upping the boost from 12psi to maybe 15/16? Should be doing about 170/175bhp as it is I reckon, so 15/16 should puch the 200bhp envelope? Gonna knock up a water mist interooler spray system at some point too

 

Ya right Roodster - waited a while for one! Jumped the gun with the first one and jsut bought it cos I had the money and it was there - never a good way to buy a car

This one I was pretty sure was gonna be the one, jsut needed to take ma time and think logically Still, needs that inner wing sorting

Plans are pretty much as the post above yours - sort out bushes and inner wing, then get it all set up on laser aligner and get the suspension and handling real "tight", then prolly do the 4x4 Cos i/c conversion, run some more boost, then I want to get rid of all the bling bling bufty stuff from the engine bay and commision Marcus (RS B1NEY) to made carbon replica's of everything (header tank, washer tank, air box, cam cover etc.... Be a carbon bufty

Might change the exhaust for a Mongoose too... But not sure - although I know the Scorpion is more restrictive, I must admit I do like the tone it makes and is that bit subtler than the Mongoose I had on the last RS....

Just after me last post I decided to go out for a little drive - no reason other than for fun. Been aaaaaaaaaaaages since I actually felt like doing that! Ended up being out for nearly 3hrs! Such a pleasure to drive tho

 

Looks well nice m8 Realy like the S1's. And a good one is rare and hard to find

 

thrush got a tip for ya m8

the centre speaker were you have your guage mounted
visit a scrappy etc and tear off a section from a rear of a 3i or s1 seat, the material matches the dash to a tee remove the speaker grill and guage and cover

mine was done like it and looked well smart, updates the dash a tad as the grills look fookin naff

 

Very nice m8.

 

Lee - actually gonna move that guage to an A-piller pod at some point chap, then probably gonna knock up a triple guage pod to fit flush in that grille section anyway

 

very nice thrush i like it

 

Looks familiar mate !!!

My mates said they say it at Silverstone, and tied to phone me, I said I werent there and they thought that it had been nicked !!!!

Glad u enjoying it, altho the 4 spoke wheel looks better imo lol

Chris

 

very nice Thrush

 

Only thing I didn't like about the 4 spoke Chris, was that the rim ain't properly round, and also has nobberly bits on the back The 3spoke one has a thicker rounder rim with no nobble's

 

very nice

 

Love the S1's...very nice car mate

 

Quality car mate

 

No nobbles eh, I see, never used a 3 spoker b4, but i see u got the old one on ebay, funds towards your engine mods ??

 

Looks good mate, glad you've got what you wanted after such a long time!

Better than that heap Turbo Tom had hey!.......

 

Chris - possibly, but more likely gonna pay for that wing

Dan - fook me you are NOT wrong

 

Aye aye Matt

glad u got on in the end and ditched the skybus idea

 

No no - still got the skybus idea Smit - jsut not the funds

 

after reading the whole post thats pretty much what im looking for & your plans are pretty much how id want my S1 to be when i find 1! she looks lovely - glad you happy with it!

 

mattbibs - well you know what they say - everything is always for sale at the right price mate

 

I know where I'd be in that on a sunny day

Top motor mate, love the S1's

 

i doubt you'd let it go for 4k! as you say - a good 1 is hard to find & if i just bought a minter i doubt 5 or 6k would tempt me to sell it!

give me a bell if you bored with it by april tho!
