Looking around the car, it's clear that it's had a pretty
easy life. With only 65K on the clock and a full dealer
service history. The bodywork is immaculate, free of all
the cheesy fibre glass add-ons that don many an RST these
days. It really is a fine example of how less is more. The
clean lines continue inside, with nothing being modified
to destruction. The only real additions being gauges to
monitor boost, oil temperature and water temperature. There's
a smart looking half cage which is only there for show but
it does add a nice little touch to the cabin. Under the
bonnet things are reasonably mild for the time being. The
ECU has been treated to a Stage 2 chip, and the injectors
have been swapped for beige 701 items. There's a T2 with
a Forge -31 actuator, and those are strapped to a full Mongoose
system. Intake is cooled courtesy of a Pace double capacity
intercooler, and the whole lot gets freshly filtered by
the guys at K&N. I say "For Now", because
the winter months will see quite a transformation engine
wise..
