Loved them! I had an Escort Series 1 RS, two of the Series 2's, and then the Fiests RS.

I kept the recaro's from one and had then put on a metal base and had them in the lounge in my batchelor pad many moons ago.

 

i also find that altho my scooby isnt as quick as my saff was it feels much nicer to drive especialy around town as there is hardly any lag compared to the cossie

 

Wish i could track down my old RS, she only had 49K on the clock and was absolutely mint. I posted on the RSOC site not long ago to see if anyone owns her now, but got no replies.
Hope she's not dead

 

An RST, 2 Escort Cossies and then finally up to early on this year a 500+bhp RS500.

Regards,
Shaun.

 

I still have contact with the guy who bought her.

Have you posted on ft.com to see if anyone there has your old one?

 

Series 1 and 2 RS Turbo's here. Series 1 is still one of my all time favourite cars and I reckon the start of a an era...... Bloody love em.

Currently trying to convince the wife that letting me have a Mk2 RS2000 is good idea

I'd bloody Kill for one of those.

i've had RS turbo's for the last 10 years sold my last one 2 months ago for a low miles P1, the RS had over 250bhp and was very very clean

heres a pic or 2

STUNNER !!!!!

Some Elbow grease went it to that one mate I fear

 

I had a saphire 4X4 Cosworth running 340bhp and had just had it resprayed when it got nicked that was about 6 years ago.

Had a RS van before that, was running about 180bhp, use to see it around, dont any more thank god after the ****e kit the new owner put on it

 

After an RS2000 a 2wd saff and 2 4wd saff`s it was time 2 move on, the 2 wd saff was the one for me , loved it

 

had 3 rst's, 2 rwd saffs and now on my second scoob. loved the rs's but my new toy,an 03 sti is legues in front in every way. progress i suppose. if they made a good one now,i'd have one tomorrow. mind you....it'd have to be very special to beat the sti!!

 

Had a rwd saph. 365bhp chip, 803s, rs500 cooler ahhhhhhh. Had the car 4 and a half years. Did all the national day shows, had a union jack sprayed onto my cam cover. Really miss the car. Scoob is more modern and feels better though.

 

BUUUUMMMPPPYYYY Hello babe hows things ??
Bet you cant guess who it is ?
I used to be in that same RSowners group as yourself,ring any bells?
Grey s2 ?
I left about 18month ago but now i have a 52 plated BugeyeWRX and when the warranty runs out ill start the modding

 

listy that series two is mint was it a concourse car ? sure looks clean enough underneath.

 

Nice looking car mate, should of got a few pennies when you got rid i bet.

 

oh look you missed a bit.....hang on....nah it was on my screen. That is a VERY clean car

I used to have a Series 1 RS, and would have another at the drop of a hat.

You bloody women, show me a garden path and lead me up it

 

i have owned 2 series 1 escort rs turbo and half own a v5 type r

 

named driver hehe

 

Had S2 RST for 4/5 years.

 

fiestaturbo.com ft.com is just shortening it

 

Never owned one due to lack of cash First decent speedy car I could afford was this year and then the Escort RST had long gone apart from the odd beaut like the one above. Nice motor m8. Respect.

 

Yea, I did the RS turbo thing too...
I had two series 2 escorts , one of them lightly fettled (and then used as donor car/spares when needed) the other heavily moddified , It's been sold a long time now but spec sheet went as follows to best of my poor memory... stage 3 hybrid turbo, pace double capacity intercooler, mahle pistons/rings lowered compression, 1900 bottom end, diesel escortvan gearbox (no LSD oohh eerr), reskimmed and ported gas flowed head, front mounted oil cooler, kent cam, front of car from "a" pillar down and under rose/seam welded all the other bits you'd expect to find.. full 3" turbo back system, 4 way plugs, magnecore leads, K&N cone, full samco kit, manual rad fan switch, baileys d/v, flamer kit and the other most dangerous mod...... bleed valve! On many occasions the collins gauge inside was reading up to 25psi on boost i'm sure

The car was crazy fast when boost eventually came in , and then straight line/ overtaking was unreal but in reality the car was a pig to drive. After two years two gearboxes, two head gaskets, one hybrid turbo and more other mechanical repairs than I care to remember I sold it on.

It is true for me what they said FORD = Fix Or Repair Daily
Those were the days eh....
