lol i brought this 1985 Ford Telstar in Jan 2005 for a run about to get to and from work.

I found some nice mags and put them on it alanjones raceing mags.

I went mad and put a standard R32 front bar on it. panted the interior (red/black)

Then i went all out and made some custom side skirts for it. we painted the hood black to give it the tuff look lol.

The car eventually got the name (TUFF TELSTAR) becouse of its meen home job looks.

Any way I will get to the point last weekend in bundy we had the autobarn sound off. I got a txt from my mate saying that the tuff telstar was at the sound off. (why we did not no) Just be for lunch the Queensland Fire and Rescue turned up it did not look good for the tuff telstar.

Any way the the Fire and Rescue boys smashed the $h!t out of it lol.

We had meny fun times in the 2L carby.

(R.I.P MY TUFF TELSTAR)

Here are some photos of her.

    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn
