AFAIK the CS has a water/air chargecooler and box arches.

[bodhi808]

Carlos sainz model has wide arches as standard, Chargecooler instead of intercooler, better geared 3 synchro gearbox to improve acceleration. It has a different ecu map from early standard 185s with fuel maps upto 17PSI rather than 12PSI of boost. Bonnet has a vent rather than a scoop and the front bumper is much more aggresive looking. There's also bags more Kudos with the CS models

Does the CS still have a MAF?

[bodhi808]

CS still has the airflow meter so still suffers the usual problems when people fit a dump valve of ejecting already measured air. It has a turbo pressure sensor which lots of people confuse with a MAP sensor.
The ST205 was the first GT4 to do away with the flow meter and run MAP sensor.

I believe that the UK Carlos Sainz and Jap spec RC models were available in black, white, red, metallic grey and turquoise, with the latter certainly being the rarest colour. Can't imagine there are more than a handful of turquoise CS models left as many of the 420 UK cars have suffered very badly from rot at this stage in their lives. Imported RC versions seem to be in better condition due to their more forgiving Japanese climate

Love these, I remember going to look at them new when they came out. Tried to convince my Dad to get one. Didnt work.

I've seen a few for sale recently, this one in the turquoise went up in the classifieds tonight. We're on the hunt at the moment. Nice, but am looking for something 94/95 onward ourselves.

ETA the link! Have other things on my mind
