Evening Gents,

Have finally had time to do this thread,have had the car for about a week now. All i can say is that i love it to bits and its ''my baby'',amazed by what it can do.
Bought it from a chap from Oxford direction,who has looked after it very well smile
Its in good condition for its year and has all the major components replaced,AP Racing Clutch,Cam Belt and Tensioners also,has good service history also. Only bad point which some you will be all to familiar with is that its got quite a few stonechips from the soft paint!

Anyway in true PH style il let the pictures speak for themselves,hoping to get on the sussex run also!

All ive done so far is fit x2 Yokohama Parada Spec 2 tyres on the front and ive also had the two front alloys refurbed,plans are to keep it as it is!
RS also has a Miltek De-Cat exhaust system fitted along with an uprated actuator and a K&N Gen 2 filter.

Plans are just to keep it as it is and love it,poss respray front bumper/bonnet

CheeRS for looking

imo a far better looking car than the current RS....
much more of a street sleeper.


which, ironically, i didn't think when it first came out!

just shows how perspective changes...

Get the 'Tuna' remap (if the car hasn't got it already) from one of the chaps over on the RS owners website, will work well with the mods you have thumbup
