Id say stick with it mate but like a couple of the other guys have said mate if you getting to the point were your getting stressed and your looking at it wondering why youve got it then get rid of it but again when the summer comes youll regret it.

everyone says get a cossie get a cossie face it cossie's are different to rst


im spending about £800 on my car a month at the mo literally last month i spent £1100 on my car in a month, and i absolutly love it and its nearly finished now nearly ready for the road but theres still so much more to do body work still loads more engine bits that i can buy, but i just think ive still got years im only 20 so im gonna keep it and do it in the years to come i have with it.

Once ive done everything i want to its going in to a dry storage garage so i can wait and see what happens to the price of them

if its only mapping left and you get a good deal its worth doing as it gives you a power figure for if you break it and also if you sell whole shows its a proper bit of kit

It sounds like you have a well put together car. If i'm honest i'm surprised as to the thought you have put into it, it's quite refreshing.

I think you will be surprised at just how quick a proper Zetec turbo is.

I have same things in my mind. In this phase of life i wish i had thrown all those money and effort to some kind of real classic car, or car which at least have good handling.
S2 rst is always broken or needs attention. Handling is pretty terrible in corners and car is no real classic. Usually people see it boyracer car. My car has 267.3bhp and it has been pretty much rebuilded. It lays 95% of time in the garage. What of waste of money.
I know i could sell it, but here in FI rst is so little respected car so i can get maybe 3500€ and it will be really silly to sell it so little price.

1989
78.000miles / 127000km

Or what you think?

It is a shame it's not respected in Finland as that is a excellent example!
