greeig 0 Posted August 19, 2013 It's about time to set up a thread, thanks for the new area Si Always fancied an RS since they came out but the prices aren't budging unfortunately, until I got the chance of this one, high mileage, needed a bit of work to sort it but I fancied a challenge and couldn't refuse the deal! Looks ok from a distance... http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/08/19/zu6y3y8e.jpg' alt='URL>'> But upon closer inspection it was just coated in stone chips, dents, rusted arches and the wheels are slowly dying a death even the engine bay had its own composted area! http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/08/19/qepu2edy.jpg' alt='URL>'> http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/08/19/epada3es.jpg' alt='URL>'> http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/08/19/6e7esu8y.jpg' alt='URL>'> One good point is the interior is immaculate So got a full respray and added a black roof http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/08/19/yvy6a5yv.jpg' alt='URL>'> Then H&R springs, 20mm spacers all round as well as a decat and Mountune Airbox http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/08/19/muvabegu.jpg' alt='URL>'> *tapatalk won't let me add anymore photos* Next on the list is a wheel refurb (or complete new shoes maybe) and a new zorst system as its too quiet 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
R99 0 Posted August 19, 2013 Looks awesome dude - what was the story with its condition then?! Very susprising to see a car left to get to that state, especially something like an RS!! 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
greeig 0 Posted August 19, 2013 I know! Used as a daily driver/work horse from new and not really washed properly, mechanically it's sound though Even the strut brace was rusty! 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

greeig 0 Posted August 19, 2013 I know, I want flames too! I think remap/uprated injectors is the way to go to get flames for sure maybe next year! Cheers for the vid link Ben 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BenSayers 2 Posted August 19, 2013 No problem. I spend a sad amount of my time looking at exhaust clips on YouTube recently lol. There was a flame video with the Thunderstorm exhaust but the quality wasn't that good. You got the the best colour for the RS too! 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
greeig 0 Posted August 19, 2013 Cheers, I agree with you Ben, I like the blue If I can shift these coilovers I can have enough to buy the zorst so might stick them on eBay and see what happens. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

greeig 0 Posted August 21, 2013 The KMS Firestorm in a group buy, not quite as loud and drony as the Thunderstorm but will be loud enough... And £120 cheaper 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

greeig 0 Posted August 21, 2013 Just the wheels refurbed, bigger downpipe, new intercooler and maybe a remap later on, but that's it... Considering I wasn't planning on doing much to it! 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BenSayers 2 Posted August 21, 2013 Wheels staying standard colour or going to change that? Going to get some uprated cams etc too? Secretly hoping you make it sound like a rally car... 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
