I've just bought the rs turbo collectors special and my car is in there I should say that It's as it was in a former life, and I am currently restoring it to it's former glory

I can't wait to get home and show my son that our car is famous



She still looks pretty standard from the outside, but with a monster engine and power steering

P.S. I am chuffed to bits about this.

 

Nice one!

I think i have another couple of pic's of it at the Scottish RSOC show i'll have a look for you

 

did you buy the car as a rolling shell by any chance??

 

 

Nice one mate

 

Stoo, thanks alot for that thats my new screen saver sorted

e11 nwd, yip, why do you know it?

Ant.

 

yes m8 i do! im currently using the 1906 cvh bottom end out of that car in my rebuild
allso have the 1.8 chromed cvh cover to!

 

well if you want to sell em let me know

 

Makes me sentimental seeing it there. Great car, that was the last show i took it to, made 200 at the wheels at AVA the day before

 

Rolling road feature from day before show:









when i first got it, putting out a mere 132 @ wheels, very poorly set up

 

where can i get the rs turbo collectors special

 

Im shocked this car is even running after the abuse it got in scotland




































































Only joking mate, you have got yourself a really good car there, the last owner Holty treated it well








Sometimes

 

WHSmiths mate, in the magazine racks....

 

Nice to see that my car made it in there, in the Pace Intercooler feature!

 

Taken at the RS regional day last year

 

Holty was that before the Fast & Modified RR day figs?

I recal it making 183@wheels, Fast & Modified wanted flywheel figs and printed approx figures rather that @wheels for some strange reason, the pug has been on there rollers a good few times and makes 90@wheels not the 110 as in the article

Nice car M8 just been reading the article in 'The collectors Edition'

 

That was because Fraz added 20bhp per axle to each car running, or something....... You can tell he's never worked on a car in his life eh?

Infact, he don't keep them long enough to work on them

 

hmm. no comment.





As for the state of bideep now all i can say is WOW


Ive seen that car in various states from when holty bought it up to it coming of the trailer at the breakers, but seeing those pics of it im truly impressed.

That said it only did about a thousand miles from holt getting his hands on it the rest was spent in MV turbos getting fettled!

 

Looks wicked in the pics now, a really well looked after S2!

Is it worth getting the Collectors Special, i've seen a few people bitching about the price but its on Ł8 or something FFS!

 

It is expensive at Ł8, but it's a one off special. I pay Ł3.90 for a classic car mag that's half full of adverts - there's hardly any ad's in the special....

 

where is the power steering tank etc. ?

 

I'm not buying it for any ad's tho mate so doesn't really matter, just wondered if there was much info in it, or if it was a good read or not?

 

rs4all

where is the power steering kit tank located under bonnet ?

 

i went evcery where to get this and couldnt, does anyone have the full title and the isbn number as i will see if i can order it through whsmiths???? cheers!

 

its ok now, i have sourced one on ebay cheapy cheap!!!!!

 

Looks very tidy and mint seen it on ebay for sale as a rolling shell

 

is the s1 display laps from national day in this mag?
