Post Ford Escort RS TURBO MK4 S2 **1990** 07-01-2014

i will introduce myself with a smile!

First of all i´m from Portugal, leaving in a Island called Madeira (certenly many of you have ear about it)

In the island we just have 8 or 11 off these (including xr3i, s1 and s2), so i will try to explain all the details i want to do...



With mint looking!

the car is already like this, have been reinforced, have a new and std inside, painted botom end and already got Tarox brakes with sierra coswort brake pumps in all 4 wheels... many other things i can see later...

This car got just one Owner, so i know what i bought from him

I will change the rims for 16" compomotive (rare ones) for the car could pass the inspection that we have here at Portugal! without that i cannot run the car! so many stuppid laws!

At this moment my engine is going to be rebuilt in England in a company that we got a connections, new pistons, EFI head and all the Wiering Loom, sstage2 gearbox quaf diff, manifold, and all painted in Black pouder couted... etc

We will see how this work will be when we finish the car...

Got some ideais to put some stuff in CARBON made!






Got some new pieces for my car, so i will giving pictures as everibody wants!

Less talk!
















PS: never tought that Ford got this monster, like sierras, never seen sutch passion!

Happy to show my project small compared to what i´ve seen here!

Greetings

ps: to be continued...

Nice looking car. I have seen some RST's in places like Corfu, but they are rare and mostly in bad condition, but yours looks lovely.

Std...

it´s 80 / 60 I think, if this means something this mesures

going to 16" because the tire tounch inside, and all the coilovers they make for this model, it need some welding at the back, for suport

17" will not pass the inspection here i need the car runing, or i will sell it never!

Lets see...

And yes the weather here, is perfect to match pictures, but this onee wants cold air!

some new updates


I will remeber this picture for life!!














Thx for watching and giving me advisses from pm :-D

Hello!

I hope today i got the new pictures, and do hope they will be a lot from The company i asked for...

I got a question here... as you know i got the 283mm tarox discs with the sierra 4x4 calipers

Got my eyes on a compomotive with offset 40 (positive) 15"/7"

Do they fit in the car... do they fit in the caliper space?

Someone know this? test it? got pictures?
