Just seen in the shout box that peeps said the RST SOY is dead How come, as didnt it just have a shit load more work done to it?

 

broken for spares i think

 

6 months behind

 

broken for parts so the owner cld buy a brand new bmw M3 or summit and shell sold on

 

lol Doh seems like a waste of a lot of effort to me

 

I know that the bumper,bonnet and wheels are on a car up here. Belongs to a bloke off here 'Stoo'

 

Get with the times Rhys boyo

 

Broken for spares in 1 evening by meeeeeeee he got Ł14k back and bought a M3 Evo

 

 

14K sweeeeeet

some proper mad bits on it tho including that engine..

 

I got the Seats......................

 

EEk .. 14K.. If thats wot he got back.. Wot did he put out??

 

389 bhp i think it was

 

Who has the engine now??

 

Guy from Surry way has the engine for a S1.....

Ł40k over 7 years was spent

 

Phil bow has Steve's old 3 door and that had the wheels iirc.

Bloody nice chap James. Spoken to him a few times at SCC. He was laughing at me lowering the bus

 

me again signed in as wife

 

enigne is now bolted in the car not running though

 

now running

 

sweet keep us update on how it goes mate

 

Christing-hell-fuck! Seems a little drastic. I thought the car was supposed to be a bit of a legend in certain circles. Apparently not.
Seems to be little point in turning 40K, a lot of time and effort and a pretty car into 14K and a sad looking scrap shell.

 

better that then redesign and fit a lampost mod to the front bumper and get fook all for it

james is a top bloke though, hes not all high and mughty up his own arse either and him breaking his car prompted a mate of mine to ask about the engine and get money together and find he never had enough for the engine and so offered me 4k for my engine, cheers for that james

was a nice car, just dont think he was happy with it when he finished

bet hes happy with hes M3 though

 

I had no idea the car had been damaged. That is indeed a terrible shame.
I only heard of it and saw pictures of it for the first time a few months ago.
I had hoped it would still be doing the rounds and i'd get to see it in the flesh sometime.
I thought it looked absolutely fantastic which is rare as i'm not usually that keen on red cars. I was very impressed by the original ideas, like the opening quarters and the Japanese style headlight vent.
I for one regret not getting a chance to see the old girl for real. RIP SOY
Never got to meet car 57 either

 

it wasnt damaged !!! i was sraring that 389bhp not on full boost as it was never finally mapped aint a good thing and thats how it could have ended up

its just a car anyway

 

was about to say its a shame he breaked it, but 14k breaking a beantin!!

shame he couldnt have spent the 40k on a proper quick car at the start! but at least it gives all the ford boys something to talk and wank over!

 

389 Brake!
Jesus Christ!
Was it dynod at that?
What the hell was he running in it?
That's over a hundred brake more than mine and mine is just stupid.
I would have thought that you simply could'nt put that kind of power down successfully through the front wheels.
Imagine the torque steer - Yuk! Enough to criple a Rhino.

 

read about sunny's fiesta dude

 

ill have to come see this beasty of a series one you keep on goin on about Mart

 

A few pics after I had put it all back together for James........ about 12 months b4 stripping it and selling it on

 

Flip! Obviously not a 1597 then.
Cheers for the pics Steve
I hadn't seen in the boot or under the bonnet before. The prep in the boot looks fantastic.
The car seems even better to me now and i'm even more shocked about it being broken.
Is anyone gonna re-use the shell? It would be a terrible waste not to, it looks extremely well finished.

Oh, and Baz, you've got me intrigued mate. What's the score with Sunny's Fiesta? It's not a black one with black wheels by any chance is it?

 

No.. Sunny had the green FRST mate.. Black one belongs to Paul.J

 

sunny did have the fastesd fiesta turbo around using a trick gearbox
but the black one has just past sunny so i would say there not
far of the same but using zetec engine's
