Greens, 3 bar map sensor, chip, t34 turbo and 25 psi. Not much gets past then

It's got all of the above,a few extras on top of that lot too.

Away out tonight to make the most of the good weather,need to get used to everyone looking at the old Ford again too.

Good man, the perfect road set up imho. Enjoy your evening, I may take the Tuscan out for a spin

Seen this on PassionFord.

Excellent cars! I bought my first earlier this year, a 1990 2WD In Moonstone.

Moonstone's a nice colour too.To be honest I wasn't fussed what colour it was as long as it was a good car.
Nearly gave up and bought a mk1 Focus RS but then this one popped up so that was that idea fired clean out of my mind

[neilbauer]

Very nice, look forward to some more pics

[TwigtheWonderkid]

Magenta or nothing for me.

[LanceRS]

Very nice, looking forward to seeing more photos. Glad you're enjoying it. I bought a Flint grey 4wd one as a daily driver in 1999 with similar power. Quick by any standards and a hugely enjoyable car, so much so that I still have it. If it was safe to leave it parked anywhere and I could justify the cost, I would still use it as a daily.
It is still an occasion to use and still gets attention. Worryingly, youngsters today don't seem to know what it is.

Magenta or Flint Grey for me. Nouveau Red 3rd.

It was like this before 2005 up in Hull!

Well last night was the first proper run on the open road and it certainly didn't disappoint.

The exhaust needs a bit of tweaking as it rattles on the underside somewhere but i'm planning a new system anyway.Other than that it's great.

I thought it might feel a bit slow compared to the Impreza but not so sure now,certainly shifts from 50 upwards.

New wheels next week too so that's the first big change.

[neilbauer]

Are you keeping standard or modding it? What wheels are you fitting?

Something not quite right here.That was a photo of a Sierra when I posted it so I'm a bit confused myself

Some editing of the OP required I think

It is nice to see one with the original wheels, what are you fitting instead?

[TheAngryDog]

3rd gear was always the one I enjoyed the most on mine. oh how I miss it!

Yes agree, that's why I was asking.

[Stevenr]

I've got a set of Compomotive mo6,as seen on nearly every other Sapphire in the country.They do set the car off well though IMO.They were on my uncle's car but he's fitted the standard sharktoohs to his 4x4 so I'm taking the wheels for mine.

The originals will then be refurbished and have new tyres fitted because I like the look of the lattice wheels too.

Heading to the local useless Ford dealer to see if I can get mudflaps for it,phoned them yesterday but the roaster I spoke to didn't even know what a Sapphire was I don't think

[TheAngryDog]

Good luck getting the parts. My local dealer was running out of Cosworth parts 12 years ago

[Stevenr]

They can still get the fronts but the rears are no longer available.Need to search the net tonight for a pair
