must see in person to realise how good this car really is

 

stunning, its got the wrong wheels though hasnt it?

 

yeh think it had the 2wd 1's(cheese graters) as standard

 

I do like a Rouse saph not overly keen on the side skirts but you need a meaty set of alloys with those skirts, standard rims look total pony,

the best ever Rouse saph for me is Doo's car, black with six spoke MO's phucking phat

the "lattice" alloys were fitted to earlier 4x4's too fella, they are not specific to 2wd saphs "shark tooth" alloys came on later cars which were 4x4

both of these wheels look crap on a Rouse saph, you need meaty alloys to carry off those side skirts

Not a fan of the styling and the turbo is far too small to interest me TBH, but the front seats are nice and that one seems to be largely in good order, as above though why on earth would you be trying to sell a 10K car with minor faults that are supposedly easy to rectify, if thats the case just fix it so you can sell it as spot on!

 

doos was the best rouse i know of, it was just perfect, follwed very closely by his mate who used to own the silver one

 

Wasnt it Doo who put a T34 on his though, and thus it just wasnt even vaguely a rouse anymore in terms of the fact that the whole point of the rouse was a smaller turbo to make it more responsive not a bigger than standard one to make it laggier?

Or am I remembering the wrong car?

 

did the rouse not come with leather interior? and diffrent seats

 

Thats what I thought?

 

It did have a different Turbo on it, my 304-R retained its original turbo and was quite simply lovely to drive as an everyday car as it just had no lag

trying to source an original turbo now would be extremely difficult

that model is missing the plaque off the cambelt cover, no pictures of the different fronts seats no pictures of plaque on bottom of drivers side B-pillar

the rear bumper strip is only available for the top half of the bumper the extra add-on wrap around uses a totally seperate bumper insert which aren't available, need the stickers for the boot and on the rubbing strips

my thought they have got lazy couldn't be bothered to get the stickers made up and couldn't/can't find the rear bumper strips shame cause with little work and some extra thought that car would be finished off as it should be

 

You got rouse saphs with fabric interior as far as im aware i saw one for sale a while back im sure it is the winged seats in this car

 

Totally agree jimmy,doo,s was a cracker

 

can hardly be considered a good example of the breed then when the single most important part of the car has been fucked off into the bin and replaced with one that does the exact opposite of what the rouse was supposed to achieve.

ok if you just want one cause you think it looks nice I guess, but driving it wouldnt have given anyone any hint at all at what a proper rouse should drive like.

ie like so:

 

Cracking condition car, but totally different experience to drive to an original spec rouse!

 

Here's DOO's rouse saph it's stunning

If you want a rouse for how it looks, thats got to be one of the best examples ever

If you want one for how it drives though, its obviously completely useless as it no longer would drive anything like a rouse.

 

Yes mate this style of seat, did them in cloth too, this one is my drivers seat


Go to the scrappers and find an old skool saab 900 turbo, that was the same turbo that Rouse used smaller turbo so it spooled up quicker with less lag

Nice 1 Kev

the seats came in leather and cloth, they also made a different design pattern on the rouse 250-r whch was a dohc turbo 8v
