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 I received it Monday just gone!
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
