Hi

looking to buy an rs Turbo this yr.And a friend of mine has a mint D reg one wiv low mileage full service history etc..What sort of price would a mint D reg go for ? she wants 3k for it .???

Also id be looking at about 180 - 190bhp how reliable are they around that bhp?

thanks for any help

 

i dont think i would give 3k for a D-Reg one mate, unless its really really mint.

180 -190 bhp is reliable as long as the right things are in place and its been setup.

 

you can get a nice 90spec G or H plate for 3k! maybe just a little more!

As for 190bhp aint hard to get with the right bits! buit trust me you wont stay happy for long!! stage 2 turbo (low lag) high lift cam,16psi of boost,chiped ecu,zorst,free flow air filter (ion air box) (NO DUMP VALVE) and either grs,pro alloy,rad tec...(yes even small pace) should see ya around the 180/190bhp mark! and cus you will have small zorst houseing on turbo it will be useable in town too!

 

I done it that was except the cam (i was std) and i have a stg 3 turbo! and piper cross induction!

so thats what i would say for 180/190bhp so long as its on a sound engine!

Tho peeps might disagree with me!

 

i think d reg for 3k is fine as long as there no rot check underneath the car properly and around sills

 

Have a good look for rot around the rear chassis its a bit of a problem on S2 on that year. also the front panel behind the bumper, and front box section,

 

Yeh its bog standard and owned by a girl which cares for it like mad lol

 

yes i would pay 3k for a minter, irrespective of how old it is. unless you have a prob with the 88 spec looks and are just after a 90 spec.

ive known 200hp ones be solid as a rock for a number of years so it should be fine, as said above, if the right mods have been done to achieve that figure!

 

Yeh im really after a 90s spec but hers is very nice and i know she dont rag it .

Not much for sale at the mo .Nothing that has really caught my eye
