im from a small village called kilbarchan, next to johnstone, about 3 miles from glasgow airport. As for plans im thinking of a grs intercooler plus a set of cams, AVA reckon itll be just short off 200bhp then.

Nothin wrong wi the clears IMHO, reckon the spots should go back on, if ya can find a decent pair of ford spots and brackets for a reasonable price

Love the S1's, yours is no exception!

Always loved them, just about the only RS that looks better than a nice clean, red S2 (bar the Escos of course)!

Lovely ride mate

car was on the rollers yesterday, now for the embarresing bit, ive been saying to peeps it made 158 at the wheels, it was actually 138 the last time, made 139.8 yesterday. Listening to all the gobbledegook from the guy on the rollers i thought he said ad on 20bhp to your figures for loss on the rollers, its
20 bhp on top for the flywheels figure . Still happy with what its pushing out.
