What engine is in it? Ive heard u can T3 turbo a certain 2lt block relativly cheaply. Thanx.

 

[James20VT]

louise, how much did it cost to get ur bonnet shaped to cover a bit of the headlamps?

want to do this on the R5, but not sure what to ask for.

 

[Leanne]

Ah cummon,you should have at least put it in OFF TOPIC!

 

[White16valver]

Louise - nice motor!

Just a question, as the RSOC BB is shot to sh!t, but have you heard anything about Rogersports on your Ford-based travels? I need to know before I say yay or nay to a 2.0ZVH built by them...

Cheers!

Paul.

Can come under 2nd car to Clio hence Clio related.

I really like Marks Turbo, fancy a p/x with a Clio 16v?

 

[Daz]

Marks Turbo is PROPER PROPER mint. Im sure Louise could do her hair in his engine bay.. its soooooooooo shiny clean.. proper proper mint car.

[Mikey16vClio]

That is awesome, stop it, ur making me want 1. What engine spec, psi & BHP is it?

 

[Daz]

Mate, Ive been there.. Ive looked at FRSTs sometimes..

Thing is tho, Marks is exceptionally mint.. hard pushed to find one like his..

Your car looks mint Lou - I still reckon a Cossie front bumper or one like the Recaro Fiesta "had"



I have decided if my Willie gives me too much trouble I will defo be getting something with a Turbo again. Maybe another FRST..

 

[Louise]

Thing is though; 1 of my friends has 1 and it seriously is just as good as Marks apart for 2 small spots of Rust which are unrecognisable from distance, anyway, so there are abviously a few owners who really look after there RS Turbos, question is how many are selling?

My friends has had a full engine re-build by Rusty, search for a recent Capri thread, it has beem lowered 60mm i think with 15inch OZ rims, BIG brakes, T25 turbo, deafening dump valve and an engine bay as shiney as Marks with Samco hoses, blue rocker cover; it really looks top and is very quick with high boost... ... ...

Anyway, back to Clios.

 

[MarkRS]

Cheers for the comments Viv/Mikey/Daz

Cheers for posting that pic lou, your car is looking good as ever

Mikey, the engine is standard apart from 4" mongoose s/s exhaust, k&n and 165 superchip running 13.5 psi - 160bhp.

Well Ive had 2 FRSTs already and the total bills for stuff other than servicing, tyres etc.. would be about £100. 2 new lower support arms!!!

My first FRST, K reg, 27K on the clock - did 10k in one year and had no problems at all!!

My second FRST (in the pic) J reg,66K on the clock had rust (I sorted myself). And needed 2 lower suspension arms. I had it chipped and was running 165bhp (14psi). Had it for just over a year but only did about 6k in it. £100 in things going wrong.

My Williams M reg, 27K on the clock, disconnected faulty alarm immobiliser, yet to be found electrical problem. New starter motor. Had it for 2 months or so - £300 in things going wrong!

You have just got to get a goodun Mikey! I travelled 500miles for one and 700 miles for the other!! 400 miles for my Willie!!



Red is my fav FRST colour Mark - V V Nice

 

[Clio_novice]

[Mikey16vClio]
