bmxdave Posted September 6, 2008 Report Posted September 6, 2008 Im really going to miss it. Took it for a drive today and i wanted to keep it. Drive to TRAX tommorow and drive home in the new car so tommorow is the last drive. Oh well. Hopefully once ive sorted some money i owe and made some space i can get myself another mk2 cortina toy with a pinto eh.
Trevmk3 Posted September 6, 2008 Report Posted September 6, 2008 its a shame your having to get rid mate, what are you getting in return?
surfingturnip Posted September 6, 2008 Report Posted September 6, 2008 what you swapping it for if you dont mind my asking?
bmxdave Posted September 6, 2008 Author Report Posted September 6, 2008 Im sure some of you wont agree with it, but im made up. Its a S1 RS Turbo. Good spec mind. 180bhp as a conservative estimate but could be circa 200bhp Im just after something quick and comfier then what i have now. Ill wind it up to 250 powers then ill probably sell it on. I dont keep cars for long. I want a cossie next. But im not going anywhere, and ill buying something old skool again soon. So when i wrap the cossie round a tree, or even the S1, ill use the engine for a 100e/mk1/2 cortina or mk1 fezza swap and ill buy something 'normal' to run about in.
surfingturnip Posted September 6, 2008 Report Posted September 6, 2008 I see the logic in that dont be a stranger though mate, and I'm sure much as they arent mentioned that a few people on here have rst's as well
Trevmk3 Posted September 6, 2008 Report Posted September 6, 2008 i dont mind a S1 rs but prefer a 100e
bmxdave Posted September 6, 2008 Author Report Posted September 6, 2008 Oh no, i like it here. And OSF's are in my blood now. Still going to be buying Retro and Classic every month. Its just that i cant afford two insurance policies right now, so until then, performance comes first, and id reached a point with the 100e that anymore power = mega wonga. It wont be long until im in an OSF again. I want a project, and ive always fancied a V8 mk1 capper.
mk2_escort_chick Posted September 7, 2008 Report Posted September 7, 2008 Oooh I wouldn't mind a S1 I'd have to have the best of both worlds though-old skool and the newer ford
antz Posted September 7, 2008 Report Posted September 7, 2008 i dont mind a S1 rs but prefer a 100e same here! least its a ford
escortmad79 Posted September 8, 2008 Report Posted September 8, 2008 My S1 was rotten... my S2 which I've just got rid of ended up the same way! A friend of Michelles looked at it to see whether it'd be worth doing the work on & promptly pushed his thumb through part of the boot floor!
bmxdave Posted September 8, 2008 Author Report Posted September 8, 2008 I got it yesterday. Its bloody immense. I was chasing a turbo supra yesterday and had to back off incase i hit him. Im absolutely made up with it, and think i made a really good choice. I even managed 40mpg on the way home. Its just so right for me with no PAS or any shit like that. Just needs a dyno run now and a good service Once i can afford it i can start looking at project cars
