Default ***Both my RST's - now with Vid's***

I've been thinking lately how much I miss my old S2's, so thought I would dig out a few pic's. I've not really taken to my G60 like I did the RST's. I duno what it is about the RS, but I have to have another one soon. Also with my work moving quite far away I don't want to be driving the G60 up the motorway every day cos it is going to spoil an possible show & shine winning car.

I'm hoping to move house soon. If I do, I'll have a garage That means I can have myself another S2 to keep in there as a 2nd car. I think I'll get myself a £1000 2i or similar to get to work, so to keep the S2 mint.

So if anyone could be interested in the G60 (spec & pic's are at http://www.corrado-database.nl/index...corrado&id=605 )some time early next year, or will have a mint & quick (200bhp+) S2 (possibly S1) for sale soonish, drop me a PM
Anyway enough of my babbling:

Spec:
Andytech prototype port polished head with matching inlet manifold ports
Std Cam
41.5m inlet valves
39mm exhaust valves
Super Chipped ECU
K&N Air Filter
Forge twin core intercooler
Bailey twin piston dump valve
Full Scorpion exhaust system with 4" outward rolled tail pipe
Hybrid Stage 2 turbo
Flowed Compressor Housing
55 Compressor Housing
360deg thrust bearing
Std Exhaust Housing
Spax 25mm street line suspension kit (shocks & springs)
Goodridge Stainless Steel Brake Lines

New 90 spec bumpers & spoiler
New lights all round, with mud flaps & light covers
Chrome Strut tops
Chrome Turbo heat shield
Chrome Air Filter cover
MDF parcel shelf
Nomad 3 gauge pod
Boost Gauge
Oil Pressure Gauge
Amp Meter Gauge
4 Spoke RS Steering wheel

Rolling Roaded at 8 psi with above spec running 150bhp & 164f/p torque @ wheels, estimated 185bhp @ fly Then set up to run 15 psi which should be running 170bhp @ wheels & that should be approx 200bhp @ fly:

I'll be honest, what the point in buying a S2 purely as a second car if your going to be doing lots of miles in it? Just going to end up ruining it (relatively) and costing you money in the long term. Better off just buying some Mondeo as a company car. And leaving your nice Corrado for the sunny days. It looks really nice in the pics too.

More classy looking than some Mk4 Escort

IMO

I'm not going to be doing a lot of miles in the S2??! I want to sell the corrado & get something like a 2i to commute in & have the S2 as a toy to play with at weekends etc. I do explain that above mate hence the reason I ask "anyone wants to buy the G60" (Corrado G60)

Cheers lads

Thanks all, the next one will be very much the same, but faster!!! Hoping to find a black or white one this time as I've had Grey & Red already - though colour won't be 2 important if the right one comes up.

cossie362, Are you James's mate with the white Saff? Think I've seen you before in burnham when I had the turbo - hitting warp factor 5 past me down by Burnham Grammer School - you were lucky I missed a gear, I can tell ya

DannyC, It's going to be up for about £5,500ono - will of had a service @ Jabba Sport & Supercharger belt & cambelt changed by then 2

Here's some of my 1st tubs

Spec:
Super Chipped ECU
K&N Air Filter
Forge twin core intercooler
Bailey twin piston dump valve
Mongoose exhaust system with 4" outward rolled tail pipe
Hybrid Stage 2 turbo
Flowed Compressor Housing
55 Compressor Housing
360deg thrust bearing
Std Exhaust Housing
Spax 25mm street line suspension kit (shocks & springs)

Chrome Strut tops
Chrome Turbo heat shield
Chrome Air Filter cover
MDF parcel shelf
Boost Gauge

This one was not Rolling Roaded. She was set up to run 17psi with above spec. She had to be around 200bhp @ fly













The sad end

She'll be back soon Dan! Get the head, water pump on, sorted! Its just a poo time of year to have to lay out.

I only saw the grey one a few times and that was spot on, but the red one, wicked! If you could turn back time and all that!! New owner on here at all????

You cant blame me for wanting an RS again, if anything I should be putting you off!!
