I recently got an s13 silvia drift car for messing about in,and having to get tyres fitted met this bloke called jase.thing is his has just restored a mk2 rs2000 and wants to do a deal on my car!! but for the life of me cant decide

s13




rs2000




now being a ford site i think i can guess the answer,but seeing as it passionforddosentmatterwhatudrive.com i dont know

 

you guessed it mate rs2000 all day..

 

That RS2000 is a real minter. More of a garage car tho really. If u want one for messing about in keep the s13

 

Take the RS2000 mate................no hesitation at all................you know it makes sense fella

 

Thats the thing theres no room in my garage and id have to wrap it in cotton wool.hes also becoming quite a good freind and said i can keep it in the garage behind his work for as long as i want.the s13 is great for messing around but im bound to break something on it soon

 

Is the RS a real one ?? there seems to be a lack of brake servo

 

Oh and strut top plates

 

rs2.

 

Put the Nissan engine in the RS2000 and throw the rest away

well spotted mate,it was a mint 1.3 shell as a donor for the rs.how much would that devalue it?thats just one more thing putting me of but to the untrained eye

 

s13 silvia drift car

 

I would keep the S13 myself

 

depends if its a 1.3 on the log book OR if its a second hand shell with the rs2000 logbook,,,,,,,,, as the later is a ringer and if was checked could be crushed

 

id keep the silvia...has that escort got pram wheels or what

 

rs every time

 

go for the rs2000 m8 seen it round looks mint...












fiesta sport

 

Im going to take the escort for a spin in a bit,might not even like the shonkyness off it ,if I keep the s13 then its gonna take longer for me to get the cossie on the road.im doing a set of rear tyres a month at the mo just going to work and back its deffo not a cheap car to run.Im thinking get the scort leave it in the garage,bring it out twice a week and get a shitter to go to work and back saving me some money also miss the sound of carbs but then again the amout of attention the nissan gets is ace

 

will find that out later

Aduz,pram wheels yes but help make the 120bhp spin up easier ..............just.

 

2000 all the way.

 

thats a toughy

 

id keep the s13

 

2k

 

Never going to be a 2k, just a 1.3 lookalike, keep the s13

 

2k for me rep or not

 

Whats the point then? You're talking about having the Cos stuffed up in the garage, and getting an RS2k rep ans stuffing that up in the garage, and buying a THIRD car to run about it..... Sounds to me like you are wanting to get the 2K rep purely to own it, not to use it or drive it, but just cos you can say you own one..... Which is a daft reason to buy cars mate

 

Tough one! If the 2k was a genuine one i would say do it! but other wise i dunno

 

Look at the RS2K. It looks brilliant. The S13 looks, well, rubbish. Know which one I'd have m8

 

not a fan of old school cars at all! but that escort does look nice!

 

I think the s13 looks really well love the looks.

 

your just trying to put me off ,the reason for stuffing the rs2k away is so i can SAVE more money and get the bits i want for the cossie.ive just got in from taking it for a spin,yes sounds great looks great,dosent stop for shit im to used to fast modern stuff so thats what im gonna stick with just have to take a bit longer getting the cossie on the road again

 

Sorry, but if the whole point was to save MORE money, then you wouldn't be getting the 2k rep - you'd be selling the S13, buying a runabout for £150 and putting ALL the money into the Cossie, not buying another car you don't intend on using

 

sorry im greedy,need some sort of rwd daily ,i know i could get money from the s13 to get to cossie back on the road but the looks it gets the drifts it does makes me wanna keep it.yes the reasons for the rs2k are to own one it just what it is not what it can do that i love,oh and the noise from carbs give me a boner

 

RS2K

 

But if you tuck the 2k rep up in the garage then it ain't a daily is it?

Maybe it's just me, but I do not understand peeps who feel the need to have more than 2 cars, when it means that at least 2 of those cars won't get used - at one point I had my works van, my 3i, and my S1 - and I only ever drove the works van!!! Why? Cos it was FAR easier to jump in the company paid for derv van and nip up the shops or over to the pub or mates house etc, and it not cost me anything, then get the S1 out, which means unlocking the garage, getting it out, locking it all up again, sitting there while it warmed up, then taking it out, worrying about where it's parked etc etc, then doing it all again when I get home to lock it up again....

And then I sat down and thought - fuck, I'm spending nearly £2k on insurance on 2 cars I don't use? Plus MoT's, plus Tax, plus plus plus...

So I sold the 3i and thought, great : daily driver, and a fun "weekend" car - but even that wasn't worth paying the over-exuberant insuance fee's for!

If I was to not have a works van, I might buy something like a S1 again - but it would be a daily driver, rain sun or snow.... As I don't see much of a point ot having a car that isn't used unless it is like your cos that you are rebuilding.... But then once the cos was built, I would be selling off the other cars and just having one anyway )tho with these old ford shitheaps, it's always worth having a £150 runabout for when they break down )

 

a lot of companies dnt let employees use the works van outwith work hours tho.

 

rs2000 with carbs!!! nice!! take it pal!!!!

 

Steve, no not all, but I am talking of my situation, and I can use my van out of hours

 

I see your point mate.the cossie cant be used everyday when its done cause they get dirty so quick and break quicker.the rs2k rep is one for tucking away and its just too much hassle.ive been doing some thinking today and as much as i love the drift slag when the cossies ready i will cancel the insurance on it and insure the cossie.over the past 6 months ive been buying cheap cars and they wernt even what id call shitters then getting board of them and selling em on,then just thought fuck it get something you wont get board off,so got the s13,im not board off it far from it,but with anycar i own it could always do with this or that doing and when do u stop?thinking of what you said in the first place now and selling the s13 and using the money for the cos.need a rwd shitter for £150

 

id keep the silvia tbh

 

I'll sell you my FWD shitter for £150 as I don't need it anymore
