Great pics mate. I too am an absolute RS nut.

Silver fezzy RSTs are especially rare so nice to see one looking tidy. Loving the white 2 wheeler with the lamp duct too

Cheers guys, I'm sure the owners will appreciate your comments.........the silver Fiesta is mint been kept in garage for the last few years......... the white two wheeler is a particular favorite of mine belongs to a mate, it was a car originally pumping out 400bhp+ back in 1991 and had blue tiger stripes all over it ..........it still has the original Hybrid turbo running 1.6-1.7bar boost on it but is de-tuned to about 320-340bhp now to be a bit more reliable (still gives my Spec C a run for its money thou)......

Id imagine a 2wd saff on the roll with 340ish would waste your Spec c mate.

My scoobs knocking on high 300s maybe even 400 and my old 4 wheeler with 350 ish would of deffo kept up with the scoob.

Awesome car... still want another one

Mine is 350bhp and 2 wheel drive and it goes amazingly well. I'd like to see how it would compare to a big power scoob though.

My friend and neighbour has a 4x4 Cossie Saph.

It's got Grp A everything etc. I thought I'd been out in some quick Scoobs 330+'s etc but this thing blows me away with how brutal it is. I has to be kicking out somewhere between 350-420bhp .

Id have a crack Paul... i think you'll be supprised at how little there is between the 2 cars. Budgies is approx 460bhp... deffo worth having a go at in a 350ish 2 wheeler

I reckon it might be quite close I can't believe how fast a 350bhp cosworth is I've never been in a big power scoob though.

What have you to lose... the embarassment of being beaten by a car with almost 100bhp more?

Wow... im sure everyone will point and laugh at that one lol.

The scoob is heavier and 4wd power loss... from 50mph i think there will be sod all in it from previous tear ups ive seen. The cossies have a nice long 3rd gear where as Budgie will be rushing to find the next gear in his 6 speeder.

I reckon you're right and I'm up for it. I might have to get Mr Shead to have a tweak too

It's 350(ish) at the moment with no setting up and that was that power with the standard actuator because someone lied to me It should be at least that now properly setup on the correct actuator That was 350bhp & 325lbft on a dyno dynamics rolling road but not producing peak boost until 4800rpm

My frind's got a White 2 door Siera Cossie 2wd with a Graham Goode ported and gas flowed engine... pulling an easy 340-350bhp... he's yet to get it back on the road (after putting it in storage for a while) but I'm itching to have a ride...

Mate of mine has got a 400bhp+ Escos. Had a go in it at 380bhp and that was enough. He had a 2wd saph cos which did 0-60 in 3.9secs . V nice motors.
