I used to run my S1RST without the towing eye cover for fear of it being pinched! S1RST probably the best looking Ford ever!!!

A friend of mine used to run s1 rs turbos. His dad was in the drag racing world (friend in question is now a top fuel mechanic). He had about 320bhp in his. This was in the mid 90s. I remember he put his running gear in a cabriolet but took it out after about a week due to chassis flex. Said it was too scary ๐

I remember it went through gearboxes every few hundred miles and a built box didn't last Much more than 2000 miles so he just kept swapping in stock boxes. I also remember it putting a rod through the front of the block once and punched a hole right through the rad and grill ๐ Went through spark plugs very regularly and tyres like no tomorrow. Was used in anger alot ๐ Pretty sure it was in max power at the time. His dad drag raced a 4 pot cortina if I remember right. Family name is Webb, if anyone knows them. Not spoke to him in 25 years! |

Hahaha aww that gives me the fear like my old ones ive owned non stop troubles and they never had anywhere near that power Ive stuck a rather large turbo on this hopefully doesnt lag much and can still have some fun in it without it popping |
