Escort RS turbo s2
As everyone has one.... maybe i should make my own
the year was 2006 and i bought this superb car
needed new springs and new pads....
the spec was:
1.6l
stg 2 head w/kent cam
chipped s1 ecu
2wd turbo
3" exhaust
and a half way defect 3rd gear
positive thing was though that it was rust welded for ££££ 1 year ago
and it did follow 3 set of rims, extra engine, gearbox, top, and some other parts
had some new konis
that was meant for my cabby but i sold it
so it was going on the rst
as i was on it i upgraded to cossie front and rear brakes

an little update
cut off the rear spring..holders?
anyway, it was some rust under.. therefore i was going to cut them out in the first place
strange part, i banged there with a hammer and a screwdriver to get it all loose (yes cutted it out to!
hating rust as i got some holes there (mainly because i was using the hammer i thought) .. i discovered i had a frame under the frame?
why is it boxed in? is it for extra strength??
lol did borrow my phone to my g/f so did not take any pictures as she was talking for a freaking 2 hours in it
down on the ground again
this is rolf
just a try out fit
damn it is full of sand
