I can understand making your diesel escort look like a rs2000 but not the other way and rip ya lump out an stick a diesel in it.. have a look

http://www.pistonheads.co.uk/sales/1388552.htm

 

an somehow i fail to see it being rs owners club registered, mind you it may be but not for the engine swap

 

WTF why would you bother doing something so dumb...(its had cosworth dash fitted

fitted with boost gauge and has dump valve fitted
this car sounds awsome
full stainless steel exghaust
tinted windows
17 inch alloys with good tyres
this car is rs owners club registered)

 

lol i bought a very similar one to break, think the lad said he killed the original engine and fancied some cheap running costs with the RS looks so fired a TD in it

 

Or its a ringer??????? why you'd ring an escort diesel though and more so with an RS log book I dont know.

 

its like wen i worket for vw we had an old man with mk3 golf gti with (cl) badges on it

 

The best bit of the whole advertisement is where he says its got a dump valve and "this car sounds awesome" i would put a fair sum of money on the fact a td engine wont sound awesome!!!

 

Saw the same thing done to an escort cab a few years ago...it was running an RS turbo CVH but the owner decided a non-turbo diesel would be better

 

Ł900

 

Fail

 

who would do such a stupid thing, goin ta put a trany engine in my escos now

 

major fail.

 

the poor car.its still got the original wiring loom for the rs2000 engine. I bet that looks pretty.

 

got talking to a bloke in a petrol station once....i was filling the saff up and he pulled in behind me and got out and said......"i've had a few of these like"....i'm thinking whuppy fuckn do.......he says "yeh got one atm that i'm putting a derv lump in......canny fast like"...........i just look away and go pay for my PETROL..........nob head......

 

yh i get that people say they have had one before then they say is that fast im like its a replica mate makes them look like they never had one lol
its good when i go in lakeside car park went in there it was wet and giving it a bit of sideways and saw a old gezza with his kid massive smiles on there face and give me the thumbs up things like that are cool and i have a clicker for how many car alarms i set off aswell coz im that sad lol

 

Atleast it wasn't a good RS2000 like the Mk2 Version

Still, what a nob lol, I don't get why he fitted a diesel engine

 

lol.. that will make a great thread.. imagine the insults..

 

this car was built and fitted with the td engine by a lad i know from blackpool

i led to believe the rs2000 lump died and he had a derv knocking around so fitted it

he sold it about a year ago,

 

i think we should start sending him some rather odd questions.. bit like the tit with the astra 1.6 gsi (not) that was going round passionford a while ago.

 

well i think if me rs2000 lump had died i'd have found myself an old 2.0 mondeo an gone for the zetec on throttle bodies or somat.. mind you i suppose money must have been his problem here

 

That wouldn't happen to be a chap from Scunthorpe would it - Red Mk5 Cabby?

 

 

webby?

 

infact I've seen a couple in blackpool, a white 1 and a grey with black leather trim

 

lol at the ESCORT RS TURBO badge on the boot..........well hes not lying is he!

 

I suppose at least it'll have a bit of grunt now though lol

 

lol I saw this done to an old style Audi TT a few years ago. The 1.8 20v had been changed for a 1.9tdi. Different but you have to ask yourself why

 

Well iv been thinking of building a second car, using a mk4 combi van fitting a diesel lump, as cheap on fuel and as some will agree, diesel can be tuned very well!
Well I say using that engine in a vague way, as ford make an engine called the Puma which come in the form od 2.0,2.2 and 2.4 which goes in to lots for things from the mondeo, trannies and jags and land rovers, my idea will use the 2.2 hybrid block from the land rover and the 2.2 jag twin turbo head.

 

if the rs2000 in question was a minter, it wouldn't be great to diesel, but if its only average condition and the engine let go a diesel aint that bad a conversion imo

 

Doesn't look too bad. As you say, different, but wouldn't be my choice of conversion..

agreed, some of the modern diesels are just as nice to drive, if not better than petrols

 

It was over in Lancaster...it was a mk4, 90 spec RS turbo bits in white. Looked great, sounded like a tractor and went like one too...
