My RS Turbo is sadly up for sale

[Carl B FRS]

I have decided that the RS turbo is going to have to go in order to raise funds for a new toy, so thought here would be a good place to try and strike up some interest. I am looking to get around the £2,500 mark but am open to sensible offers, so if anyone is interested let me know.

Will be a sad day, as she has served me well over the last 6 and a bit years!

Spec:
Ahmed Bajoo Stage 1 chip
-31 actuartor
Switchable boost (8 and 14 psi)
Full Magnex stainless steel exhaoust with 4" tail pipe
K&N panel filter in standard airbox
Pro Alloy front mount intercooler with twin fans
Pro Alloy turbo cooler
Uprated gearbox with AP organic clutch, and Mk 5 clutch pedal conversion (fitted about 2,000 miles ago)
Koni adjustable shocks all round with Cobra 20mm lowering springs
Cosworth front brake disc conversion
Goodridge braided flexi brake hoses front and back
ABS units removed
16" Speedline wheels with Toyo Proxes all round
Nomad boost, oil pressure and temperature guages, and air charge temperature guage
Laserline cat 1 alarm and immobiliser
New battery fitted a couple of months ago

Has been serviced pretty much every 3,000 miles over the last 9 years (since it joined the family), and has always been maintained regardless of cost. The engine therefore runs really well, and has now covered about 113,000 miles.

The only bad points are that rust is now coming through in a few places, such as behind the sunroof, and on the o/s/f wing. The rear arches and both sills were replaced a few years ago and are still solid.

I have probably forgotten some of the parts so will add to the list if i remember anything else, and hopefully get some pictures up soon.
