Looks great Ben. Will we see it at Wakefield? It would be awesome to have another RS there...

escortinadriver - "Anti Reversion" its just a flash term for a special shaped lip on the inlet port to stop the intake charge coming back out with a big cam.

Mark - Live 6 Hours away from wakefield now so may be a while til I get back there but have a bit more time & better facilities where I am now so should be posting a few videos of local events that I attend, hoping to compete every couple of months and get some of these projects finished.

haven't set them up yet, will be getting rego and then lowering the front and rear then try for 2deg neg camber, have 3deg on my beige car but I will be driving this RS daily and on reasonably long trips so I dont want to be buying tyres all the time, on my beige car I have added swaybars front and rear, tramp rods, capri struts that are 1in shorter already with bilstein inserts, good lowered springs, reversed the eyes on the leaves and did most of it gradually and the one thing that made the biggest difference was the strut tops on the beige car I have NOLTEC tops and they give you heaps of adjustment, but once it was setup it was like driving a different car, completely transformed.

So its been a while since I put an update on here about the RS, I have fitted my new wheels 13x7 Superlite's and I cant wait to get it rego'd and lowered, no problems smokin these either ! 205's on the back and 185's on the front, I will eventually go across to 185's all round but as I had some good 205's I thought id use them up first. Its running great so just reco'ing the brakes at the moment, got some braided lines from SMCKA (thanks again) I had some rebuilt calipers with near new pads on the shelf which will go on then some new shoes for the back and some new wheel bearings.

I am interested to see what dyno result you get. I had a simalar setup like that (Single side draught lynx manifold) and it was tops!

Your engine bay looks very clean to. That linkage setup looks tidy..

Do you find those fuse covers just fall off. I just lost mine [:(!]
