All right mate! How's it going? I haven't been on Live for ages (for various reasons), so apologies if I've missed anything.

Ok then people, seeing as the weather isn't going to get out well, I'll dig out what few pictures I've got. :roll: :lol:

Bear in mind the exhaust has changed since these were taken (and the front brakes aren't rusty! LOL).

And a short vid on the rollers at it's second home...

Yeah I know, but I couldn't resist tarting it up!

You can imagine the amount of stick I've had over the years over why I didn't "just buy a real RS".

I didn't think about converting it until someone found a Fiesta RST lump for sale ('90 spec XR's were EFI so the swap was relatively easy). Then I found out Christian and Gary were setting up APT, asked them to build a reliable 170 bhp engine, and after various issues we ended up with something Gary was happy with- and 56 bhp more! :notworthy: :lol:

Bart- Sadly it's not got many more years left.

No worries Danny, only messin fella,

Bart's too focussed to notice what I actually said above his love of making XR Fords go fast enough to annoy RS Fords !!

Bladey.... you're not wrong there about Bart, next year we are going to join the RS owners club just so that we can do the track day at their national day after they wouldn't let us book track time this year

When will the boy grow up :roll:
