My official hello :) (lots of pics inside)

[yodi]

Hi all,

Only been here a day lol and already bought lights, springs and lock nuts lol

I've always been into my RS's and moderate www.turbosport.co.uk

Anyways, I've got a 172 PH1 as my daily drive and a kit car for my track days..

I've had loads of cars in my time below are a pics of a few of them, and yes there have been lots more

So, HELLO

While I'm here, here are sone pics of a few of my old cars I've owned/created

The black RS2000 (1st pic) got stolen fromme in Feb

 

[Addz]

welcome! looks like you have a great taste in cars too!

 

[Ali]

Like the Escorts.

 

[Rob R26r]

Welcome along mate. Great pics. Love the old skool Fords.

 

[Vicky.]

Welcome, nice list of cars there, agree with the others the fords are awesome. Shame about the first one being stolen, looks mint!

 

[yodi]

Thanks Guys....

yep my RS2000 got stolen Feb just gone was so gutted, the GULF coloured MK1 I made from a rotten 1300 shell took me ages, cossie turbo power but i sold it before I 100% finished it

Couple more pics of the RS2000 as you like it

 

[Rob R26r]

I know they did a flat fronted RS2000 but surely that's a Mexico :S

Mexico with a 2.0l lump?

 

[yodi]

Nope, genuine RS2000 but was flat fronted... Quite common if they ever had a tap etc back in the day as the parts were so much more expensive to replace, and I have the droop anyway

And yes it's got Mex stickers on it, I left them on there it's how I got it

 

[Daniel]

That black Escort is possibly the best car on the forum... Massive shame about your Skyline/Pulsar phase. At least its out your system!

Welcome to the club.

 

[Rob R26r]

Fair enough mate

 

[yodi]

LOL Daniel, that Pulsar was my daily driver.... I fyou know about turbos ih had a TD06 20g in it, I drove to Pod, ran a 12.4 and drove home in it Oh and I never took anything out apart from my passenger... The skylines were kool, the drifter was featured in a couple of mages with me drifting and the silver GTR was so clean a guy got on a boat from Holland to buy it

Rob, I know where you're coming from but it was deffo an RS2000, im 30 (only in numbers) and had my first Mk1 at 15 lol... It just never had the nose and the guy before me put Mex stickers on to stop everyone sayins it wasn't a 2000

 

[Vicky.]

You were brave to have a Pulsar as a daily driver lol! Did it not cost you a bit in repairs?

 

[yodi]

Well, because it was a quick one I went through a gearbox and infact the clutch pedal seperated from the bulkhead lol

Luckily I've always worked on the tools for the last 14 years so was just a case of buying the parts and finding the time

 

[Vicky.]

They sound like trouble to me....least you're on the right path now lol :rasp:

 

[yodi]

LOL vicky...

PS.This pics just for you

No it's not auto, so why only 2 pedals you ask lol, the clutch ripped off haha

(Lucky I can weld)

 

[Alastair.]

in love with the black escort, welcome

 

[Daniel]

Nothing you can say to me can justify owning a skyline or a pulsar. I detest the things!

 

[yodi]

Fair enough, hopefully my other collection makes up for it

 

[Daniel]

Oh for sure! Epic taste in fords!

 

[yodi]

How about this, my Kit car??

I've just fully rebuilt the engine, it's a Vauxhall redtop 16V 2.0

 

[Ash87]

great selection of motors, welcome to CS

 

[W17GLE]

Some amazing cars there!!! i would love to own most of them

 

[yodi]

Thanks and thanks

 

[Tunst]

that kit car must shift, ma dads mate has one with a 1.6 engine and thats hellish quick

Welcome Mate!

 

[yodi]

Thanks Tunst, yeh it goes well circa 175-180bhp and 500 ish KG's

Whilst I'm whoring pics all over the forum here's my toolbox and my workplace

.

[Tunst]

£5 for the plane

How much u pay for the box?

 

[yodi]

More than My 172 and im not even joking, was last Dec on special think it was £2300 + VAT

 

[Tunst]

ouch its quite small for that price the one im looking at buying is an aston martin racing one and its huge its also got a huge £3000+ vat price tag >.<

 

[yodi]

The 3k + vat ones have the extra drawers, about 15" wider if I remember right.

The pic does make the box look small though but it isn't, compare it to the width of the plane

 

[Tunst]

Yeah u get that box then an extra one on the side about half the size same width etc, stunning box's but a little over priced , i can buy a car for the money im wiling to spend on a tool box lol

 

[Addz]

awesome workshop too! wish i had talent/brave enough to rip cars apart, me and a mate are struggling with a pinto kitcar at the mo and thats proving a b*****d!

Ripping car apart is fun as long as you know how to put it back together

Addz shame you're not nearer I'd have come to look

Here's a During pic just to give you some motivation

[jon_r]

I'm in love with the black Escort. mmmm.

Mind you give me any MK2 with the forest arches and i'm happy!

 

[Mr Burns]

Having owned all those awesome cars surely you're gutted to be driving a Clio!! lol

 

[yodi]

Nope not at all mate, I've got my kit car too so have both... I've had 2 cars for the last 12 years and sometimes a bike too...

Not gutted one bit I chose it.. I had an 03 golf gti turbo, heated leathers, climate 18's 215bhp fully specced but got bored...

I've always wanted to try one of these and now I am, it's not about the money.... As said above I paid more for my toolbox lol

 

[Mr Burns]

I'm only kidding mate Welcome to the club!

Edit;- My brother is a Ford nut, we have a mk2 XR2 with a mk6 RS2000 engine sitting on our drive!

 

[DannoTheGreat]

my last car was a pulsar, that was a daily driver too. an i see you had the good ol clutch pedal snap, good show!

 

[Muttley1]

nice set of motors, welcome along. Where in North London are you??

 

[yodi]

Ste sounds good mate Ive had a couple of XR2's aswell

Danno, it was my own fault, side stepped the clutch one too many times at 6000rpm lol

Muttley hi and thanks, I am in Southgate/Palmers Green
