Neroism's 5 Spd RS2000....Update: Respray and More

Good stuff Justin,
It looks similar to the one that was on eBay not long ago that ran on gas.
I wouldn't like to drive it too hard with the brake and clutch pedals so close [:I], would be a little scary.

Rhys

yea the pedals r a lil close but they look even closer in the pic but yea im gonna space em a lil when i can b bothered. probably a good vaccum wouldn't hurt either lol. next time theres a cruize ill talk to ya's instead of feeling like the biggest random ever haha. ohh yea my mates tc v8 cortina will be hitting the roads in a couple of weeks too, so he'll prolly be at the next cruize aswell. cheers for the good feedback fellas

Catch ya's for now

[(#)] ... come on boys they are both as good

Very straight car there! Needs to be lowered about 4 inches though with some 16" mini lites or Simmons. I like your very very usable boot space.

Cheers

yea it will be getting lowered with 15's soonish (anyone in Adelaide got n e good ones with tyres for a good price?) and the cannon is going (it was on there when i brought it[:(!])! Yea paint needs a rub back and some spots touched up. but other than that its coming along nicely...

Nice ride mate

Nice RS, by the way.

Very nice ride there mate

Yeah it is a genuine RS2000 i checked it out. Wot made u think it wasn't genuine??? and i probably will join in the cruise next time but it depends if i can afford petrol. n e idea when the next cruise is? coz my mates nearly finished his V8 TC Cortina so yea just wondering... i should have some 15" mags on the RS soon and the cannon should be GONE! YAY! then ill just work on the body of the car and get the rust cut out and fix up the paint coz some spots r SHOCKING!

Later

assuming its a later 2 door rs you want ck41 at the start of the chassis number and 11918 as the model code

Theres a number of threads about it on her as well as a whole list of model codes in the technical info section

Nahhh man its all good. N e ideas when the next cruise is set for? should have mags in bout a month ohh yea and it should be lowered [:x)] so yea that will change alot of the apperance of the car. i can't stand tho's freaking centreline thingos lol should be good fun following u guys on the next cruise.

N e other ideas i should do to the RS?

Later

Well the RS2000 is genuine because it does have the ck41 for the chassis number and 11918 for the model code [88][:x)][88]

Later

i feel better knowing it is a genuine RS and not a wanna be RS and sorry to hear bout the dent sundowner. Question, i have a set of space convertors that change the stud pattern from 4x108 to 4x100 r they n e good or would they break or sumthing with in time? it gives me a wider choice in mags i know that

Later for now...

no idea mate

cheers n e ways sundowner

i have an update on the RS

CHA CHING i got some mags[:x)]

hopefully i will have a sierra 5 speed and fuel injection! Gonna take the cannon off in a couple of days and fix up some dents and give it a wet and dry. then she'll look sweet as! ohhh and it will get lowered so yea give us some feed back on wot ya think of the mags!

Later

yea i hope it goes smoothly too! i need a daily til i get my RS going again...

Hey i got the mags off eBay but they were at a place called cash busters and they are 15 inch mags but they are 4x100 PCD coz i got spacer convertors that change the PCD from 4x108 to 4x100.

Other info on the RS:
On Saturday im picking up my seirra 5 speed and fuel injection setup which is costing me $1600 which im sure is quite cheap? so ill be getting stuck into that on the weekend hopeing to have the fuel injection setup on b4 the next SA Cruize. so hopefully all goes well.

nahh not installed and tuned but i can do gear box with my dad and and the injection will get installed and tuned buy a engineer i found. i dont wanna give out the information of the guy i got it from as he mite not want his personal information given out but i will ask when i go there to get my injection setup.

i got all the goodies today and i should have the gear box in by next weekend but the injection has to wait as i have no more money to use to get it setup but i get tax return soon so that will help me to get it running.

ill try and keep everyone updated how things are going
Later

yea im happy the cannon is gone! yea its slowly progressing and im really happy with how its turning out, its changed heaps from when i first got it. just gotta get the efi on and eventually a paint job but that wont be for along time so yea wot its got will have to do. gotta get some new tread and lowering done aswell!

If you then put a independant rear in,you have a Toyota Supra[:x)]
Goodluck with the build.I do like the colour.

hey everyone,

not much going on with the RS. New tyres, exaust system from extractors. blew diff but its fixed.

i have an oil leak from the rear main seal and was woundering roughly how much it would cost to get it done? i already have the seal but am getting really pissed off with the car and dont wanna do it myself [:(!] so a rough estimation or wot u paid if u got urs done???

Cheers

Hey guys

Ive been working on making my car interior look a little better and i reacon so far its come up pretty good. Got 3 Smoke Face Gauges, New Steering Wheel, New Gear Knob and i neatened the wiring up abit because it was very confusing, the owner before me liked to use red wires, for everything! Also my eninge is working beautifully and i am very happy with it but cant wait to feel the difference when its Fuel Injected which im hoping will be in the next month and when i have the cash. Also tryed making the engine bay look neater while i was in there. Sprayed my brake calipers blue which i think makes it look alot nice than before. The exterior is still the same as before but i am still saving for a nice respray. well i guess ill get some pics to post now

Cheers Justin

didn't you brake the motor? when u tried to go efi?

anyways car is looking alot beter mate, she needs to be lowered a fair bit tho![:p]

cheers
Rhys

I remember seeing your car at the Mt. Barker Skate park Both our cars got some looks with your and my RS Escort's up there by some guy with a Classic Adelaide Hat on.

NOTHING BUT PRAISE & CONGRATULATIONS[;^)]
Just goes to show what a little time, effort, elbow grease and money can achieve.

Well Done!!

Just a quick update. Got some new wheels for the RS on the weekend they are SSR 3 Piece Super Mesh Wheels. They originally came off a Porsche. The fronts are 15x7 with 60mm Dish and the rears are 15x8 with 80mm dish. Just have to get tyres put on them and wacked em on the car.

Pics:




Just a quick question will 195/50/r15 tyres fit on a 8 inch wide wheel?

gotta love the dish on those rims, will look even greater when you lower it

Do you wanna clock for that console??????????

interior is looking great now [:x)]

UPDATE: Respray, New Carpet and cleaned up and painted the Engine again.

Ill skip all the real boring stuff.

Justin

Looking very nice, the charcol engine bay does look alot better then the black.
Looking forward to seeing it.

I wanna see you stuff those rims up in the arches now, very cool.

BLOWNMK12L

looks nice mate

looks way better buddy. remember wat i said though just lower it alittle bit, that thing looks to nice now for a defect. great work.

I'll have a go at photoshopping that picture for you

Here you go, I've kept the PSD file so I can lower it even more

yeah i reckon rear needs to come down some more to.

If they don't you can probabally get the springs compressed a little more to do the trick.
