wouldn't swap a v1 sti for that, i'd be inclined to clean up the sti and put it to stock looks and keep it, cheap car as well i think

I wouldn't do it and I'm a Ford man at heart, version 1 sti's are rare cars and they are also sought after so I'd take my time and as said put it back to standard

Never worth it, the RS isnt even an RS for starters. Plus you wont be impressed with the power.
I would do as chrispy200 said and get it cleaned up

Ok guys, cheers for the advice. Plan has been to return it to factory, ill pretty much change everything bar engine components, filter and exhaust. If anyone fancies a swappage on the lights for standard ones, give me a shout.

Only thing that puts me off with mine is the rear arch as its quite a put off and i dont know if there is anything that can be done.

I had two before the scoob. First one went to family, the second was a swine to get rid. Ended up almost giving it away!

God no. And for the fact that you actually asked the question, I'd say you don't deserve the scoob anyway!

That is not considered a classic RS by any means.....gotta be kidding, maybe if it were a hard top?.....but i would rather buy a 2.8i Capri all day long.....end of the day though, whatever gets your rocks off mate....
