S2 escort rs turbo
 

i know its not a scoob but i thought i would give her a go on here first.i bought this as a standered car many moons ago before i got into scoobs.i owned it for 3 years and in that time i had the engine reconditioned,ported cylinder head,fitted a kent cam with vernier pulley,new hybrid turbo,full stainless exhaust,superchipped ecu,pace intercooler etc which took the power to 213bhp which back then was a quick car.to keep it on the road i fitted koni adjustable shocks and to stop it i fitted cosworth front brakes and converted the rears to cosworth discs too.it was then sold to a friend of mine who has kept it in exeptional condition since.the car has been stored for the past couple of years so has been sorn off the road but if sold will have a full mot with it.i bought this back thinking i might use it for showing but ongoing spending on the scoob means its going to have to go.its in exellent condition,the seats are unmarked,has every mot ticket from new,a folder full of receipts,fsh,even has the original bill of sale when bought new from ford.it has around 125.000 on the clock but theres not much on it that hasnt been renewed.looking for offers around £3,250.

nice turbo arf had one myself spent 7k on it lol

i spent all my time and money on the rs turbos before i started with the scoobs.now i'm doing the same bloody thing with these.:lol1:

i know i had a mercury grey g reg one new engine full bare metal respray nice car when i sold it divorce was looming though:D

Thats stinning. I sold my 90 spec to get my scoob. Wouls love to have one again some day.

Great cars i had the second 1.8 cvh conversion(before zetec) that Interpro did amny many years ago

Had a few s1's and 2's throughout the 90's 200+ was crazy in those days lol....

Good luck with your sale bigarf..

I do like the old school fords,i had a fiesta RS with the american big block 1.9 in it and could over take without touching the wheel almost through torque steer:lol1:
smiles per gallon was 11 out of 10:D

seems like we all started with the fords and progressed to the scoobs.i would really like to keep this and maybe take it to some shows next summer,but with the way i spend money on my scoob i just carnt justify having it sat in the garage.

are you interested in doing a deal of some sort for a scooby? or just cash sale mate?

lol I was just thinking the same thing :thumb:

i was really wanting a straight sale as the scoob i have i quite enough for me.thanks anyway.:thumb:

Nice RS ......

THATS BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!

I loved my s2. if only i had the money.

i wonder how much i would get for pimping myself out????

if you can get £3,250 for your body then let me know.:lol1:

:lol1:
i had s2 in mercury grey, mine was 80 spec with 90 spec front bumper and spoiler. loved every minute of it!! the thumbs up from the older generation as you drive through the town on a friday/saturday night was ace. shame i got rid really but its what brought me to the scoobs.

if i could justify having it sat in my garage i'd have it big arf:) been offered a red fessi turbo for 600 the other day what keeps playing on my mind.

good luck with the sale matey.. she'll sell in no time at that price with the service history..

wayne.

I've had a few S1's in my time but never a S2. Great cars and great fun.

With your modifications im sure 212bhp is very' safe, with scope for more if the new owners wishes. I was just pushing over this with one of mine which in a front wheel drive car of the times was very amuzing.

less than 1000kg? all smiles glwts :thumb:

20 year old and still got every mot

Thats awesome Arf, what a great buy for someone.

Credit to yourself and the other owner(s).

PS
Just noticed the £8.51 fuel, that wouldnt get you anywhere now, but in them days it was 4.5 gallon @ 40p per litre

love it if only i could sell my sti i'd love something like that nowdays

a great buy indeed,i think £8.51 of fuel will only just fill a gallon can nowadays.if only we could go back to the good old days.

tbh mate a part of me doesnt want to sell it as it is something that is a big part of my past and a lot of good times.

This was mine 2.1ZVH C599 OJX my first series 1 put me in loads of debt was a big headache but loved it! my house move forced sale and as soon as i sold it i bought another, my second lol for 8k with a whole garage of spares which i sold on for 6k and made a profit on selling the car as it was used for performance ford photo shoot buyers guide and appeared on used car roadshow. all i have left now is its oil painting of C851 NEM now im spending like i did then but on my scoohttp://i315.photobucket.com/albums/l...srickc/111.jpgb.

pure porn rick love them:D

lovely looking car mate.the 2.1zvh was going to be my next step,but i decided to go with the scoobs as they were 4 wheel drive mainly.i had owned2 S2 escorts and 1 fiesta turbo,but the main problem with them was getting the power down,even with the power mine was running it would spin up in second gear so god knows what yours was like with the 2.1 engine.

It had a paddle clutch and it shook all over the show when flooring it as it was running around 280bhp to the point where it split the welds on the front valance and wings resulting me to have it seam welded for strength and wheel spun through to 3rd with everything else i did to it 15k later lol it was a bit of a handfull with no power steering or abs had cosworth brakes to stop it dead and it had an escort cosworth turbo hybrid the big one lol. the list i had on it was endless right down to group N. gearbox mounts and poly bushed throughout was a very stiff uncomfortable ride and was near concours you could eat your dinner off the underside and every nut bolt clip washer was replaced for new and fully rebuilt. as was the second one i owned. but i left the 2nd one original and sold it for 8k after selling the spares for 6k so not a bad return. they hold there value very well providing you get the right one. I would still have another lol but when im debt free lol

I do like the S1 but then I would after owning two myself. I have never had a S2 like Arf's, I think this is becuase secretly I always wanted a MK1 or MK2 RS but could never afford it with my salary after just leaving college. I always wondered why they made the RS Turbo FWD.... I never got round to reading up on this, but I suppose this is due to the Rally classes?

I recall the first one was pushing around 165bhp on a standard setup when I bought, I took it for a RR day and was amazed the power it was pushing until the turbo seized. Turned out it was puposely bleeding boost from one vac pipe with several purpose made holes lol. I swapped the turbo for the S2 as these were water cooler and shortly afterwards it neded up on its roof.... not a very good day for me at 19!!!

I bought another one very cheap as it needed work and donored my scrap one. I kept the number plate though, and with my name being Rob Day it works a treat, you may have seen it at shows etc as I use to take it to trade days.. Reg: R5 DAY ;)

Very nice rs,I just sold my mercury grey s2,all waxoyled underneath with mint arches,needed some work doing on it though,was pushing around 180bhp,I loved it,wish I never sold it but o well am goin to buy a scoob in the new year.
Good luck with the sale,try passionford,u may have some luck there
jamie

them were the days :)
