Default Awesome RS500 in Petts Wood

To the two guys in the white RS500 E808*** in petts wood earlier I thought the car was

They stopped and showed me under the bonnet, loads of bling, a T34 and anti-lag. I followed them for a couple of junctions and they had plenty of sideways action. Loved the the sound of the anti-lag as well. All in all a blinding motor

I'd always preferred the saph's to the 3dr but after seeing this one I really want one now.

They come on here apparently so get some pics up

The bloke said he took the T4 off as it was too laggy. It was apparently about 350bhp now. Had the 8 injectors and anti-lag and looked the business. It certainly went pretty well!

Surely you'd just fit anti-lag to the T4, instead of a smaller turbo and anti-lag?

Either way. Car sounds nice..

They said it was genuine and looked it from what I could tell. Kind of hope it wasn't a real one as it was taking some abuse

Why would you downsize a turbo because its 'laggy', and have ALS

There was an RS500 in the first 'Cosworth Special' magazine by Fast Ford that had the T4 downsized as it was apparantely too laggy.

True though, surely the ALS would make up for it in thsi case?

Good to hear its being driven properly though
