No idea wat power its got. Never been on dyno. We only have 4 dyno's in town and I wouldnt trust the car on any of em. No one knows how to tune S.U.'s either, especially twin S.U.'s...... Done most of my tuning with these and seat of the pants. Also got a pair of 7 by 10's under the rear seat, a pair of 7 by 10's on the parcel tray and a pair of 6in's in the doors. Two four ch amps, two 12in subs, 6 disc stacker, head unit and electronic graphic EQ. Edited 06/06/08 09:55 AM by hanra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always wanted a mk2 2door rs2000 but couldn't afford one at the time. Now I wished I had just borrowed the money. They've doubled in price!that's a big brake upgrade you've got there! dunno about not getting anything for it. Its worth whatever someone wants to pay. With the time that has obviously been spent that's quite a few $$$ if you ask me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I did all the work on it myself except paint/panel and powdercoating. If sold, it would be lucky to get $20k.I'm going to get 1 of those colourtune my father inlaw had 1 that he was going to give it to me but couldn't find it he thinks he chucked it. the dyno tune only cost $220.that's 1 good looking stereo install bet it f#@king cranks.Yeah the stereo makes a fair bit of racket. I bought both the carb balancer and spark plug from some mob in England. Its good for getting mixtures close at idle, but usually have to go up a needle size to compensate for when its under load on the street.

Id say its over $50k by now. Paint/panel was $8 grand back in 2001. Every single nut/bolt/washer/screw and clip is powdercoated, that adds up. Stereo cost a bit at the time, back in 99 I think I bought all that gear. Kenwood was still making quality stuff back then. Think the motor/head/box/diff was about $10k in machine work/porting and parts.Just dumb sh*t costs money, the Spax shocks cost me a grand...things you wouldnt think of. The Sparco's and mounting frames were nearly $2grand... It just goes on and on and on!!!! Edited 06/06/08 10:53 AM by hanra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must have clicked the wrong forum button too.....The only mini's I found attractive back in the 70's were attached to slim waists and lo-o-o-o-n-g legs!
