Once it's been sold the new owner can do as they please, but it would be a shame to put something so clean on a track to be abused.

I know that's what people will say they are built for but......

Hi!

No I didnt buy S2, that was the one I had early last yr just regret selling it so left the pic lol. the xr3i is now xr challange spec but will be used on the road for a bit....not sure how the coilovers will perform on the roads!

must say its a relief to drive a usable car again...but still see the pics of b801ycp and do miss it

Small update - after being offered a sale on the car which seems to have completely fell through (time wasters) i've decided to enjoy the car and buy another rs as well to keep me going for a while.

So i started the winter jobs early:

-Removed the rear bumper due to small bend in the centre, so i'm just waiting for the new painted item to return. The boot lock was sticking so i've stripped that apart and rebuilt it.



And the other bits i want to get done before xmas:
-Change window weather strips
-Remove alternator heat shield and thermostat housing and repaint
-Change both check straps on the doors
-Source a new distributor sheild

Had a small mark on the dash repaired and it's done to a very high standard




And i think i have found a completely standard part 90 spec G reg black erst to play with as well but more info after the weekend

Good to see your keeping it - would be a shame to atleast not enjoy a whole show season with it.

A mate did it who works for the franchise Chips away - he does all sorts of touch ups - the work on the dash is very good - painted with a textured paint
