All the more reason to keep hold of your rs turbo's lads. Getting rarer and rarer

ive broken dozens and never paid over 500 for even good ones

but there ar every few about these days, everyone sesm to thisnk they will do em up and flog em fo 10k one day

i know of about 20 laid up in gardens knock em up regular but they dont sell em, even a fair few series 1's, some perfect condition


rs's are worth more whole now, i very rarely sold engines ecu's and turbos unless seen running cos you know they will bit your in thg arse when thg buyer winds up thg boost blows engines and turbos or swaps the guts in an ecu and tells you its a std 1

imo not worth the bother, ive got 4 rst's atm not bothering to break em cos they wont make money for the hassle and crap you go thru

I no of a few sitting about but not many people wanna sell em'.

I picked one up a few weeks ago thats been sitting under a tree for ages, its fairly standard though. The money is in the big spec cars really but as 1.9 xr2 on 40's said it is hassle aswell.

Timewasters are annoying when your selling 1 car let alone 50 bits and pieces off of a car!
