Hey, just got my rs turbo back from a very big (and very expensive) restoration. The cars had a full metal respray, new wings, bonnet, boot etc. Isnt one part of this car that hasnt been looked and and attended to where necessary. Looking pretty good too i think now!!

15w 50 oil ok to put in it for the summer? cheers

 

I like the last picture best

 

looks smart, colour looks very nice.

 

does anyone know who makes the panels for guages that replace the centre air vent on a s2 please mates

cheers

 

Try www.burtonpower.co.uk for the gauge holder

Cheers

 

How much does a fully restored rs go for these days anyway? (gold member)

 

what wheels are they and what suspension it on looks great by the way

 

koni fully adjustables all around, not sure of the wheels but i know their out of production!

Thanks mate

 

wernt this 4sale not long back but all beaten up looking good

 

nice car, but soz dont like that colour on an rs, its so wrong on an icon.

 

Looks very nice and properly built!

This is mine, not as yellow as yours but still "yellow"......

 

C14KEE looks nice mate, any under bonnet pictures & underneath

 

I'd get some thinner oil in there if its a newer engine - like 5w40 or 10w40

looking very

 

thort tubo engines needed synthetic oil??

 

Nice colour mate, would of got rid of the boot lock aswell for the smooth look

 

Thats the type of oil, the stuff he is asking about is a bit thicker when cold though, 5w40 or 10w40 would be better for it

 

Well with the oil i wanted 10w50 but halfords didnt have any. Rather go for the 15w50 as i know its the one that will work best at the higher temperatures and have a good covering range.
Yea car was smashed up a few months ago, jealous people with a hammer (not a smash) but its up and looking pucka again now. Got 4 throwaway cameras used during the restoration so il have plenty of them to put up to show. Having a nitemare getting insurance tho, even RSOC wont do me becauce ive got a drink driving conviction.
Anyone know of anywhere good?

 

Did contemplate getting the boot done, but if the battery ever goes its the only way to get into the car without smashing anything up

And yellows the only colour for an rs turbo, if ur gona drive a boy racer car u mite as well do it tidy

 

I have a delocked boot, was worried about a flat battery issue,
So I got a Nice heavy cable from my pos terminal tucked away by the front bumber. So I could get a battery pack on it.

Heavily insulated of coarse.

 

Good idea that. Not sure if its something id do tho id be worried id end up blowing something up!! not good with electricity me!!

 

try ecar pall a might of mine has got drink driving ban thats who he is with on a erst hope this helps

 

is your engine really that heavily modified to justify running 50w oil?

And thats not going to be very good for the engine while its cold, 5w50 or 10w50 would be better IMO.
