right im in a predicament (spelling)
a mk5 escort brake fluid reservoir is different to a rst one right ?

is it possible to simply put a rst one onto my mk5 escort ?

also rst suspension . . front and rear are these the same as a mk5 escort or totally different and no way of making them fit ?

thanks for ya help

jim

 

Would RS2000 Suspension not be better?

Benni.

 

Marco off here had good suspension on his RS2000, used to go very well on track I think against cars that were alot faster. Might be worth a Pm

 

yeah if i could get ma hands on some

just wondering as there is a set of rst suspension in for sale room and if it would fit would be nice

 

yeah good idea ill drop him pm



anyone know owt about brake reservoir's ?

 

I know for a fact that the Mk 4 rear suspension is totally different to a Mk5.A Mk 4 indenpendant suspension,a Mk5 has a beam.I wont think a Mk5 could be fixed easily onto a Mk4 Escort.Regards,micky

 

right okii thatnks for that mate will have to give them a miss


right now for the brake reservoir ! any one know anything ?

 

i dont think the reservoir is the same,
but you could fit a remote res to the cylinder,have a look on compbrake site.they only push into a rubber seal

 

Mk4 and mk5 brake reservoirs are not the same.

The Std mk5 reservoir is better than the mk4.

The Fiesta turbo boys fit the Mk5 Reservoir as its also bigger than the mk3 fiesta.

ooh right so i should keep mine then ! okii she will stay !

thanks for your help lads !!

 

Was jus gonna say what Ollie said !! When we built Ollie's up with the turbo runnin gear, one of the main +'s of the conversion was dumpin the dodgy ABS fitted to Rs turbos which included the resivour !!

So hang on to yours Jim !!

Whats the plans for it then ??

jb

 

no plans really just like the slightly bigger bottle ! i was gonna just wack a rst brake fluid tank on so then i can get some bufty bits that go on it haha but if its not worth putting the tank on i wont bother

 

Maybe get an XR3i one then Jim ??

Same size as the rs turbo one but without the pipe attachments for the abs !!

Everyone's a winner !!

jb

 

ooh that sounds good !! ebay job hey

soi this will go straight on inplace of mine ?

 

Why not get a Mk5 RS 2000 one.

 

are these same as rst ones then ? just no abs ?? and would it gto straight on ?

cheers
