LOL Yeah I just stumbled on a thread of yours on OKC forum, and you said it had no sunroof yet was a very original shell. If it had no sunroof when you had it then it had either had another roof welded on, or was rung before you got it/after I sold it . What was it like when you had it? I spent a fortune on it circa 1998. I bought it about late 97 I think and had it for 4 yrs ish. First RS. Gutted it is scrapped Do you have any pics?

Only thing I would change is, lose the mud flaps and paint the exhaust heat shield.

Apart from that, it looks perfect.

New update...

Been to brunters proving ground today

Was having major traction issues and 3rd was just lighting the wheels up,
The car has a lot more to give but i think a combination of tyres and my driving and concrete surface didnt prove a good combination today lol,

So next mod is definatly some nice sticky rubber instead of my avon zz3's...

Pics and vids...

yea you should not be needing any more power for a while, get the car putting it down better and then move on if you want/need more,
