Finally picked up my RS, 1st time owning one and totally in love with it, starts 1st time, brakes are brilliant, its fast and looks good.

Keep getting Wa****s pulling along side for a race, but other than that i,m loving it!

Pics to follow soon.

 

the honeymoon period doesnt last long wait till the bills start coming in you will be heart broken lol

get some pictures up though

 

Its a G plate, with a FSH 104,000 fully document miles almost everything is new.

Fingers crossed it starts today lol

 

had mine about 5 years now... still love it but christ dont want to think on the money gone into it, and its far far from concourse!

infact im just about to go outside with the wet vac while its dry and get rid of the swimming pool in my footwell lol

 

Ah well guess i wont have to buy that foot spa

 

With RS`s its really a case of you get what you pay for, Just look after it and buy a f**king big tool box for when it brakes My m8 has one 2.0 ZVH only brings it out after work and it gets thrashed then he goes home but its verry well looked after regardless of cost and 6 months later its still going strong.

 

i had mine for just under hours when i broke mine

all is good so far now though, after a few teething probs they can be reliable with a bit of mechanical knowlege

Mine is running 11psi, no horsepower figures as yet, paid 2100 which included new wheels and tyres. It had a Ford Gearbox rebuild, and clutch 6000 miles ago. Mine has got a cosworth 4 pot caliper brake conversion on the front and rear disc conversion all quite new, its got newish Spax suspension and a new standard exhaust. The interior is totally standard and mint condition.

Sounds like you got a good deal.

 

nice not a big fan of the wheels tho

 

Thanks.......Wheels personal taste eh

 

Very nice car

 

cant be bad mate, dont be put off by having to work on them its intresting

 

arhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh how i miss mine now!

 

Looks nice

 

hi fella
not a bad price for your rs at all
the cvh is easy to work on and if you get enjoyment out of working on it its a bonus as i do all my own work
you must get a manual for the car and work by that and you can't go wrong
it aint to scary once you have done a few jobs on it
just keep to the rules and you wont blow it, watch your temp gauge and if you dont have a oil pressure guage get one ,cams wear quick so any tapping from the top end needs sorting asap
just remember if you look after your car it will look after you
if you want to save a few quid do the work yourself and dont listen to idiots
i use mine as an everyday car like all my rst i have had and none have let me down coz its all in the upkeep ,parts and work can be dear so learn how to do some bits and youself will save a fortune
never cut corners as you will pay the price in the long run
if you need any help you know where i am pf

Alright Geezer, thanks for the advice and help...............by the way i aint a fella

 

looks nice,needs lowered a bit more
ive got a mongoose exhaust if ur needing one

i am very sorry to refer to you as a fella its just the norm for me as we dont get that many ladies on the rs seen, you must understand me sorry very sorry
mark2

 

firstly i aint being a perv but just read your first post again
they must be pulling along side you not to race but to get another look so you must be good looking ( grovel grovel )lol
glad you have come over to the dark side
what did you drive before the rs
mark2

 

Using a standard exhaust due to its my daily drive........but thanks......from Aberdeen

 

Standard exhaust

Not sure on the wheels either but looks a nice one, I'd go for a set of Black std rims.

 

Hahaha cheers mate............Drove a Punto........no much difference eh

 

Not seen this going about, will have to keep an eye out!

 

Please do.............

 

Where were the pics taken, I'm trying to work it out!

 

They were taken down in Perth.........hence the not been able to work them out

What do you have?

 

104,000 miles is a lot for a G plate. Mines a D plate and only done 73,000 miles engine just covered 6,000

not bad needs a good clean up, be ready for spending that all i shal say

 

try owneing a series 1 then u are talkin haveing to spend ŁŁŁ$$$

 

don't talk shit!

nice car

 

Car is 19 years old so if you average out the miles its hardly what i would call high considering its a daily drive........
Touch wood no had to spend any money unless petrol counts!!!!!!!!

 

Thanks..............so far loving owning an RS they a joy to drive and attract may an admiring glance.

 

I HAD MINE ON THE ROAD FOR 25 MILES BEFOR I HAD TO PHONE RAC LOL..

 

love it - dont mind the wheels mysel but mondeo 16s or standard mint wheels would really suit it

 

I was thinking on going black with the wheels when it came to replacing them
