Dom's+Page

I thought it was about time that i started a a proper page on my 1980 MK2 RS2000. If you dont know by now I am a bit of a car nut. Old school Fords to be exact. This one is my third RS and my second white one (not bad for a 25 year old). The shell was stripped to bare metal to check for rust, but to my surprise there was none to speak of. A fresh coat of paint and the reassemble began. The engine is a 2.1 litre. This was achieved be offset grinding the crank joining up to Celica GT4 rods and WRX STI pistons. We had to knock a bit off the pistons to make them a flat top. At first I was looking to run 45mm webers but ideas of efi got in the way, I have ended up with efi hardware throttle bodies run by a Motec m4 unit. I’m running a twin coil wasted spark system. Gearbox will be a type 9 with new quaife gear set. (Waiting on rebuild, this has been delayed due to how cold it gets in my garage at night). Tran-x plate type lsd also waiting to go in along with a 4.1 crown wheel and pinion. Brakes are Hispec items along with a bias peddle box. Suspension is dealt with by 2.5 inch adjustable coil overs with Gaz gold inserts and 250pound kings, the rear has gaz gold shocks with reversed eye kings. That’s where the car is at; I am looking at having it finished sometime early in the new year. Im pretty sure you wont understand any of that but that does not matter. Cheers, Dom
