absolutely stunning build mate, i love the original indicators + the rondells....
some guy on here is selling a set in matt black for £500...
i see youve gone for an efi conversion??
could you tell me how much this would cost as ive heard the metering head setup can be quite shite at times...
however im wary if i convert the management this may devalue the car abit as it is not original??? any advice??
keep the udates coming!!

Hello mate, i would deffo go for the efi setup, with regards to devaluing maybe if its original and mint un welded etc but i would trade that againsed reliability and having it start when I want it to. I speak with experience on this having owned 3 MFI S2's before the S1. Speak to Danster76 as he is selling his OFAC setup with MSD Chip etc due to switching to stand alone management. I paid about 200 quid for my EFI setup.
Thanks for the kind words!

Was thinking about Mark and Jasons last night Nick; do you realise that their cars were 13 years old when we used to dribble over them, and another 13 years on yours is just about ready to roll!!!

Right time for a little update, its been a long time coming so thought I would drag it out from the garage and get it painted again in the hope that with it looking nice and shiney I would have some love back for it.
I have to say I am very pleased with how it has turned out and It has given me the kick up the arse I need to finish it off.
A few pics
Im well pleased with it. I have ordered a new carpet from East kent trim supplies so that should be through soon. All thats needed now is to wire up the rest of the OFAC and finish the brakes off put the decals on and its all good and plain sailing!
The front is looking a little high as we had to raise the coilovers up a bit on the front to get it off of the truck without leaving the front skirt behind

Never got driven, key was never turned and got pulled apart. 
Sad days.
Shell went north and as far I know. Sure Nick.W will update. He eventually turned to the dark side but has ford in his blood so sure he'll regret flogging it and be back.

And yes spot on, the trimmed rolling shell went to Scotland and the rest of it was dispersed around the rest of the country.
Put the funds towards an Escos so not all bad.
Escos sold and now I'm smoking around in an e90 330d M Sport.
I'll be looking to get another RS of some description next year. Dan is right, Ford's are in my blood unfortunately/fortunately which ever way you look at it
