Default My pride and joy s2 RST :(

Well i have owned this little gem for four years now,bought it from a neighbour,he owned it nine years and it was two local guys before him so its had very low local owners.The day i bought it i started polishing/modding/servicing it,it had 60k on when i bought it as it was a third car for the previous owner.She was no where near mint tho had to polish and polish it before it started gleaming again,iy was also completely standard.I started the money spending by fitting new injectors,re-con metering head,new fel pump,cam belt,mobil 1 etc etc etc.I fitted all new front end bushes inc new tca's and track rod ends.A couple of years down the line i decided to rebuild the engine at about 82k,i had the block (original block with original number on) skimmed and rebored .5mm using standard comp mahle pistons.New oil pump,shells,all new gaskets,new sump,water pump etc etc.I spent a lot of time and money making sure it was built right.The cylinder head has been ported and polished with new smoothed guides etc and a new piper t2 cam kit with pumaracing double valve springs.Piper vernier pulley to set the timing and all new ignition system.Whilst the box was out i had it reconed and i fitted a new uprated organic clutch.The engine had three oil changes in the 1000 mile running in period before the mobil 1 started to flow.I have fitted a stage 3 turbo techinics turbo and a grs intercooler.The engine/turbo/gearbox has covered 8k since built,no miles at all last year due to spending most of it in a body shop having a full respray in radiant red.
Around 4 months ago i started converting her to run efi,i have got as far as fitting efi inlet with beige injectors,fitting sierra crank pulley setup,xr3i wiring loom,i have all the sensors inc a ofac ecu running a motorsport development chip.This needs finishing off and tidying up.Oh and i fitted new starter and alternator.
The car has cosworth brakes all round with nearly new discs and pads.
Wheels are wolfrace with 225/45/16 pirrelli rubber.


I am selling my baby due to having no time to finish her as my cossie takes up a lot of time plus i have been promoted at work so im now there 60 hours a week,also the very recent damage to the bodywork has sent me over the edge.The n/s rear quarter has been keyed whislt in my very secure and dry garage.This was done by my alcoholic step mum fucking bitch she is.

I have around 6 grand in reciepts for parts alone on this car,thats without the cash items i have ought at shows etc.

The car needs finishing,simon at FF promised a feature on this and its very sad im not gonna get her to this point.

Please if you are interested make a genuine offer,if no interest i my consider breaking her
