Winter time working is a nightmare, I'm glad I have nothing (touch wood) to do!
That would be a shame mate

 

yeah i know mate, i think if it come to it they wouldnt make me get rid of it, they just get fed up with it sitting in their garage and it never moving. I want to finish it but ive got so much i'd need to buy for it to finish the cossie management etc. I keep thinkin shall i break it and that'd probably give me enough money to buy a nice enough standard one.

 

mike can you not send it to jano to finish it, or part of it? Mite be cheaper in the long run or give you some more inspiration to crack on if it was running etc?

 

Get mine back from the paintshop, after the full respray, get the t3 conversion cooler etc all set up on a rolling road........then wait for summer before i can drive it

 

Thats a shit mate, what do you actually need to do to finish it?

Rob,

 

2k paint body restore,refurb rs alloys to mint condition.new lights all round,gaskets etc.new uprated exhaust manifold.new exhaust section.new paddle clutch.set up with 5th injector and drive.what ever else comes along the way .thinking of newman cam too if got enough funds. :-p

 

"What are we going to do this winter, Brain?"



"The same thing we do every winter Pinky...."


"TRY TO FINISH THE FUCKING RS TURBO PROJECT"

 

Funny as hell rob,so true

 

ive got to sort out the brakes as never had good pedal feel. To finish management ive got to get pectel board, chip, coil pack driver board, map sensor, tps, air filter, 2 new front tyres, efi rev counter, plus pay the remaining 200quid to jano for the ryan engine bay loom. Seems like a massive mole hill to get it finished lol, and thats without any problems i may encounter like for example if the level 8 ecu doesnt work properly as bought it off a member off here who assured me it worked but thats his word against mine.

 

Fit my new inlet manifold buy and fit megasquirt and sorce a plastic or fibreglass bonnet!

Oh and get the old girl mot'd and drive it hard!!

 

I might have a lot of thim bits mike, I'm at a crossroads with mine at the minute, its either throw the towel in and break it, or keep throwing money in

 

thats the situation im at mate. Do i keep spending on it or do i break it which will hopefully fetch me good money then buy a standard one that maybe needs a little bit of tidying up.

 

Reduce the spending , get it running and enjoy it

I personally wouldnt buy another rst, would go for a cossie instead

I've been using mine recently quite abit and don't feel as if i've been wasting my money (if that makes sense).

But the clouds are looming and I know its coming off the road soon for its clutch and efi, but the bits are ready so shouldn't be too long off the road (providing I can get in booked in somewhere)

cheers

 

dave take it to jano, he is the god of efi conversions.

 

Weather permitting get some mileage on it so i can enjoy next summer with no problems...










Oh yeah i own a S1 dont i so scratch that sure they'll be more problems come next summer....

 

Autumn greetings from Finland. Currently -1 and roads full of studded tyres & salt. Cars all around horrible grey and dirty. RST & Cabriolet has been in the storage since september. Really dont have any plans to spend more money in this winter.

Dont say nothing about bad weather and cold winter there "south" .. U.K
We had last winter -25-30 celsius over 1 month and 70-100cm of snow.
Have to see mid April if weather is good for driving.

 

too right there made to be driven! although im lucky enough to get away with driving mine only when i feel the need as i can walk to work however resisting driving it after spending the last 4 months doing some restoration work and only having her semi road worthy as of last night is very difficulty!

 

keep spending taking one of the road would make you feel guilty!
