nevins Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 Right then, cant believe i am actually doing this but needs be. I am selling my pride and joy. Its a black 88 spec s2 rst. Car is an unfinished project due to not getting around to having a cage welded in so interior is not in the car, and needing a bit of tlc. Mileage 15839 2 previous owners Engine spec. 1.6 8v turbo engine blue printed engine. Genuine gearbox with LSD that has been fully reconditioned. Fully race poly bushed vibra technics engine and gear box mounts Cosworth brakes braided good ridge lines fully adjustable suspension with 25mm drop, brand new ( any more of a drop and wrecks the handling) Full mongoose race spec mandrel bent exhaust system Group a induction kit new air metering unit brand new distributor Competition 4 paddle clutch piper 285t2 high lift cams both ecu's chipped Full rose motorsport silicone hoses pace double capacity intercooler cosworth t3 turbo new timing belt kent vernier pulley Door locks removed 88 spec interior rare ford motorsport steering wheel 88 spec front bumper and 90 spe bigmouth front bumper 88 spec and 90 spec spoiler Don't really want to sell her but other commitments forc sale, anyone whos knows fords will see how much money is in this car and see that its a steel at £1000. I am seriously shooting myself in the foot at this price. The car is also on a Q plate due to the car being built up and no date being able to be given to manufacturer of the car. Also have two extra boot lids that will go with the car and any thing else related to the vehicle. Pics to follow. A quick pic but not that good of quality. Will be bringing her over to the house and cleaning her for some better pics. She is a complete sleeper car so not a car that stands out apart from being a cult classic. http://photos-g.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash1/hs492.ash1/26871_407603825615_704700615_5373037_8097979_n.jpg http://photos-h.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash1/hs492.ash1/26871_407603830615_704700615_5373038_5952156_n.jpg http://photos-b.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc3/hs492.snc3/26871_407603835615_704700615_5373039_769361_n.jpg http://photos-d.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc3/hs512.snc3/26871_407603865615_704700615_5373044_2904064_n.jpg The crap on the vents is masking tape that was put on to stop anything from falling in the vents. This comes off easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobD Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 I've always loved the escort rs turbo's, not really a fan of any other ford apart from that! My mate has one, he's put a ( i think) 1.8 or 2.0 engine from a focus but has used the head of the rs lump, or something like that anyway! Think he said something about cvt? His is mint, got it dyno'd at just over 200bhp, which aint to shabby! If he came to sell that i'd be really tempted if i'm honest! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah he has done a ZHV conversion which I dont agree with as it takes the heart of the car away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 If it was 100% running I would seriously consider it for my daily driver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nevins Posted March 21, 2010 Author Share Posted March 21, 2010 If it was 100% running I would seriously consider it for my daily driver I can get it 100% if you want but then there would be a change in price mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 How much to have it in run around condition bud, not interested in cage or anything like that. Just stock asthetically and MOT compatible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nevins Posted March 21, 2010 Author Share Posted March 21, 2010 Not to sure yet mate. I have done this a couple of times and ended up keeping it as a run around myself lol. Let me have a think about the price over the next day or two and I will get back to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 I have no idea what that means lol. So the car has only done 15k miles? Is that just the chassis or is everything original? (other than mods of course) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nevins Posted March 21, 2010 Author Share Posted March 21, 2010 Thats the engine and the chassis has done less. Person I bought the shell off had it brought into the country from germany new. So the shell is stronger than the british shell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
