Default Rouse 304R Saphs.... got some questions?

How much are they worth and how many did they make?

Whats the difference between them and a normal Saph Cossie?

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 buhes



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?

If there was a book on Rouse Sapph's, He wrote it!
