    You've got to love an RS200. I remember going to the Ford Dealer down near Preston Docks in the 1980s (I was a teenager) to look at them with my mates. Seemed like something form another planet!

    What engine is yours running?

    Similarly the local Ford Dealer near me in Edinburgh had one in their showroom next to their normal stuff.

    I was lucky enough to get a few passenger laps in one around Knockhill a few years ago. The owner was a computer games programer (remember Lemmings?) with a mega car habit. To be honest it felt a bit like being in a washing machine during a spin cycle and sounded harsh and loud. Memorable tho!

    They were very futuristic at the time compared to my mk1 escort back in the late ,80s I also went to the Coventry Ford dealer to marvel over its design and shape
    As for engine its running Porsche 936 transaxle with an Audi 1.8t with 2ltr tsfi turbo conversion that gives me 340 at the wheels ,It is very lively to say the least lol

    Are there any tips on which type of kit to stay clear of when looking ?
