All these people slating Escort Turbos! Tut Tut!

Doesnt sound very PASSIONford to me!

Ive had loads of RS Turbos over the past 12 years and TBH people running them on a shoe string and playing with things they dont understand is 90% of the problem.

ITS AN OLD CAR PEOPLE! They will always need keeping on top of as will any car of that age/abuse level!

As a track car, they do need a bit of cash to get them going well, but no more than any half decent 205/Nova (built to an equally good spec). I have watched my mates budget build chasing a CSI BMW M3 up the straight on a track day!

If people obviously feel they are so crap/money pits why own one and why spend your evenings talking about them?
