back last year this is how my rs2000 looked at brands hatch and this was my daily driver.





not long after that i thought it would be a good idea to make it into a pure track car and tbh i think i went abit ott








in short the car was at one point not even a rolling shell
i spent plenty of late nights at work sorting out the shell ect before i could go any further and like most projects i spent months without even touching it

just after the new year i finally started putting things back on the car with plenty of new parts in the mix.
new roll cage and another trial fit of my wheels



then after another couple of months i finally moved the car home to pride of place on my driveway where she is today and now things are really moving nicely




last week a spent abit of time on refurbing my rear wheels which i think looks the bollocks


and with more parts ect on the cars starting to look like a car rather than a shell

 

the cars spec is as follows
tarmac spec 909 bilstein coilovers front and rear
compomive TH alloys (8x16 et25)
safety devices rollcage plus door bars
sparco rear strut brace
front optional mk5 rs2k strut brace
st170 300mm front brakes
cobra imola2 bucket seats (gt fatboy spec lol)
harnesses (willans)
carbon fibre tailgate (not using it yet but will do when i paint it again)
escort cosworth lower rear spoiler genuine
morette quad lights
laguna spliter

engine spec is

rs2000 engine which was bought brand new in 2002 and has done 13k
uprated kent cams
modified inlet manifold with a 65mm focus throttle body
grpA K&N cone filter
custom made exhaust manifold which ends 2.5ins bore
ss 2.5ins exhaust thanks to a couple of worked rst exhausts lol
just not sure what engine management i`m going to use yet

i`m sure ive forgotten stuff but you get the picture

i do have a brand new quiafe lsd but i need it fitted........

 

Looks really nice mate, I like the MK2 RS2000 style stickers you had onit, think they looked great!

 

hi sainty


looking good mate glad you went for the proper suspension you wont go far wrong with the billys mate , best by far for pound for pound

hurry up and get it done

cheers marco

 

Looks like a good project.

Plenty of RS2000 going down this route it seems

 

cheers guys.

when i was using my rs2k on track last year and the year before i dont recall seeing that many but theyre are getting some popularity now as they can be bought cheap and dont much has to be done to be quick

marco i have the rear suspension on the car and it dont move lol, i`ll sort the front out when the engine is ready to drop in so the whole front end will be done as one.

 

Love it

 

Who's that handsome bugger in the passenger seat ????

heres a couple more pics for you



the pen is only there so you can see just how big the cone is
my new induction hose which fits the big throttle body perfect and my two new gauges (oil temp and water temp)





this is a genuine cossie bonnet but the vents are not and will be replaced as and when, it has a few dents in it but nothing serious plus it getting painted anyway so its no big deal, not bad for 120 quid though

 

Lookin good mate,

Bargain on that bonnet

Cheers

 

looking sweet mate

what gauges are they mate

 

keith they are racetech ones budd

yeah i thought the bonnet was worth owning for that price

Lookin mate but whats with the cossi bonnet? didnt u like the std 2k bonnet?

 

 

Lookin good, how did you get on with the car when you last done a track day? The reason i ask is that im off to the 'ring soon and just wonder what to expect from my motor, and what to watch out for!
