Default Escort RS Turbo series 2 £1800 (offers)

Well iv wanted and iv tried and now i miss VWs already (damn festival).
iIv done loads of work in the last week and dont get me wrong its a great car but i just miss dubs.


Its an Freg 1988 with 95000 miles. MOT till july 2010 and tax till dec 09.
Its mostly standard with a complete 88 spec interior which is in excellent condition. Bodywork is in excellent condition for the year with only a small dint in the passanger door (hardly noticable). All the electrics work fine.
Its had some uprated disks and pads on the front and the brake system just serviced.

just fitted a full closure alarm and immobiliser

Lowred 40mm on uprated shocks and springs (handles really well )

the engine mods are as follows
K&N induction kit
Magnex SS Exhaust system
Sierra Cosworth Turbo
-31 acctuator
5 layer fibre head
upratted plugs and leads
alloy radiator and fan
silocon hoses
Has some shiney bits in the bay too

Thats all i can think off at the moment

It pulls really well (very quick too) no smoke coming from the turbo (or blue smoke from the exhaust).
fitted with a turbo timer too.

Its just had an full service including an oil change.
cant think of anything else



£2100 ovno
cheers
