Only mint cos all it does is sit in either a garage or a workshop and get taken apart and put back together again. Cant remember the last time you were actually using this!!!!

Re: fiesta rs turbo, updated 13/8 more std parts fitted!!
its not been in the garage since just before fordfair, shes been on my drive, being used i will add, even the wife used it stalled it 3 times and moaned about the heavy steering but hey ho,
i will say also, that she hasnt been washed yet, i didnt get round to it, and shes been used so much i think the shock of it has killed the starter motor
yep, drove it along the milly road for a good run, parked up for a few hours, and wouldnt start, starter wasnt even throwing in, theres power to the starter through the command wire, so i think its a intermittant fault with the starter as it worked when i got home after bump startiung it, so for now ill use the starter from my xr2, then next year when i get her out the garage ill get a new one (no point wasting warrenty while sat in garage over winter)
cant grumble though, its a gen ford starter that i got from scrappy about 8 years ago maybe longer, and the terminal for the command wire is loose cos i broke the plastic years back, so im surprised it lasted this long

Re: fiesta rs turbo, updated, new pics
got the RS out the garage for the first time in about 10 months friday, as i had to get some pics for it for my agreed valuation as i forgot to do it when i insured it back in jan
anyway, as i got some pics, i went a bit over kill with them so thought i just as well add a few more here
and some with the st170
the focus was dirty in the pics, i have cleaned it since then, after looking at the RS and giving her a wipe down i looked at the focus and though, na, she needs cleaning now

Re: fiesta rs turbo, updated, new pics
Love it! There's not many Fiestas still kicking about with the Cossie front on them these days so it's actually quite refreshing to see something different. I even like the small(ish) wheels too. Not the same old usual suspects on there lol.
Engine bay looks sweet too, really fresh. Although, and this is just me, there's a bit 'too much' red going on. I'd prefer it with black samcos for a more 'standard' look, but that's just me! 9/10 from me lol

Re: fiesta rs turbo, updated, new pics
cheers guys
Michael, provided my agreed valuation comes through in time, yes she will be there, if it dont, i wont risk taking her, cos sods law will say some pr1ck will smack it up coming out of fordfair or something.
but i did speak to my insurance compnay and there going to try and push it up the line to be done sooner for me, they were shut by the time i got round to submitting it all on friday so will call and speak to the lady again tomorrow
if it dont come through, ill still be coming to fordfair, but it will be in the focus, and ill have to get wayne to find me a ncie out the way spot on the stand to stick the focus
cheers dave
choosey, at the time i was going for a lot of red in the bay, but for the past few years i have said (ask knuckles) that its a bit too much red now and i wouldnt mind black samcos, the reason i say ask knuckles, is cos im trying to convice him to sell me his black ones but for somereason, maybe becuase there fitted to his car...... he wont sell them to me
