must admit i've never had an RST properly set up on a rolling road, but the one i have the now was set up just before i bought it and it sure does make a difference compared to my others....

to prove a point, in my cul-de-sac there is my mates 07 plate Corsa VXR which has been parked up for 8 months with a blown gearbox and fcuked clutch, now out of tax with three flat tyres! Another mate has left his 51 plate Audi A6 at mine after spending £2k on head gasket being done, ecu replaced amongst other things and its still not right cos it keeps draining battery and hunting on idle, and then my flatmates Escort GTi which needs something looked at/fixed every weekend lol - but it does get a hard time!

my S2 starts first time, everytime, goes very well for the mods its got and is not bad on fuel considering the price and the type of car it is....its also by far and away the cleanest car in the scheme - which most folk notice if they are round! Deffo something to be said for looking after your car and keepin on top of maintenance/polishing!

Prob just jinxed it right enough!!

 

i went through a stage of literally everytime it went out it'd either be limping home or towed. this went on for about 6 weeks and i took it to NMS. initially i just wanted a setup but in the end they talked me into some uprated bits too

very expensive for them to do all the work too but i was too pissed off with it, so let them do it. but its been spot on ever since.

 

my last grey s2 was reliable as, always kept on top of it. you need to keep on top of these things for them to work right

 

Just goes to show that a properly maintained MFI'd RS Turbo is as reliable as any other old car, and that people with really unreliable RS Turbo's usually run them on a shoe string and spend money on making it go faster and not the basics.

Sounds like a nice car you have there, just out of curiosity where was it set up by the previous owner?, as it sound like they did a good job

 

totally agree mate - funny thing is that was me years ago!!!

was set up at AVA in Glasgow - did a great job with it. They also set up my last grey S2 and the difference was unreal.

Quick pic of her:

 

mojo arrows... nice

 

It looks like a well looked after car from that pic mate, someones spend alot of time on that! Enjoy it!

 

Agree completely. Look after it and it'll look after you. I ran my RST for years as my only car and it never failed to get me to where I was going and back again.

 

Thanks mate, she is a nice one! Only bought it for the summer/shows and will be up for sale after Ford Fair, think this is my 7th RST, love em!

she has similar brakes to the ones you are selling, but mine must be a tad smaller as I can fit RST wheels over them, however they need a 10mm spacer - can just see them in this one.

 

Rob... fail

 

I'm sure I've seen You driving about.
Car looks awesome

 

Love the rimage

 

a hate how i broke this car to A make more money and B not have to see it go around,, now its fully built again and 10miles along the road lolol,, still need to meet up ross,

 

Only just noticed that! lol

 

I have never owed an RS thats not reliable. If you maintain it and look after it there is no reason that it wouldnt be reliable.

 

Whats wrong, Mojo, Momo....... personally i think my name is better than theirs lol

 

Whats wrong, Mojo, Momo....... personally i think my name is better than theirs lol next time it do it i will put (joke) next to it for you orion love.
