Out for the .................

MarcB · Mar 24, 2012

Out for the first time since Aug 2011.

The turbo was driven and is now getting taxed & insured for the summer.

Tomorrow is going to be a day of giving it a small clean and topping up any fluids and checking over it

Cause i have had it for about 3/4 years and everytime i have went to sell it or break it i cant bring myself to do it so i keep it in storage.

uk300matt · Mar 25, 2012

thats gorgeous mate,nice to see one with the spotlights on for a change too.
love the wheels but itd look even nicer on the original alloys.
always loved these,always wanted a mercury grey or white one.

Just a strange car to keep in storage. No offence of course.

MarcB · Mar 25, 2012

Not really when there was only 500 ST's made and alot of them are now rust buckets.
I have a pile load of extra goodies on mine that are like rocking horse poo to get.

I have the space to keep it so it stays in the garage.

My Trophy will be going in there also and i will just use the golf and my partner has a mondeo.

As for the Turbo's wheels i still have the Standard ones sitting there but tyres are not road legal so i would need to buy 4 tyres just to put the standard wheels on

davo172 · Mar 25, 2012

God I want that car SO MUCH !! perfect s2 mate perfect wheel choice

Credit to you marc pm me if its ever for sale you NEVER lose the RS bug

MarcB · Mar 25, 2012

davo the car is going no where. Its making me more money the less i drive it and the more its off the road.

Its going away again in Arpril for another mini detail / refresh

Can't blame you mate selling my RS Years ago was worst mistake I ever made

ones worth buying then were hard to find near enough impossible now ! You doin any RS shows in it this year ?

StephenJ · Mar 25, 2012

Jesus that's truly stunning!

harey · Mar 25, 2012

really miss mine would sell a limb to get her back

uk300matt · Mar 25, 2012

worst thing i did was sell up my immaculate signal green mk2 rs mexico.
that car would be worth a fair bit now i bet.

*Badger* · Mar 25, 2012

That is proper old school awesome-ness, What sort of money would that command these days ?

alex-avfc · Mar 26, 2012

Lovely, love a nice 90 spec S2.

Would be good for £7-8k I imagine.

.Kev. · Mar 26, 2012

What a sight, a lovely example mate.

Excuse me while i pop to the toilet....

_Tom · Mar 26, 2012

Lovely. Best colour too.

Scrooge · Mar 26, 2012

I love that car!

hopey-182 · Mar 26, 2012

that is mint am i right in saying that rosso or radient red its the same as the one my dad bought 26 years ago brand new e reg when there used to be a rs dealership in middlesborough called neshams. sad ending though it was stolen i remember being gutted.

MarcB · Mar 26, 2012

Thanks for all the comments guys, Will be good to get it out for a nice drive and with the weather being the way it is.

You have hit the nail on the head and it goes up every year.

Im sure its raient red but i would need to look out the V5 to be 100% sure

Scott™ · Mar 26, 2012

So so so jealous. Stunning.

couzens · Mar 27, 2012

that is lovely, not a fan of the wheels though. standerd ones suit so much better.

Good work

JoeyD · Mar 28, 2012

Not really my thing, but Christ that's immaculate! I think having smaller, or perhaps just the standard wheels would look a bit better...

Still, that's a proper time-warp car! Nice one

.GAZ. · Mar 28, 2012

Weapon!!!

MarcB · Mar 28, 2012

As said I have the original wheels but they need new tyres and I think the 17s fill the arches out and just make the car stand out.
The only thing I hate about it is that there is no power steering or ABS ha ha ha

Gray · Mar 28, 2012

Don't let Cookson see this, he would implode.

White16valver · Mar 28, 2012

I hate you...

I miss mine something chronic, it looked pretty much the same as that bar some 15" TSW Stealths

I though the ERST had ABS, albeit a fairly useless one?

Epic car btw, dreamed of these when i was younger ...

MarcB · Mar 28, 2012

Dave if it has ABS it does not work as braking is bad but then again im used to a 55 Plate trophy and a 61 plate van

-J- · Mar 28, 2012

Love it, my first car was a MK4 and I would still kill to own an RST

Quite a ridiculous statement to make there.

Why bother keeping an old escort? Its only an escort.

Love the car mate, looks brilliant, any chance of a similar thread on the Vectra?

MarcB · Mar 30, 2012

Once again thanks for all the comments.

The car is now MOT'd and Insured, Just need to take it at some point.

There is a Vectra topic up for you with only a small amount of pictures showing the work thats been done and how it looks
As i have over 700 pictures tried to sum it up rather quickly in just a few

Cookson · Mar 30, 2012

Actually made a full on mess in my pants!!! That is a credit to the RS badge mate. Stunning example.

Oh, and ABS will be belts round the inner CV joints near the gearbox. Its an AWFUL system. Most have been ripped off now.

Out for the .................
