Just spotted this post!!

I think its me!! haha, i live in Singleton but drive through stanhope/visit a fair bit. I did notice a red rev 4/5 parked up on the flats on the right as you come onto Stanhope (past the bungalow stores).

Mine is a Rev 1 - rather modified internally N/A. space invader on my rear passenger light and black spoiler and bonnet.

Ahh sweet, we'll have to have a meet up. Mines not that one, mines a rev 2 n/a which is slowly being modified, just waiting for summer to put the turbo lump in it.

It's all about the turbo's, much better than the na haha... I'm looking for a daily at the moment as the NA doesn't like to use fuel sparingly lol

Turbo great, but kicks in at an awful time... N/a isnt that bad... got 220bhp out of my N/A lump... as good as a turbo conversion, better than a rev 1!! :)

Juicy though... but most are.

Not a standard turbo, to be honest i'm power chasing and I haven't even put the engine in the car yet. Just making sure it all gets built right and money is being spent well.

I keep looking at something like a older escort RS turbo as well though ](*,) Not going to win..

I didnt think it would be a standard turbo!! i had a Turbo Technics on my last Turbo, sold it on the car though - fool!!

What power is yours aimed at currently?

RS Turbo, my other half had one of those, said they are amazing... but very very rusty... that i think was a stage 3. great cars, easy to wrok on (unlike the MR) but they arent jap... or relaible. haha.

I just came from a 2.8 e36 compact, and the MR2 is a different world handling is amazing.

It's going to be a clean rs turbo or a focus rs mk1... Different price ranges but I love both of them haha, but alas i need something that doesn't drink petrol..... or god forbid, diesel!


Looking to go for 450. but I'm still researching what's possible without cracking blocks.
