Ive looked at your car a fair bit over the years on here and it always looks so well looked after. Great looking car and glad its being run properly!
Thankyou 
Had some news from the insurers at last it seems the claim for the guy that hit my car at work is finally getting somewhere

Thanks for the comments I don't believe in buying a car & not using it!

If I hadnt ended up with my 350 I think I would currently be in one of these thanks heavily to your decent threads. 300 bhp RWD was just too much to say no to considering I did NEED more than 2 seats.
300bhp is easy in a rs

That then takes it away from being the ultimate hot hatch to becoming a death trolley!!! I may actually pick up an RS in the next few years if I can sort out a nice swap. Im going to enjoy my RWD plaything for a while yet though.
They do sideways quite well

How do the MK1 RS compare with the Mk2 STs? They are around the same price now and a mate of mine is looking at both but prefers the sound of the 5 pot, the major difference I think is the weight and LSD.
I have told him to consider a R26 Megane or aazda 3 MPS as well as both have LSD as standard.

Having driven both the st 2.5 is a much bigger heavier feeling bit if kit the mk1 rbs st170 was very nibble. A lot of people struggle to cope with t5 thirst in the fst were as my st170 cold do 31-32 nor sure about everyday in mk1 rs.I have told him to consider a R26 Megane or aazda 3 MPS as well as both have LSD as standard.
I thnk the new fst Eco boost will be a well balanced bit of kit.

Very differant cars the st is the more accomplished motorway cruiser & can have more toys but the Rs is better at everything else, dont get hung up on having a lsd though the St is a good car & has lower running costs than the Mazda (silly tax band for a start) & is a much stronger/ more reliable than the Renault which is closer to the mk1 Rs for driving experiance.I have told him to consider a R26 Megane or aazda 3 MPS as well as both have LSD as standard.
