ive had about 7 rs turbos and il always go back to them no matter how badly they let me down lol! the sound the looks and the driving experience are all worth it for the hassle of a few breakdowns!!
as already mentioned check the whole car for rust! i just broke up my f reg escort pickup and it was meant to be a clean shell was it fuck lol i spent months welding it and finally gave up!!
if i was buying another one it would have to be councourse or near to it, i would rather spend extra and get a good one rather than a welded up binner
