Default My S2 rst

I brought this car 3 weeks ago and it looked like this



After some de chaving removeing the tints, new back shelf as it had 6x9s in it and back to the original wheels and mirrors (decided to keep the lights dont need the hassle)
and a trip to pjs (went in with 146bhp plenty of times on the dyno after i ended up with 182bhp) it is driving great (somtimes lol) hope you all like it


not got a pic of the front end since the mirrors was put on

Looking better now SJ.... You could always use those lights to your advantage and use as an intake, otherwise I think I'd lose them

Nice to see another RS saved!

Lose the lights they look so much better.

Mine 3 weeks ago


Today


Well done you got the best colour too.

I went to a local scrappy and whipped all the headlamp fittings and indicator mounts of a cabby that was in there. I also cut off the headlamp looms and just soldered them back to the same coloured wires on my car. It cost me a fiver for all the bits and wiring loom (even got a pair of spot brackets too) The headlamps cost me £2.32 for a pair off ebay and the indicators I bought genuine. Didnt cost me much more than £40 to sort out and a couple of hours work.

Looking good, it's crying out for a 90 spec bumper and the original headlamps. Then you have the dilema I'm having, spots on or off? lol
