Special plenium/throtle body/transverse mounted ISCV
Inlet tracts opened up by 9mm
Improved head gasket
Bher cored large intercooler
Garrett T4 turbo
Alternator drop bracket
3 bolt thermostat housing
Exhaust manifolds were fitted with sleeves
Body kit/spoilers by Pheonix

Chris_pRST

thats how many wer built, i wonder how many are left outta that lot

DOO

The 3 door rouse was not done from new was done at a later date and where prototypes for the 302-R / 304-r saffs.

you could not buy a 3 door rouse from an RS dealer.

Rarest is the 302 saff followed by 304

6 = 302-r 2wd rousesport saffs.
61 = 304-r 4wd rousesport saffs.

James_RScos

Cheers Mate

Chris_pRST

amazing how much u can learn in one day

wot other spec did the rouse have or was it just power increase

DOO

260bhp/300lbt rouse 302-r/304-r



A smaller Garret T25 turbo rather than T3 which all but eliminates turbo lag as boost is available from about 1700 rpm upwards.

Re-mapped ECU.

uprated suspension bushes

body kit which gives more downforce / Aerodynamics

Different front bumper which also incorporates an RS500 style splitter.

Larger boot spoiler.

Different side skirts

Rear bumper skirt

Rouse Sport 302-R/304-R decals to back valence and side rubbing strips.

Rolled arches to accommodate the 225/50/15 yokohama tyres rather than 205/50/15 on the standard Cosworth.

Full leather interior (only very few had cloth) which included extra shoulder bolsters in the front seats which were also re-badged as Rouse Sport rather than Recaro

Option Wood pack fitted to door carsd and dash inserts ash trays etc..

More sound proofing around bulkhead and under carpets

luggage bar & straps

twin edge wipers

high output bulbs

identification plaque

Initially Andy Rouse planned to build 100, however, the total figure only reached 67 of which 6 were 2 wheel drive, the other 61 were 4 wheel drive.

Big BHP figures were not the aim, the aim was to develop the engine to produce more than 300lb/ft of torque. This was achieved, hence the name, 302 for the two wheel drive and 304 for the 4 wheel drive. The 2 and 4 relating to drive wheels and the 300 depicting 300lb/ft torque.

theres prob a few more Modifications i forgot or don`t know of?
