I have been looking for another fiesta rs turbo that i could give some love and attention too for a while now !!!

I didn't want to spend mega money due to most of my cash going towards the house at the moment. So having a very small budget, i was limited in to what I could really buy.

So last week on eBay one caught my eye! With Quite a good spec and in need of tlc. It was at £1850 with no bids and the auction ran out. So a few days passed and I thought why not give it a shot and contact the guy to see if it did sell or if he still had it. Low and behold he still had it

So we chatted and we came to an agreed price of £1500, happy days
But the car was located near Manchester me being south london and also it had been sitting for 7 months, so i didn't really want to drive it back ( been and done that before and has never gone well when picking up an Rs).

So I found a company on eBay located near the car, and a quick email to the guy I got a price of £250 to be picked up and then delivered to my door.

So money was transferred, car was picked up and today I received it.
Mad I know..... I bought this car without even looking at it, just an eBay advert and contact from the owner through emails and phone calls

Right the details of said car!!

Hpi clear
4 previous owners
Service history up to 72k miles
Currently on 98k miles

Stage 3 head
Kent cam & vernier pulley
Accralite forged pistons
Group a head gasket
T2 turbo with t3 internals, 360 bearing and cut back blades
Beige injectors
Magnet exhaust
4 paddle clutch
Pace intercooler
Airtic alloy radiator
Spax shocks with standard springs
12 months mot
Etc.....

It has had welding done to the sills and floor plain, needs the fuel cap area sorted a few other scabs of rust done but nothing major !!

Came with original wheels on good tyres in the boot

Have looked over the car on the ramp it will need the tracking sorted, n/s/f wheel bearing has play, needs brakes bleeding, sump gasket needs changing, needs a service and tax

Going to change the exhaust to a scorpion full system, get it lowered and put standard rear lights back on
And away we go

Ambers! Ambers!

Looks like a nice one mate!

[- Danny Boy -]

Looks fairly clean

[Fraggle]

Looks good that best colour an all , get some 3 spokes on here though, them wheels are hideous

Being as its a J Reg... do u fancy swapping that boot lid with me for the correct non swaged item(its in green though )..

[Pastieman]

3 spokes are in the back of the motor at the moment they will be going on before i tax it lol

just waiting on a few bits to turn up this week, hope to have it on the road by the weekend

its insured, mot'd just need to tax it and do a few jobs

then it will be body work tidy up time

[jonyb4]

lovely, look forward to seeing this built up

[rsturbonutter]

The reg looks very very fimiliar am sure this was in my area around 10 years ago and belonged to a frien of mine. Was standard other than a dump valve back then

[Pastieman]

Small update

Fitted new front indicator lamps, re fitted the standard wheels, fitted an alpine head unit with iPod connectivity and hands free !!! And sorted an air leak

Tomorrow should be fitting another exhaust and hopefully My lowering springs will turn up

Also need to sort out new keys as they are getting worn and the plastic part is starting to spin round on the keys !!

Need to replace the dip stick tube as its loose in the block then tidy body

The thing is lethal tho









Will get better pics once I'm not at work and have time to enjoy it

[jonyb4]

looking sweeet!

could use some RS rear lights though

fast then?

[Fraggle]

:D looking sweeet!

could use some RS rear lights though

fast then?

I bet its not fast...so i think Patieman should do a couple of vids of it in action, one in car and a few drive-bys.

Otherwise i wont believe it is "fast"

[Pastieman]

Oh i will crack out some videos of the biatch soon

Fitted H&R lowering springs to the spax shocks already on the car and changed a front wheel bearing tonight









Already it has spent more time on the ramp than I have driven it lol

[Maxwell]

Seen it on ebay. Looked a good example. Standard wheels and indicators only mean one thing....get them tails in the bin asap!!!! Lol

[Pastieman]

Just waiting for them to turn up matey

[mikeymikeyp]

It is a nice lookin motor and soo much better for the lowering

[Maxwell]

Sweet!!!

Whats the interior like!? And you putting standard odds and ends on it!?

[Pastieman]

Interior is standard and in good nick slight wear to drivers seat bolster and steering wheel needs a re trim!!!

After the mechanical bits are done I will get the body work done, then It will be a case of tidying up the engine bay etc...

[Fraggle]

[quote="Pastieman"]Oh i will crack out some videos of the biatch soon

Thats the spirit

Those Queer rears going in the Bin fella, be nice to see standard one's on there

[russ-RST]

This is looking a lot better already ! the lowering and standard wheels made such a difference, get that exhaust on I wanna hear it

Russ

[Pastieman]

I have just won a set of standard rears on eBay so will fit them next week !!!

I need a down pipe to fit the exhaust russ as the one on mine has been cut and shut to fit and then welded to fit, and I didn't really fancy cut your one up so!! I want a plan and simple fit

So waiting for a Down pipe then off we go !!

But we are getting there quickly with it

[jayrs]

looks a nice one there mate, looks 100 times betetr with the std indicators and wheels, even in white

[Ratspeed]

That looks great. i do love a white FRST. Good job

[Pastieman]

Cheers guys !!!

Jay I was really looking for a red one as I have never owned one in red lol

I have had fiesta turbos in 2x grey 2x white 1x black and 1x blue lol

[Ratspeed]

Also forgot to add we need to see videos of it doing a burnout or its slow as f**k

[jayrs]

ah weel, seeing as you havent had a red one before, i can only assume this one is a stop between, as your clearly saving the best till last

[jonyb4]

Also forgot to add we need to see videos of it doing a burnout or its slow as f**k

[Pastieman]

Took delivery of my standard rear lights today.... Great condition for under £10 posted bargain

So they will be going on tomorrow lunch time then hopefully I can get my exhaust on once the down pipe turns up

[Pastieman]

Standard rear lights fitted mucho better

[jonyb4]

yes yes yes!

[Pastieman]

Glad it's to your approval Jony

[jonyb4]

after 22 years, the best looking RS is still a standard RS

[Fraggle]

Thats better


Pastieman if and when you come to do that qtr panel, ive a pair of outer lower qtr panel/arch repair sections(with the wrap round corners that go to back panel) if your interested...
i know Complete qtrs are hard to find, yet the fuel neck repair panels are still about.

Not OE panels but im only asking what i paid plus postage for them...i'll list em on here soon but thought id offer ya first seeing as you own the best colour frst, same as me

[AW3K]

thats a tidy example there, liking the originality of it now

[dontpannic]

Who actually thinks those clear rear lights look good? Standard lights are so much better in every single way. I'm glad you've gone with standard rears rather than the RS ones - if you've got ambers up front, amber repeaters, it should be amber on the back too

I really love a white RS - looks stunning

[Andrea]

Looks really nice. I liked the wheels it came with, but it looks much nicer on the original 3 spokes

[matteoman]

Got to love a white FRST
