After dabbling with some german and italian cars recently, i missed an RS in my life so as of 2moro i am picking up a 3 owner, Red, F Reg S2, it has been dry stored for 10 years, but the recent owner has had it on the road for the last 12 mths or so. Its standard bar a scorpion exhaust, jetex filter in a standard drilled airbox, and is lowered. The standard S2 wheels are a black/grey colour (i sort of like them)

It has the "perry" dealer plates, handbook, pen (i dont think it works lol), reciept of sale to the first owner, MOT's and tax discs, history book stamped. It is very solid, battery trays mint, sills mint, fuse box mint, boot floors mint.

The plans are possible wheel change, loads of crome ( i live 3 doors down from a bufty, redrsmk5 ) !!! Abit of paint to freshen the car up, and abit more power !!! So i hope to show it over the next few months.

Pics to follow 2moro night............

 

Good on ya mate.

 

Cheers RSMK4TURBO

 

Looking forward to the pics!!

 

As promised some pics of my new toy.................







So there you go, future plans more power, crome engine bay, good set of 88 spec door cards, clear front/side repeaters, smoked rear lights.

Comments welcome good or bad..........

 

keep it amber spray the wheels and change the boot decal imo.

looks flawless mate good buy.

 

Nice mate id keep the ambers but each to there own.

 

Looks and sounds like one to preserve rather than cover in super glue and ram-raid Motorworld, coming out of the other side draped in spangly jewlery, cheap alloys wrapped in even cheaper rubber, and a "Motorsport" scripted sunstrip - the right of passage for any chav chariot!!! 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.

 

Thanks for the comments, tintin i have no intention of turning into a chav mobile, id like to freshen it up abit but still keeping it as close to how it rolled off the production line. I like the clear front/side repeaters i think it freshens it up abit without going OTT(each to there own). Reguarding the engine mods im looking for around the 180 mark so im not completely trying to kill the CVH (big power is not for me).

Thanks again for the comments, all taken on board but before anything changes i need to go and buff the hell out of it lol !!!!!!!!!!

 

that looks sweet as mate

 

I'd go clear, and sort the wheels out... I hate black alloys at the best of times!
180bhp is nice and easy to achieve whilst preserving reliability.

 

i like it mate

 

Im going to either have the wheels painted silver, or i may go for the 16" mondeo wheels i dont know yet....

 

Thanks for the kind comments people...

 

not bad, i would get yourself a nice set of 90spec interior? or you staying with the 88?

 

AJ i will stick with the 88 spec interior but i may change the front bumper and rear spoiler to 90 spec im not sure yet.

 

Leave it 88 spec looks mint like that.

 

Looks tidy, I'm a 90 spec guy but i like the interiors.
Think your gonna go in the right direction with it.
Get it waxed, let the buftying start lol

 

roro this is my 5th S2 so i know what works and what doesnt, i hope im going in the right direction lol !!!!

The buftying started last night and will continue 2 today...

 

Looks a lovely motor.

I am still waiting to see this pen!!

 

LOL !!! I will get a pic up for you..

 

nice ride

 

Looks like its in good hands then.
Red s2's all the way lol
