s1 rs turbo restore

[Ahmotorsport]

Could somebody explain the 'history' of badasscossie to me please?

 

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

But what i buy and what i do with car is up to me if i wanna knacker i can iam not hurting any one doin it and its people like YOU why i fly off the handle because you all come on and not just to me but to others and start abuseing there work that they are doin it sounds to me like a jealousy and i must say i do knacker cars but i dont pay alot for them any way

 

How can it be a restore with an rs2k engine?

i just wanted to be diffrent to other turbos out there and add my own little touch to it

 

How can it be a restore with an rs2k engine?

i was thinking that - do you not have original RS turbo engine?

i did have the original engine yes but bottom end has gone so did a swap for the rs2k engine

 

Not done much to the car for the past few weeks been busy finishin the mx5 off now thats done gonna get my bumpers arches and spoiler painted this weekend also my mate doesnt want his rs2k engine any more so ive decided to take it off his hands and drop it into this will get some pics up of the engine over the weekend

So, you're spending more money, to make it go slower?

not spending any more mate plus 150bhp as standared without a turbo just doin my own thing

Well getting an engine that wasn't designed for it in a car requires new mounts etc etc whereas you could just rebuild the rs and away you go, get a chipped ECU off eBay for pence.

I encourage people to do their own thing, but when you say you're gonna keep it as original as possible apart from the wheels, then the next thing you're putting an RS2000 engine in it, makes me think that you don't know what you want.

 

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.

the reason iam doin it is to be diffrent plus why wast money on rebuilding an engine when i can just put this into it i have all the mounts from my mate so i dont need to spend money on havein some made

You wouldn't be wasting money, you'd be improving the value of the car.

It just seems a strange thing to do, if it was in a Mk3 or Mk4 Escort than great, nice engine to sit in there, but seeing as the Rs lump can produce a good 200BHP fairly easily, why bother? But good luck with it.

To Be Fair We All Know Peoples Reputation But If Your Not Interested In Him Or His Threads No One is Forcing You To Read Them! Keep Up The Good Work And Yes It Would Be Different To See An RS2K Engine In Here Maybe Though Before You Put It In Do A 2.3 Conversion Or Something?

 

Keep Up The Good Work.

I'm So Glad Just The Way I Type Can Still Have A Negative Affect On People Because Of Capitalising Every Word Yet Probably Wouldn't Ignore Posts With Incorrect Spelling Or Grammar.

But why do you do it, it takes more effort to do that than type correctly, I dont get it?

Your sentence ending makes little sense too by the way.

It Just Turned Habbit Once I Started To Do It, I Don't Know Why But It Reallly Isn't That Much Effort As Soon As I Hit The Space Bar My Little Finger Automatically Goes Onto The Shift Button,

 

However I Feel If It Brings Too Much Negative Attitude Towards Me On This Site I Shall Stop.

No! they will be left to show people how not to behave and annoy other forum users.

 

Now let that be and end to it before I stop feeling generous.

 

Back on topic please!

Another s1 bites the dust. You may aswell do what you usually do feck it up the get bored with an sell it, because from what I've see you have all these plans for the cars you buy start of with good intentions then that goes out the window.

 

No your not hurting any one but the fact that the cars your doing done properly could be worth money so I'd say your not an enthusiast at all.

 

I'll give £150 for it, then start again on it and that includes stripping it back to bare metal who knows whats been bodged up under that paint could be hiding a multitude of sins and with your past work it probably is.

 

Best thing you can do is practice on a £50 pile of Shyte, oops sorry you've turned a car that could be worth thousand into a pile of Shyte forgot you do it the wrong way round and loose money.

What I'm getting at is if people are just going to join this thread to abuse some one it isn't really appropriate is it?, this thread is to show progress, not past mistakes.
