Don't take this the wrong way, but i think the main reason you're putting the RS2000 engine in, is because you could swap the knackered RS engine for it. If that engine does make it's way into it, you've absolutely destroyed the cars overall value. A good one of these go for thousands now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naylor2006 Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 Could somebody explain the 'history' of badasscossie to me please? From what I can tell alot of people are giving him hate because of previous work which I must be unaware about because I think what hes doing here is quality and wish him the best of luck. So what if hes been a bit indecisive over the course of the topic, who isnt when building or modifying cars. The car looks stunning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The car looks stunning.I don't mean to be giving any him abuse, as i say i encourage him to do his own thing with it, but things like, putting an RS2000 in a genuine series 1 rs turbo, just seems kinda stupid to me.

Tends to: - Buy knackered cars, announce grand plans, then knacker them further more before selling them- Fly off the handle and dish out abuse to anyone that questions or tries to advise- Trading feedback of 33% speaks for itself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
