My first RST
hi all
bought my first RST a few weeks ago now after having to sell my Fiesta ST, clean enough car, was off the road for a while with the previous owner and the battery tray is still there. Got a dyno printout with the car showing 160bhp which I didn't think was too bad. Not had enough time lately with uni to go over it and see what has been changed/modified think there's a few things feels pretty stiff and the exhaust is massive. Just wondering what the best route to go down is either keep it standard and original or go down the route of EFI with a stand alone ECU.

Black bumper inserts, amber front indicators(ones broke and you already have the side repeaters in amber) and a pair of front spots with the brackets. Maybe a bonnet badge?
Then just polish it.

Your life is now complete..lol
my first rst was also a red one
it all depends on what spare cash you have to spend on it my first thing would to make sure its all running as it should and all bearings and bushes are ok?? defo replace the clear indicators and put a black strip in the bumper inserts as already mention as that will give it a nicer look
