You sound ready for a Cruise[%]

Cruise, yeh but no. The new fan controller is stuffed and the old fan controller is stuffed so i dont like jumping in and out of car to turn the fan on and off for now [88]

yeh Rhys, my old one was a sqeeze on the other side, i had to grind some plastic off it to get to fit. this new one has 2 rounded edges and 2 squared edges so it tucks in nicley

HUH?

i thought she was going cossie???

Well after 5 months of not even hitting the road, it is re insured due to last mob canceling it [:(!] fixed again. And i have done 70km [:u] almost beats my total amount last year. Took it for a spin, still goes well, alltough its a bit slow after driving the 4L turbo. Washed the dust off it and polished, it lives again, now need to make it go faster [88]

heres a new photo, left some marks on the front yard [88][88]

Yes i have only 6000k on the clock so far so i may hold out a bit longer, but yeah the RS is still fun to drive, nothing beats geting your stomach shaken out while sitting in 50 degree heats...

Need to look into warranty on the xr, tempted to do a redcliffe dyno upgrade on it, few $$$$ will see around 400kw. how much do the flash tunes get you? 260 270?

Yeh, still gotta love the RS, she pulls more looks that the XR6T.

Mine is pretty standard motor, with a typhoon snorkel, k & n filter and a custom tune. It went from 210 rwkw to 262 rwkw and it is now awesome, the problem is trying resist the temptation around the streets. Traction isn't too much of a issue, yeh it's easy to spin the wheels but you soon learn how to launch it properly and avoid wheelspin. There are many with up to the 400 rwkw mark and they have had to change injectors, intercoolers, plenum, wastegate mods and the list goes on, but you can get a decent hike in power with just a custom tune. There have been a good cars getting out of the reddicliffe shop. Check your warranty and decide if you are willing to risk it. I believe with BF's they can see when it was last flashed whereas the ba's they can't.

Cheers
