well got this rs2000 last weekend comes an brand new 1900 usa tail block and stage 3 turbo and one off s/s zorst. it has been to jamsport and was running on this new mangment they do. And it had some cossie inlet running about 260bhp.But the chap i got it off just broke it and sold all the other good bits off the car I need lots of bits to get this going again he was just going to scap the shell to good to scap so i thought fuck it lets have some fun got all the efi and loom now and just need a rad cooler and front bumer and seats and rear bumper and lots of other small bits doing to it but the bad thing is that a mk5 rear end was Put on becasue he want to make it a wrc look but i am thinking of getting a new mk5b rear end and put it all back to how it should be hope to have this running end of month if it dont rain at the weekends lets see what happens

 

that a cool project!

you need some bits thou

 

nice one!! ill be keepin an eye on this, ive just got a 4x4 mk5b a few months ago and i love it, the grip and handling put the rs turbo to shame!!!!!

Nice one Alex!

Nice little run-around

 

Nice project

 

Fancy a battle white vs. black

 

Looking... kinda sorry for its self


Good luck with it Alex

 

thats going to be kool what are the rs2000 like driving wise and its the 4x4 stright 50/50 or is it more like 60/40 to the rear wheels?

 

Nice project

 

65/35 I think, if it's not then it's 60/40.

Should be alot of fun - looks like a bargain if it came with a 1900 tall block!

Keep us updated Alex - should be alot of fun when finished!

Cheers,

Andy

 

its a 60/40 split, good project it will be great fun with a zvh lump!

be a bit careful with the transfer box as they say about 250bhp is the maximum it can take.

Cheers

Neil
