S2 RS Turbo *SOLD*
*SOLD*
Ford Escort RS Turbo For Sale
Diamond White
10 Previous Owners
Loads of paperwork/history & original handbook
Just had new clutch, recon box & rolling road set up at a cost of just over £1000, receipts included and gearbox has 12,000 mile/12 month warranty.
Car was set up last month and holds 10psi boost, pulls strong, has no engine or transmission leaks and is a very quiet engine. Previous owner fitted a new turbo from AET not long ago and Jamsport fitted a new actuator last month.
Good clean 90 spec interior, with only slight drivers seat bolster wear a slightly saggy passenger door card. Parcel shelf is good and uncut. Comes with Stack gauges in centre vent mount plate. Still has the original ford graphic equaliser fitted with an aftermarket CD player although I have the Ford stereo also if required. Carpet type mat set included and I will throw in a nice RSOC grey seat cover too.
Mechanically, the car is lowered on AVO springs that were bought last year with Koni front shocks and standard rear shocks. New track rod ends fitted last week. It is fitted with a BC gearbox with the larger uprated bearings and original LSD, with receipt dated last week to prove. The clutch and thrust bearing were also replaced last week with new standard items while the old box was out. Spedo works as it should. I removed the useless mechanical ABS system whilst changing the gearbox and renewed the brake fluid in the system. Recent EBC greenstuff brake pads fitted.
Engine wise the car is fitted with the following - polished crossover pipe, bailey dump valve, scorpion exhaust, silicon hoses, crackle black finish bailey header tank and rocker cover and motorsport ignition leads. Recent new distributor, alternator, starter motor, rotor arm, distributor cap, oil cap etc
New front wings fitted last year and front end painted. They have done a good job but unfortunately it is not a very good colour match. Car has rust bubbles around the sunroof. 90 spec rear spoiler and original spot lights fitted. I also have a very good 90 spec front bumper in grey should the buyer want it. Brand new wiper blades front and rear and HID headlight kit fitted.
Car comes with 1 month mot remaining and 5 months road tax. I would say the car probably needs a few new suspension bushes for the mot. While changing the gearbox I noticed some are starting to perish.
In the last 2 years the car has had -
Brand new clutch 03/10/12
Reconditioned gearbox with LSD and uprated bearings 25/10/12
Rolling road set up at Jamsport 28/09/12
New actuator 28/09/12
Brand new Turbo 04/02/11
Oil and filter change 13/01/12
New track rod ends 26/10/12
2 New front wings 05/07/11
New fuel relay 18/10/10
New oil filler cap & rocker gasket 05/10/10
New motorsport HT leads 29/01/10
New starter motor 05/10/10
New amal valve 28/02/11
New plugs, rotor arm, distributor cap and alternator belt 21/02/11
New cooling fan switch and fuel filter 24/01/11
New battery wiring loom 21/03/11
New alternator 19/02/11
To sum up, this is a good car with plenty of new parts. Strong engine and transmission, no leaks, good interior, good history, original handbook pack etc. If I was keeping it I would get the rust around the sunroof sorted, front end repainted then a few new suspension bushes and you would have a very clean reliable car. My cossie build is not far from completion and my new daily will be ready to collect from the dealer in the next week or two , hence I am looking to sell.

It probably is mate, owes me a lot more but at the end of the day it has rust around the sunroof and front end is a different shade paint, other than that it is very good. Bargain for someone though!
Yeah new daily on it's way, need more creature comforts when I do 15k a year and the cossie is for play time!
