Hi everyone. New to PH. I'll cut to the chase...I have a Mk 2.5 jap import which is I believe to be an RS 2 ltd. Only thing is, I can't find much info online about it. Can anyone help?

Thanks for the feedback, everyone. Good to know. Just put the RS through its mot this week and will post some pics when I get back from Tenerife. Decided to replace the rear calipers and underseal it, seeing as its a Jap import.

It seems from your comments that the car is quite rare, I must admit I have never seen another like it in the UK. Does anyone else have one? It needs a good clean and polish now. The interior is one of the best things about it, IMO.Red alcantara seats and door inserts, air con as standard and Lockwood dials. Nice built in Bose amp, too. Pity the CD player doesn't work...only plays Japanese CDs!

Thanks for the pointers. It's in good condition, not mint, but could be with a wheel refurb / wet polish. 12 months mot, 100,000 miles, just undersealed it. Usual minor dings and scrapes. Had some minor rust issues on the sills, now sorted (filled and sprayed by local bodyshop). New battery, only one advisory ( which I can't remember now, but I'll sort before selling).
Red Alcantara seats, 6 speed, Lockwood dials, 160 ps, air con.Put 2 brand new rear brake calipers just before mot. Uprated Bilsteins, big brakes, underbracing. Full RS 2.5 spec, basically.

Any feedback appreciated...
