WRC FAFF from Stamford :)
« on: December 31, 2012, 01:25:18 pm »
Hello

By chance, I managed to bag myself a 1994 WRC ST205 a few weeks ago.  Story is that the previous owner spent a year on holiday at her majestys pleasure.  She now can't afford to run, repair or store the car so sold it to me for a knock down price.

I've HPI'd it, and I've made sure there's a note on the Intel file and that all PNC markers are removed :).

It used to look like this



Now it looks the same.. except with more green stuff on the paint, less blue on the stickers on the wheels, and some white on the front end where it's been abused and needs repair.

Purchased as a project, it's stood for a year, has a blown turbo and needs new brakes, other than a front bumper that's not to my taste (Varis) and a FMIC setup which I'll replace with an EVO 8 FMIC, I've landed on my feet.

Car is fitted with a greddy specb 2 EBC, and an HKS boost gauge.  Other than fitting an Air/Fuel gauge and getting it running, my plans are pretty simple.


Clean it.

Enjoy it :).

Here's a shot of what we found when we took the turbo off

 :lol:



Here's the car as I found it



It'd been stood a year.  Jump started, but smoked a lot.
