Years ago it was acceptable to buy an RST, turn it into 300hp mating-call, and park it outside a Brewsters or Hungry Horse pub. Nowadays people are realising their mistakes and it shows in the previous replies. Theres nothing more sickening than seeing a lovely, clean car that has survived the test of almost twenty years and the riggers of early nineties joyriding ruined by pointless trinkets - leave it to the Saxo and Clio brigade.

As for engine tuning remember its an old CVH, so unless you're going to renew everything stick to mild tinkering and steer well clear of the murderous bleed-valve! Oh and leave the chrome for old Cappers and Cortinas!

For the sake of your wallet, time, sanity, and resale value... Christ, for the sake of the Series 2 Escort RS Turbo, stand out from the crowd and leave it well alone!

Nice motor! Keep it that way.
