Ex PF Staff car F528NLD it lives on!!
HI recently bought a Merc Gray ERST its got
Full koni's
Drilled and grooved discs
ERL Water injection
Drilled AirBox
Collins -31
And Black Turbo Rims
the number plate is F528 NLD
Its in a bad way the rear drivers arch has come trough bad and its anon runner....
Possibly because the bottom end is dead, i paid £600 for it with the intention of Breaking but im gonna whack another engine in there instead
i'll try and get some pics up when i sort a new PC out with will hopefully be next week
just need some more info on the car if anyone has any?

That sounds like the car Ben bought from Performance Ford a good while back. He ran LOTS of boost and a standard intercooler with the Water Injection.
The car was in the mags for a good few months.
I think someone on here owned it for a while [User name Neo something or orther]

if this is the car, just by reading what u said i kinda think the absence of water injection working and monster boost, has killed the bottom end need good replacement 4 reasonable price

That car used to be dave's! <NEO>
we did a bit of work on it but only really to keep it on the road till the metering unit gave up and dave sold it.
It was a quick motor - but it did run high boost!

looks a tad different on those rims to when Ben and Neo had it!
I quite liked it on the standard black rims!
That thing popped the biggest flames I'd ever seen an rs turbo do (without a flamer kit!)

we fitted the flamer kit. IIRC it was a green button rather poorly mounted in the speaker control blank! But the wiring was tidy, put the coil inbetween the inner and out wings and ran the HT lead through rubber blanking plug thats perfect for the job!
