ive just read this months ford mag, mostly about 2no souped up rs200.
i am a scooby lover but im well impressed with the figures awesome!!
does anyone on here own one ?
i think theres about 100 or so left.
or even seen one ?

Dave T-S

Richard Squire on here had (or maybe still has) one, and my nextdoor neighbour had one too - now masquerading as a Pike's Peak car, approx 750bhp, Stig Blomquist driving

(Both genuine cars, not copies)

bobfrog1

not bad for an 1800 turbo aye!

XT

i believe that the good one were 2.1 ltr

FASTER MIKE!!

not all of them are 1.8l think the evos were 2.2l

mike who hankers after a rs200 evo

dazc2

The EVO version was a 2.1 litre BDT engine and the road going versions where 1.8 litre

bogie

I thought they were 1.7l ?

Dave R

Non-Evo cars were 1.8 Cosworth BDT lumps while Evo's had extra cooling 'ears' added to the roof scoop and a 2.1 Cossie BDT-E lump.

This is my dream car. Forget 22B, Type R, Integrale, Evo whatever, Group B cars are where it's at...

Not anymore.. sold it a while back..

it was a road one increased to 1.9l and with most of the EVO bits eg head, gearbox, brakes and the EVO intercooler intake..

Yo Rich
I had a feeling it might not have made the move to Oz

JGRIFF

standard RS was 1.8BDT

Evo version 2.0BDG (2.0 litre max in Gp.B rallying

later non-homologated Rallycross cars ran 2.1 Litres

the evo versions never got used in rallying as Gp.B. was banned before the factory got to use them

There was a 1.7 RS just cant think of the car it was in. Was some kind of escort very rare indeed.

mozzaITA

Is that the escort RST 1.7 turbo with 4 wheel drive?.... mega rare!!

Anyway the Lancia Delta S4 rules!!! if only i can get to see one!

iTrader: (4)

wasn't the escort 1700T front wheel drive?, don't remember a 4wd one??, gartrac?, iirc they were rwd though

dazc2

The RS1700T was rear wheel drive using the same BDT as the RS200 but in a slightly different config to fit under the Mk3 bonnet

stubee doo

collins motorsport are selling 2 of them one is 750bhp and is £135k but it won every race it entered and the other one is a bit tatty and is £35k

magnet

Dont they need an engine rebuild every 30k or something?

Not very practical

what would scooby do

Always like to watch those mad Metro 6R4's meself - ugly but frapping rapid..

andyr

Gotta say I Love these Grp B cars : never saw an RS200 driven in competition unfortunately but I may try to get to a rallycross meeting this year to see one in action, 6R4's do however sound great in my opinion : I've seen Stephen & Tom Morris's 6R4 on Scottish/N England tarmac rallies and it's a fantastic sounding car !

m4rk rs

lovely looking car

merkin

Slightly OT but theres a caterham currently being built with a Cosworth BDT lump in it, i've seen it and it's going to be one HELL of a quick car!

FASTER MIKE!!

timeless looking car.
just need the 6 numbers to pop up
