just popped over from the UKFN

was speaking 2 rsdaz earlier,and we both agree that a good lil project for me would be a sleeper van

now the only 2 options i can see are...

* a mk4 running an rst lump
* a mk5 running rs2000 lump

now from a budget point of view which one do people recommmend?? i.e would it be easier to pick up a cheap (couple of hundered quid) rotten rst or rs2000???and has anyone done a conversion? if i remember correctly the fuel tanks/lines etc all need to be taken from a donor car?

any help would be much appreciated, as i think this would be such a hoot,blowing away so say fast motors in a van!

 

anyone?

 

RS Turbo van would be cheaper I'd imagine. Loads of people have done the conversion (including me!). Basically swap everything over from a donor RST. With the fuel tank I just had to reroute the filler neck to the van position using a VERY thick fuel line. My van was originally a petrol one so not sure about a diesel tank.

Loom is straight swap etc...

ace...i think this would be sooo funny whooping some flash motors in a shabby old van!

i been looking and it does seems a mk4 rst version would be good, but i cant seem to find a decetn cheap mk4 van!

the search begins!

 

just try and find a rot free original colour one mate. None of these lairy colours as you never know whats hiding underneath the paint!!!

trust me m8 its worth all the hassel the look on peoples faces is priceless
i had a 1900 cvh in mine but it looked just like a clean mk4 van

had a bloke in a m3 get out at some traffic lights thought he wanted a fight but he pulled a wad of cash out and begged me to sell it to him

 

i do honestly think it will be a hoot!

gunna start investiagting somewhere to sort it now

any ideas if a mk5 van will take an rs turbo lump easily?
