I bought the saph 3 year ago. She was standard and had been sitting for 7 years with no engine. I got it off a friend who found it he had just but an engine in and got it back on the road. I gave it a full respray, full stainless system on it, RS7 diamond cuts, changed the interior to leather, T34 turbo, stage 1 and a few chrome bits under the bonnett. LOADS more i would do if i had the money LOL its never ending in the RS world isnt it :)

The Escort we have had for nearly 7 year its on greys with a T38 now. Was done NMS last year getting set up after my partner built the engine should be running about 380-400bhp just never got round to a rolling road with it yet.

You done much to your Saph?

I've had mine for the last 9 years, had the engine rebuilt by SCS within 2 months of buying it with a 330 conversion done at the same time, then over the years everything has been changed, suspension, exhaust, gearbox whatever has needed to be done, well you know how it is with them. Just when you think you have some spare cash it seems to be spent on the car :lol

Are you finding it hard to get hold of bits now??

MOT day for mine as well today and I was shocked to find out that it has passed for a change :faint: :lol I'm use to a list of stuff that needs doing usually :lol

That's nice power output for the Escort :thumb

Its never ending!! My MOT is this month it always passes no bother at all. Had it up on the ramp last week and i have a hole the size of a 50p starting in my boot floor so its away to be welded today before it gets any worse, 1 of the reasons i want her off the road for the winter..

No we tend to find parts no bother at all. We have alot of mates in the RS world up here and the have garages like Aladins cave lol. Are you after any parts? Might be able to help? We have boxes and boxes of spares aswell, sad really!!!
