Default S2 RS Turbo

As you all now in the passed 2 years I've had a fair few cars.

Escort Cosworth Big Turbo - 500bhp
Mk1 Focus RS
Mk2 Focus RS until 2 weeks ago.

I got a company car now and couldn't justify having the RS sitting doing nothing so went out and bought a classic.

It was restored a few year back and is MINT. Cleaner than my MK2 RS haha.

Its got

Koni shocks and springs
Cosworth disc conversion with Bias valve
Cam
Pulleys
Big Garret turbo
Pace FMIC
All red hoses
Chipped
Twin fans
Few chrome bits
Full magnex 3" system

There is more but I haven't properly had a look through the history.

Full service history
1 years mot
6 month tax
Every receipt from new and invoice including the bill of sale.

I'm in love.

Picked up new plates for it yesterday.

Also got pulled over by the police going to get fuel yesterday as he said he had one back in the day and wanted a look around it. Nice guy for once.

Done 250 miles in 2 days with it.

2 issues with it.

When you put the handbrake on the light doesn't show on the dash.

When starting it from cold you need to wind it for about 3/4 seconds then it fires up.

Thanks lads.
I love it, put a few coats of polish/wax on her today.

Ah will need to check that.

It also needs the bonnet stay grommet and clip to on the slam panel to hold it in place.

Managed to get the bonnet stay clip/grommet for £4

Not checked the handbrake switch yet.

Just love the smell inside it. Brilliant.

Who's your brother pal?

Yea I looked into it, it has had the chassis legs welded and a few other bits.

He was after £2500 with a years MOT on it.

Yea will put some of the engine bay up later lads.

Nice red airtec hoses on it.

Bought all the service kit and a few little bits, managed to get it out last night for a run. I love it. Love the smell off it haha.
